Abstract: Aeolian and kaolin deposits contribute greatly to infrastructural damage during the rainy seasons because of massive collapse settlements. The prediction of wetting-induced collapse potential and compressibility behavior ...

Abstract: Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are widely used as hydraulic barriers in landfills and mine tailings facilities due to their low hydraulic conductivity. The average grain size of the granular bentonites (GBs) used in GCLs ...

Abstract: Infrastructure development in mountainous regions is vital due to rapid population growth and increased tourism. Most of these regions are vulnerable to landslides under rainfall events due to changes in the shear strength ...

Abstract: The geotechnical centrifuge is an efficient alternative to the slurry consolidometer and settling columns for expedited testing of mine tailings and dredged clay slurries, while accurately reproducing the field stress ...
