Studies On Volume Change Movements In High PI Clays For Better Design Of Low Volume Pavements
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Numerous low- to medium-volume roads such as Farm Market (FM) roads constructed on expansive clay subgrades, especially in the eastern and central Texas, encounter severe pavement cracking and premature loss of serviceability. ...
Comparison Of Distributed Versus Lumped Hydrologic Simulation Models Using Stationary And Moving Storm Events Applied To Small Synthetic Rectangular Basins And An Actual Watershed Basin
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-04-22)
The purpose of this investigation is to compare simulations using several artificial rectangular basins and a real drainage basin for distributed and lumped hydrologic models via results obtained with the U.S. Geological ...
Modeling Unsaturated Soil Response Under Suction-controlled Multi-axial Stress States
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-04-22)
In this research work, a novel suction-controlled true triaxial testing apparatus has been developed to test 3-in (7.5-cm) side, cubical specimens of unsaturated soil under controlled-suction states for a wide range of ...
Deep Mixing Technology For Mitigation Of Swell-shrink Behavior Of Expansive Soils Of Moderate To Deep Active Depths
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-04-22)
Expansive soils are well known for their cyclic shrink-swell behavior due to seasonal related moisture changes. These cyclic movements of expansive soils are due to physico-chemical changes at particle level that are ...
Life Cycle Assessment Of Bio-material Stabilized Expansive Soils
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Pavement cracking is one of the major maintenance works that requires millions of dollars in repair costs annually. Pavement cracks are formed due to moisture and temperature fluctuations in the soil. Stabilization of ...
Non-linear Finite Element Dynamic Analysis Of Tapered Hollow Steel Poles For Passive Base Isolation
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-08-08)
Long tapered poles are commonly used to support Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Cameras for security and traffic monitoring. Images received from CCTV are normally distorted depending on the wind induced vibration ...
