  • Behavioral thresholds in mixtures of sand and clay

    Creator:
    Simpson, Daniel Corder
    Abstract:
    Nearly all soils are comprised of mixtures of coarse and fine particles. Behavior under mechanical and thermal loading of soil is strongly influenced (and in some cases, governed) by the ratio of coarse to fine particles. A better understanding of the fundamental behavior of soil mixtures will provide insight to...

  • Bearing capacity and immediate settlement of shallow foundations on clay

    Creator:
    Strahler, Andrew W.
    Abstract:
    Shallow foundations are extensively used to support structures of all sizes and derive their support from near surface soils. Thus, they are typically embedded up to a few meters into the soil profile. Designers of shallow foundations are required to meet two limit states: overall failure of the soil beneath...
