...Muhammad Mubaraki This research focuses on the possibility of using hydrated lime as an agent to enhance the properties of sabkha soil, such as maximum dry density, optimum water content, liquid limit, plasticity index, maximum strength, and compressibility. A series of laboratory tests...

... for the stress–strain and resistivity–strain curves. Results show that both curves for each specimen were identified by six distinct stages. The effects of initial water content and dry density were analyzed and indicated that soil failure patterns and initial electrical resistivity are significantly influenced...

... different initial dry densities of 1.61, 1.71, and 1.76 Mg/m 3 . These tests were conducted under the saturated condition after the specimens were subjected to different numbers of drying and wetting cycles. The results indicate that drying and wetting have different impacts on the mechanical behaviors...

... was collected and tested. The calibration curves for the relationship among moisture content, dry density, and stress wave velocities were obtained. In order to verify the validity of the laboratory calibration curves, field tests were also performed on a trial embankment at the site of the reservoir. Comparing...

...Xu-dong Wang; Lei Zhang An optimal bitumen-aggregate ratio selection method for hot mix asphalt, based on aggregate closest compact condition, was introduced. According to research, high correlation within dry density, voids in mineral aggregate (VMA) and voids in coarse aggregate (VCA) versus...
