Unsaturated Soils and Foundation Design : Theoretical Considerations for an Effective Stress Framework

Creator:

Baker, Josiah D.

Abstract:

This study presents the theoretical background necessary to model the bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations in partially saturated soils. The conventional bearing capacity equations for shallow and deep foundations and the 𝛽-method for deep foundation side resistance have been modified to include the effects of matric suction and...

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...
