Abstract: To prevent fly ash from becoming an environmental hazard, it is very often used as a fill material in the construction of embankments. The stability of slopes incorporating the unsaturated behavior is of primary concern ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive framework to understand the uncertainties associated with the water retention characteristic curve (WRCC) of fly ash, which is necessary for studying the unsaturated behavior of the fly ...

Abstract: Recently, blind source separation (BSS) methods have gained significant attention in the area of signal processing. Independent component analysis (ICA) and second-order blind identification (SOBI) are two popular BSS ...

Abstract: The modified cross-correlation (MCC) blind identification method is extended to handle the underdetermined case of structural system identification. The underdetermined case is one in which the number of sensors is less ...
