Abstract: The static dielectric constant and relaxation time of two asphalt aggregate mixes commonly used as the bearing and wearing courses of asphalt pavements are measured in the frequency range of 0.1 MHz to 1.5 GHz. The measurement ...

Abstract: The use of complex permittivity and electrical conductivity to detect soil contamination by landfill leachate is discussed in this paper. The electrical conductivity and complex permittivity of a natural clayey soil are ...

Abstract: A site-specific study on stabilizing acid-generating mine tailings from Sudbury Mine using a coal fly ash from Nanticoke Generating Station is presented in this paper. The objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility ...

Abstract: Uncertainty in the consolidation process via the prefabricated vertical drain (PVD), and the effects of uncertainty on the design of PVDs, are investigated in this paper. Analysis results suggest that the coefficient of ...

Abstract: The polarization and conduction of clay-water-electrolyte systems in a low-frequency electric field can be presented in terms of the Dukhin-Shilov double-layer polarization model and a resistor-in-series model. In an ...

Abstract: To facilitate applications of road penetration radar and other nondestructive testing technologies on roads, an apparatus was developed for the measurement of complex permittivity of construction materials. The system ...
