Field Probe for Measuring Thermal Resistivity of Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Estimation of thermal resistivity of soils is normally done in the laboratory with the help of a laboratory thermal probe. However, as naturally occurring soils consist of various size fractions, ranging from clay to gravel, ...
Methodology to Determine Thermal Properties of Soils in Cold Regions from Heat-Pulse Migration Characteristics
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Accurate measurement of the thermal properties (viz., thermal conductivity, thermal resistivity, volumetric heat capacity, and thermal diffusivity) of soils in cold regions necessitates the development of techniques that ...
Comprehensive Study of the Properties and Microstructural Characteristics of Rubberized Concrete Using Destructive and Nondestructive Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent times, rubberized concrete (RubCrete) has been considered a sustainable solution to address various issues associated with the environmental impacts of the waste rubber (WasRub) sourced from end-of-life tires. ...
Shear Strength Characteristics of Frozen Fine Sands under Direct Shear Testing Conditions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Geomechanical properties such as shear strength, stiffness, and compressibility of soils subjected to subzero temperatures are of utmost importance for executing various projects related to infrastructure development and ...
