Within the confines of this study, the results of direct shear box tests performed on poorly (GP) and well-graded (GW) gravel samples are presented. Samples are tested under effective normal stresses ranging from 77 to 205 kPa, and with initial void ratio ranging from 0.42 to 0.53. The estimated peak secant-angles of shearing resistances vary in the range of 49 to 61 degrees. On the basis of the ratio of vertical to horizontal deformation rates, the peak angles of dilation are estimated as 10-16 degrees. These estimated values are concluded to be in coherency with available literature, other than the recommendations of Navfac DM 7.01.

A laboratory study of fracture grouting technique in sand
Tunçdemir, Fatih; Ergun, Mehmet Ufuk; Department of Civil Engineering (2008)
In this study, fracture grouting technique of saturated, granular soils of different fine content were investigated. Model tests were carried out by using fluid particulate grouts namely micro fine cement and ordinary portland cement grouts. Basically, relationships were obtained between soil conditions (grain size distribution, relative density, overburden stress) and grouting parameters (type of grout, grouting pressure, amount of injected grout, rheological properties of the grout or water/solids ratio)....
Comparison of undrained shear strength by pressuremeter and other tests, and numerical assessment of the effect of finite probe length in pressuremeter tests
IŞIK, Nihat Sinan; ULUSAY, REŞAT; Doyuran, Vedat (2015-08-01)
There is a wide body of research reported in the literature which compare the undrained shear strength determined from various field and laboratory tests. The pressuremeter testing equipment and the related design techniques have been continuously refined. However, the undrained shear strength (S (u)) determined from the pressuremeter test (PMT) is generally higher than that obtained from other field or laboratory tests. In this study, numerical methods to consider the effects of length to diameter ratio (L...
Monte Carlo model to assess effects of land-disposed E&P waste on groundwater
Parker, J.c.; Ünlü, Kahraman; Kemblowski, M.w. (1993-12-01)
The objective of this study was to develop quantitative stochastic methods to assess effects of land-disposed E&P waste on groundwater quality. A computer model was developed to assess the probability of groundwater contamination from salts and oily waste constituents disposed by landspreading or in waste pits. The model considers leaching of chemicals from the waste zone over time until the constituent mass is depleted. It considers volatilization of organics for landspreading. Water flow is controlled by ...
Assessing Weathering in Field Cell Experiments Using Quantitative Mineralogy and Sequential Leaching
Haupt, C; Kabwe, L; Klein, B; Jorge, A; Altun, Naci Emre (null; 2011-11-01)
The objective of this study was to characterize the weathering behavior of select samples from the non acid producing waste rock materials at the Antamina mine using field cell tests and laboratory scale sequential extraction tests. Field cell results have indicated the release of metals, particularly arsenic and zinc, under neutral pH conditions. Sequential extraction and mineralogical characterization tests have demonstrated that carbonate dissolution under acidic conditions may be a significant source of...
An experimental investigation on the chemical stability of selected formation and determination of the proper type of water-base drilling fluids. Part 1. Descriptive tests
Erkekol, Selcuk; Gucuyener, I. Hakki; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2006-07-01)
The objective of this study was to identify the descriptive tests for drilling stable holes through the problems of the selected formations. This study was performed on the shale samples taken from 10 wells in which hole instability was encountered to various extents during drilling the Germav formation. A total of 13 formation samples, characterizing the problematic intervals of the 10 wells under consideration, were evaluated. Descriptive tests were used to compare the samples and to determine the samples...
