Mechanical Properties of Undisturbed Tone-River Gravel Obtained by In-Situ Freezing Method

Linear dynamic properties of sandy and gravelly soils from large-scale resonant tests

“…The nonlinear behaviors of intact and reconstituted specimens of gravelly materials from several different sites have been compared (Goto et al 1994;Goto et al 1992;Hatanaka and Uchida 1992;Konno et al 1994;Kokusho and Tanaka 1994;Kokusho et al 1995). A typical result is shown in Figure 4.20 (Hatanaka and Uchida, 1995).…”

Aging Effects on Small Strain Shear Moduli and Liquefaction Properties of in-situ Frozen and Reconstituted Sandy Soils

“…In the laboratory tests, Yoshimi et al (1984Yoshimi et al ( , 1994, Hatanaka et al (1985) and Goto et al (1992) showed that the liquefaction resistance of the in-situ frozen sample was signiˆcantly higher than that of the tube sample as well as a reconstituted sample. The diŠerence in the liquefaction resistances of these samples was due to a disturbance of the tube sample and diŠerence in the aging eŠects between the in-situ frozen sample and the other samples.…”

Case studies of road embankments with and without damage by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake

“…3, the test results on the reconstituted specimens were also plotted. Taking into account the above-mentioned fact reported by Goto et al (1992), the effects of sample disturbance due to freezing on the static strength properties may have been insignificant in the present study. The obtained values of cohesion and internal friction angle, …”

“…Some previous studies revealed that soil samples containing fine particles were disturbed due to freezing under the low confining condition (e.g., Goto, 1993). However, as Goto et al (1992) reported that the difference between the static strength properties of undisturbed and reconstituted gravelly soils was insignificant, it was assumed that the effects of freezing on those properties of the samples retrieved in this study were negligible. Figure 2 shows the grading curves.…”
