Sensitive Strata in Bootlegger Cove Formation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sensitivity magnitudes are interpreted from remolded strength values in recent subsurface geologic, geotechnical, and geochemical data from the Bootlegger Cove Formation adjacent to the Turnagain Heights Landslide. The ...

Appropriate Material Properties for Advective–Diffusive Solute Flux in Membrane Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A generalized advective–diffusive equation for describing electrolytic solute transport in fine-grained soil (clay) membranes is presented. Clarification is made between the current theory and the widely cited coupled-flow ...
Measured and Estimated Suction Indices for Swelling Potential Classification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: McKeen’s expansive soil classification methodology relies on a parameter referred to as the “total suction-water content index” for describing the slope of the soil–water characteristic curve on a semilog plot. The swelling ...
Piston Core Properties and Disturbance Effects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Laboratory geotechnical data on piston cores from 31 sites on the mid‐Atlantic Upper Continental Slope show the near‐surface sediments vary from normally consolidated to somewhat overconsolidated clayey silts and silty ...
