Swell pressure prediction by suction methods
Erzin, Yusuf; Erol, Orhan (2007-07-10)
Soil suction is the most relevant soil parameter for characterization of the swell behavior. An attempt was made to predict swell pressures from soil suction measurements. In this study, Na-bentonite was mixed with kaolinite in the ratios of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% of dry kaolinite weight to obtain soils in a wide range of plasticity indices (i.e. 30, 50, 68, 84 and 97%). Suction measurements using thermocouple psychrometer technique were made on statically compacted specimens. The dependence of soil suction ...

Soil suction is the most relevant soil parameter for characterization of the swell behaviour. An attempt has been made to predict the swell pressures from soil suction measurements. Bentonite-Kaolinite clay mixtures were prepared to obtain soils in a wide range of plasticity indices. Suction measurements using thermocouple physchrometer technique and constant volume swell tests in oedometers were made on statically compacted specimens. Soil suction is correlated to plasticty index, water content and dry den...

Strain-controlled bulge test
Alaca, B. Erdem; Toga, K. Bugra; Akar, Orhan; Akın, Tayfun (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2008-12-01)
A closed-loop approach is adopted to implement strain rate Control during the bulge test. Due to the difficulty Of measuring strains directly, the technique is based oil the conversion of displacement measurement to the corresponding strains using the plane-strain formulation. The necessary temporal evolution of the midpoint displacement of a rectangular diaphragm is derived under the condition of constant Strain rate and is Imposed as a control criterion. The technique is demonstrated oil 500-nm-thick Au d...
Shallow foundation analysis by smoothed particle hydrodynamics method
Emren, Volkan; Tuncay, Kağan (2021-09-08)
This paper illustrates the use of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) technique to compute the bearingcapacity of shallow foundations and establish their failure mechanism. SPH is a numerical method based on aLagrangian formulation to solve partial differential equations by discretizing the computational domain with a setof particles that have field variables such as mass, and density. SPH is a meshless method and is not affected bythe particles’ arbitrariness due to its adaptive nature, and it can natura...
