TL;DR: Alkaline activation has received much attention in recent years as a method for improving the soil properties as discussed by the authors, and this paper presents the details of laboratory investigation to evaluate the performance of this method.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of an investigation into the interaction between the various electrical factors pertaining to resistivity tests in Perth sandy soil (specifically AC input voltage and frequency) and those controlling the soil characteristics, specifically water content and relative density of the soil, and the type of water employed in the tests, whether distilled or tap water.

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic responses of cast in-situ reinforced concrete vertical and batter pile groups constructed in the silty sand have been investigated, and their responses were compared in terms of resonant frequency and peak displacement.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the results of the numerical study to estimate the ultimate uplift capacity of group piles using finite element software PLAXIS-3D, where the analysis examines the influence of factors such as number of piles n and length L to width D ratio, and properties of the granular pile material and compares the efficiency of group of GAP systems of different configurations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a suction-controlled direct shear apparatus was modified to study the influence of matric suction on interface (a stainless steel plate), and the main modifications included the fabrication of the shear box base/test cell for interface testing, along with some other important features and modifications.
