General Response Of Kneading-compacted Unsaturated Silty Sand Under Drained And Undrained True Triaxial Testing
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)A comprehensive series of 36 drained and 36 undrained true triaxial tests was accomplished to investigate the stress-strain-strength behaviour of kneading-compacted unsaturated silty sand (SP-SM) under multi-axial stress ... -
Geohazard Potential Of Rainfall Induced Slope Failure On Expansive Clay
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)Each year, rain induced slope failures cause significant damages in highway infrastructures and environments, as well as tragic losses of human lives around the world. Rainfall-induced slope failure is a common problem in ... -
Group Assignment and Annual Average Daily Traffic Estimation of Short-term Traffic Counts Using Gaussian Mixture Modeling and Neural Network Models
(2016-09-13)The grouping of similar traffic patterns and cluster assignment process represent the most critical steps in AADT estimation from short-term traffic counts. Incorrect grouping and assignment often become a significant ... -
Group Resistance Of Recycled Plastic Pin In Sustainable Slope Stabilization
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-07-14)Slope failure is a common phenomenon in areas with slope constructed on high plasticity clay and shallow slope failure is predominant in North Texas. The cumulative maintenance cost of minor slides is equal or greater than ... -
