Sulfur reduces the adhesion and shear strength of iron more effectively than phosphorus. The surface chemistry, well described by first principles calculations, impacts macroscale tribological properties.

In the last decades, several engineering works have been developed in the Northeast of Brazil, a region marked by the occurrence of collapsible and expansive soils. This work aimed to characterize and study the behavior of two samples of residual soils collected in the municipality of Salgueiro-PE regarding their collapse potentials and shear strength parameters, in natural and disturbed conditions, evaluating the influence of the applied vertical stresses and the structural arrangement in these properties. The results obtained showed that the two samples analyzed show collapsible behavior, however, the observed potential for collapse was lower after the original structure arrangement was undone. From the direct shear strength tests, the strength parameters of the two soils were obtained, which pointed effective friction angle close to 30° and cohesive intercept close to 0 kPa. The destructuring of the samples did not cause a considerable variation in these parameters. Thus, it was possible to conclude that for these samples the microstructure has a predominant influence on the occurrence of collapsibility, but does not have the same relevance on the shear strength, such that the material’s destructuring can be considered as an effective measure to reduce the potential collapse.

Soil settlement is normally quantified using conventional soil volume change models which are solely based on the effective stress and the role of shear strength is ignored due to the difficulties to incorporate in the framework. The Rotational Multiple Yield Surface Framework (RMYSF) is a soil volume change model developed from the standpoint of the interaction between the effective stress and shear strength. RMYSF incorporates the development of mobilised shear strength within the body of the soil whenever the soil is subjected to anisotropic compression. Currently the framework has been applied to predict the soil anisotropic stress-strain behaviour at any effective stress. This paper present the enhancement of this volume change framework using normalisation of axial strain with the understanding that the failure axial strain is not unique, but increases as the effective stress increases. This technique has essentially produced a better accuracy in the prediction of the stress-strain response for Malaysian residual soils. A series of drained tri-axial tests under various effective stresses has been conducted using specimens of 50mm diameter and 100mm height and from the stress-strain curves the inherent mobilised shear strength envelopes at various axial strains have been determined. These mobilised shear strength envelopes were then applied for the prediction of the soil stress-strain response. An excellent agreement between the predicted and the actual stress-strain curves has been achieved.

The hypothesis on effective stress of unsaturated soils is validated by consolidation strength results of triaxial tests for the compacted residual soil. The effective stress can describe the unsaturated soil behavior, which was defined from shear strength or from soil water characteristic curves. Since the effective stress from consolidation agrees with that from the shear strength, the effective stress from soil water retention curve could describe the unsaturated behavior consistently on both consolidation path and stress at failure. The effective stress can describe the entire unsaturated behavior from consolidation to failure.
