Abstract: In the interest of utilizing high-plasticity excavation soil as a replacement for fine aggregate in cement mortar, a study on the thermal treatment of soils containing 25% and 40% clay fractions was carried out. A range ...

Abstract: Microfabric plays an important role in the engineering behavior of soils. Although many studies are available in the literature on the effect of microfabric on the static behavior of soils, the effect on the cyclic behavior ...

Abstract: A hydrometerological study of the Yockanookany watershed in Mississippi was conducted to demonstrate the use of National Weather Service (NWS) radar and rain gage data for flood forecasting. Weather radar scenes were ...

Abstract: This paper discusses development, installation, and analysis of instrumentation systems for reliably measuring casing, thermal distortion, and alignment deviation on a large combustion turbine in ...

Abstract: Land reclamation is a major civil engineering activity in Singapore. Due to depletion of suitable local fills and the cost of imported sand, dredged and excavated clay fills, in spite of their poor engineering properties, ...

Abstract: Cement-stabilized pond ash is often used as an alternative to conventional materials in compacted subgrade and subbases in pavements. The addition of cement to pond ash increases cohesion and improves strength. The effects ...

Abstract: Pond ash is a byproduct obtained from the combustion of coal in thermal power plants. It can be used as an alternative to conventional granular materials in compacted subgrade or subbase layers in pavements. The properties ...

Abstract: In recent years there have been moves in industrial engineering towards greater automation through intelligent systems and this has resulted in replacing human expertise. In many cases the ...
