Abstract: Existing research has shown that visual input significantly contributes to learning, therefore, it is paramount to use visual tools to help demonstrate engineering concepts. One of these tools, digital image analysis, can ...

Abstract: Class F fly ash cannot be used alone in soil stabilization applications as it is not self-cementing. An activator such as Portland cement or lime must be added to produce cementitious products often called pozzolan stabilized ...

Abstract: Compacted clay has traditionally been used as a lining material in municipal solid waste landfills. However, natural clays may not always provide good contaminant sorption properties. One alternative material that is ...

Abstract: Permeability of an asphalt pavement is one of the most important parameters that have a direct influence on its design life. It is an intrinsic property that relates the average fluid velocity to a constant pressure gradient; ...

Abstract: The fines content of a granular aggregate base (GAB) material (<0.074  mm) is highly variable and often related to the crushing process, transportation, and stockpiling in a quarry or site. The influence of fines content ...

Abstract: An experimental research program was carried out to evaluate the environmental impacts of embankments constructed with steel slag on groundwater. A series of sequential water leach tests and sequential column leach tests ...

Abstract: Millions of cubic meters of marine sediment are dredged from Chesapeake Bay waters in Maryland each year. Due to their low-strength characteristics, the sediments often need to be amended with other geomaterials for potential ...

Abstract: Ports and waterways are routinely dredged to maintain navigation channels, resulting in large quantities of dredged materials (DM) that require disposal. This study examines the reuse of a recent DM as a topsoil alternative ...

Abstract: Erosion management is a major environmental challenge facing highway construction. A research study was undertaken to analyze possible sustainable improvements to current standard procedures for final grade turfgrass ...

Abstract: The amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated in the US increases every year, and about 30% of the MSW generated is either recyclable or compostable. Utilization of compost-amended topsoils as a vegetative layer on ...
