Abstract:For a better understanding of the performance of earth and earth-supported structures, especially earth dams, it is essential to define and evaluate variables that determine the deformability of soils and the extent to which these variables are time-dependent. The Paper describes the observed time-dependent behaviour of two compacted clays subject to pure bending (stress gradient), uniaxial tension and uniaxial compression. It is shown that time of loading significantly influences the deformation behaviour of … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
