Effects Of Calcium-based Treatment On Organic Soil Behavior
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Organic soils are found in many places around the world. Organic soils undergo large secondary settlements depending on the amount of organic matter present in the soil Organic soil is a mixture of finely divided particles ...
A MODERN RESERVOIR ANALOG FOR A POORLY DRAINED “HIGH ACCOMMODATION” FLUVIAL SYSTEM: SEDIMENTARY PROCESSES, ARCHITECTURE, AND RESERVOIR CONNECTIVITY OF THE GRIJALVA SYSTEM, TABASCO STATE, MEXICO
(2016-09-12)
High-accommodation fluvial systems are subject to much modeling and substantial rock drilling and imagination, but limited modern field observation. The Grijalva River system of Tabasco State, Mexico offers the opportunity ...
Non-Destructive Evaluation of Soil Moisture in Evapotranspiration Cover System
(2017-12-07)
relationships were proposed: a compacted clay model with an R2 value of 0.92 and a vegetated clay model with an R2 of 0.87. Further model validation showed that the percentage of error remained within 5% for the developed models. Qualitative analysis of data...
Geohazard Potential Of Rainfall Induced Slope Failure On Expansive Clay
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
constructed on high plasticity clays. These post failure costs can be significantly reduced if precautions are taken ahead of time. Development of an early hazard warning system based on weather forecast data can help identify potential slopes susceptible...
EVALUATION OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SULFATE CONTENT AND ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY
(2022-12-19)
Worth and El Paso were selected for laboratory experimentation. The Fort Worth Sample was high plastic clay, and El Paso was poorly graded sand. Existing sulfate content was measured using a colorimeter for the two soil samples. The laboratory...
Evaluation of Geotechnical Parameters of Soil Using Electrical Resistivity Imaging
(2021-12-20)
samples classified as low plastic clay (CL), 15 samples as high plastic clay (CH), and four samples as elastic silt (MH) were used to measure the resistivity of compacted clay soils. Furthermore, soil samples were categorized into six categories based...
A MEGABRECCIA WITH ASSOCIATED STRATIGRAPHY OF THE CHERRY CANYON AND BELL CANYON FORMATIONS TRANSITION (GUADALUPIAN, MIDDLE PERMIAN), SOUTHERN DELAWARE MOUNTAINS, WEST TEXAS
(2017-05-10)
The Cherry Canyon and Bell Canyon Formations (Guadalupian, Middle Permian) are well exposed in the southern part of the Delaware Mountains, West Texas and are marked by the presence of several distinct and widespread debris ...
Impact Of Lateral Swell Pressure On Retaining Structure Design Using Expansive Cohesive Backfill
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-08-08)
Since cohesive soils are difficult to drain once becoming saturated, in order to reduce lateral earth pressures exerted by saturated cohesive soils on retaining structures, retaining wall designs most always specify use ...
Evaluation Of Physico-mechanical Properties Of Clayey Soils Using Electrical Resistivity Imaging Technique
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-07-14)
, multiple regression analyses were conducted to develop practically applicable models correlating resistivity with influential geotechnical parameters. The soil samples considered in this study were classified as highly plastic clay (CH) and low plasticity...
Experimental Investigations On Small-strain Stiffness Properties Of Partially Saturated Soils Via Resonant Column And Bender Element Testing
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
A comprehensive series of resonant column (ASTM D 2325-68), bender element (ASTM C 778), pressure plate (ASTM D 4015-92), and filter paper (ASTM D 5298) tests were conducted on compacted specimens of poorly graded sand (SP) and high plasticity clay...
