Abstract: Analysis of a slug test estimating the hydraulic conductivity of a vertical cutoff wall is complicated by the high compressibility of backfill materials and by the proximity of a well to the edge of the cutoff wall. An ...

Abstract: Recently, advanced types of micropiles have been developed to enhance their load-bearing capacity, responding to increased demands for micropile applications. However, these improved micropiles present challenges for rapid ...

Abstract: This paper addresses practical applications of the type curve method and modified linear curve fitting method described in a companion paper for evaluating the hydraulic conductivity of a vertical cutoff wall. Sensitivity ...

Abstract: Analysis of a slug test to estimate hydraulic conductivity of a vertical cutoff wall is complicated by the high compressibility of the backfill materials and by the proximity of the well intake section to the edge of the ...

Abstract: In constructing a vertical cutoff wall, bentonite-water slurry is frequently used to maintain the stability of sidewalls during excavation before backfilling the trench with less permeable materials to complete the cutoff ...

Abstract: This case study illustrates the investigation and remediation of distress and subsidence on a multilevel, posttension, cast-in-place concrete parking garage that was constructed at the crest and over the side of a gentle ...

Abstract: This paper describes the stability of the west perimeter dike at the Craney Island Dredged Material Management Area (CIDMMA) using an undrained strength stability analysis. An undrained strength stability analysis expresses ...

Abstract: Suffusion refers to the loss of small particles in a soil matrix without volume changes, caused by hydrodynamic forces and alternation of pore fluid chemistry. This study investigated the ionic concentration (IC)-induced ...

Abstract: This paper describes an interesting slope failure in a liner system of a municipal solid waste containment facility during construction because the sliding interface is not the geomembrane (GM)/compacted low-permeability ...

Abstract: This paper presents recommendations for selecting the type and magnitude of drained shear strength parameters for analysis of landslides. In particular, the importance, existence, and use of the cohesion shear strength ...
