Assessment Of Soil-water Retention Properties Of Lime And Cement Treated Clays
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) of unsaturated soils has considerable importance in the analysis of geotechnical engineering problems involving soils that remain under partially saturated conditions throughout ...
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 ...
Statistical Analysis Of Compressive Strength Of Clay Brick Masonry Prisms
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The Specification for Masonry Structures section of the current governing masonry design document in the U.S., reported by the Masonry Standards Joint Committee (MSJC), contains tables that can be used to determine the ...
Evaluation Of Texas Cone Penetrometer Test To Predict Undrained Shear Strength Of Clays
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The cone penetration test used in Texas is termed as Texas cone penetrometer (TCP), which works on dynamic principles similar to those of SPT, i.e. a hammer is used to drive the cone device for a preset depth of penetration ...
Nonlinear Finite Element Model Analysis Of Human Accommodation Lens
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The crystalline human lens is modeled by using the finite element software, ABAQUS/CAE Version 6.5-1 as an axisymmetric shell to study the optical power and displacement of anterior and posterior poles induced due to zonule ...
Expressions For Bond Stress Of A Tension Splice In Steel Reinforced Concrete
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The aim of the research is to develop expressions for the bond stress at a tension splice in reinforced concrete. Many experiments have been conducted inorder to ascertain the relationship between appropriate variables and ...
Field And Experimental Studies To Assess The Performance of Stabilized Expansive Clay
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
A vast majority of the expansive soils are montmorillonite-rich clays, over consolidated clays and shales. The swell and shrinkage movements of expansive soil cause considerable damage to structures such as buildings and ...
Nonlinear Finite Element-based Investigation Of The Effect Of Bedding Thickness On Underground Pipe
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The pipe-soil interaction is studied by using the finite element software, ABAQUS/CAE Version 6.5-1 as a symmetric model of embankment installation to study the effect of bedding property and thickness on pipe-soil interaction ...
Vehicular Emissions Models Using Mobile6.2 And Field Data
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-09-17)
Regression models to predict vehicular emissions for different categories of vehicles for different pollutants are presented in this thesis. Vehicular emissions are affected by numerous variables which, among others, include ...
Permeability Of Municipal Solid Waste In Bioreactor Landfill With Degradation
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Bioreactor landfills are operated and controlled to accelerate refuse decomposition, gas production and biological stabilization of the municipal solid waste (MSW). Leachate recirculation in bioreactor landfill creates a ...
