... of a water-soluble hydrophobizing agent added to a fine-grained soil. Based on the critical dosage ratio of 1:100 (hydrophobizing agent: soil) identified, a molding water content is defined constituting of a fraction of the hydrophobizing agent. Soil water content and dry density curves are developed using...

...Marisol Salva Ramirez; J. Carlos Santamarina Specific surface area is more informative than grain size for fine-grained sediments where S s > 1 m 2 /g. In fact, specific surface area plays a central role in engineering properties and processes in fine-grained soils, including pore size...

...Fernando H. M. Portelinha; Vinicius R. G. Pereira; Natalia S. Correia The use of local fine-grained soils in geosynthetic-reinforced structures can significantly reduce costs when granular materials are difficult to access. Another beneficial aspect of these soils is that enhanced mechanical...

...Yusuke Suzuki; Rune Dyvik; John H. Schmertmann Triaxial tests require a relatively long period of time for consolidation, especially on fine-grained soil. To accelerate the consolidation process, external filter paper strips have often been used in practice. This paper examines and evaluates use...

...Muhannad Ismeik; Orabi Al-Rawi This study presents artificial neural network (ANN) models to estimate the specific surface area of fine-grained soils as an alternative to sophisticated laboratory procedures. Geotechnical properties of 206 soils were measured experimentally based on ASTM standards...

...K. V. Uday; D. N. Singh Most of the studies dealing with cracking characteristics of the fine-grained soils focus on establishing the influence of various factors affecting cracking, after effects of cracking, and cracking patterns. Mathematical models have also been developed based...

...K. Prakash; A. Sridharan; H. S. Prasanna Plastic limit of fine-grained soils is conventionally determined in the laboratory by the soil thread rolling method. Many adverse comments have been recorded in the geotechnical engineering literature on the method about its reproducibility and operator...

...K Prakash; A Sridharan The dominant clay minerals present in fine-grained soils control the physical and engineering behavior of the soils. Determination of the dominant clay minerals in the soils, at present, requires procedures involving sophisticated instrumentation and the knowledge...

...AB Cerato; AJ Lutenegger This paper describes a test procedure for determining the total surface area of fine-grained soils using the Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether (EGME). The test involves saturating a soil sample with EGME and then removing the excess EGME in a vacuum desiccator, until the EGME...
