Abstract: As most previous studies have neglected the positive influence of salinity (osmotic suction) on most coastal soils in Australia, the design of transport infrastructure involving these soils has often been overly conservative. ...

Abstract: Steel furnace slag (SFS) and coal wash (CW) are two common by-products from the coal-mining and steel industries in Australia. Rubber crumbs (RC) is a material derived from waste tires contributing to environmental problems ...

Abstract: In this paper, the discrete element method (DEM) is coupled with the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to model the cone penetration test (CPT) of a saturated granular media. The coupled numerical model was calibrated using ...

Abstract: The practical application of waste materials such as steel furnace slag (SFS) and coal wash (CW) is becoming more prevalent in many geotechnical projects. While adding rubber crumbs (RCs) from recycled tires into mixtures ...

Abstract: The interest in the utilization of granular waste materials as construction fills in lieu of quarried natural aggregates has been increasing recently, resulting in more sustainable and cost-effective industry practices ...

Abstract: Coal wash is a granular waste material that is readily available in the vicinity of coal mining operations. While its potential use in structural fills has been recognized in the past, the effects of particle breakage on ...

Abstract: Column experiments that investigate the use of calcitic limestone as a potential material for permeable reactive barriers (PRBs), as well as its clogging behavior, are conducted under conditions that involve continuous ...
