The general and congruent effects of structure in natural soils and weak rocks
S. Leroueil,P. R. Vaughan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the engineering properties of naturally occurring sedimentary and residual deposits which are usually treated in geotechnical engineering as ‘soils’ are reviewed, and it is shown that usually they have characteristics due to bonded structure which are similar to those of porous weak rock.

Cambridge Geotechnical Centrifuge Operations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the stress/strain behavior of soil alters with change of effective pressure p and specific volume v. The range of values of a new equivalent liquidity LI5 = LI+0·5 log (p′/5) associated with yielding is 1·9

TL;DR: A review of the current understanding of phenomena involved in gas hydrate formation and the physical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments can be found in this paper, where the magnitudes and interdependencies of these properties are critically important for predicting and quantifying macroscale responses of hydrates to changes in mechanical, thermal, or chemical boundary conditions.

Theory and practice of the fall cone test
T. Koumoto,Guy T. Houlsby +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors described the theory and practice of the fall cone test and examined the applicability of dynamic analysis with regard to Hansbo's cone factor, K, for various cone angles.
