Abstract: Oil‐shale solid wastes are evaluated for use as soil stabilizers. A laboratory study consisted of the following tests on compacted samples of soil treated with water and spent oil shale: unconfined compressive strength, ...

Abstract: Principles of constructability are applied to the planning, design, and construction of drilled‐shaft foundations. It is shown that the keys to drilled‐shaft constructability are an appropriate site investigation, the ...

Abstract: An experimental program consisting of resilient modulus and creep‐rebound testing was conducted to determine the effects of aggregate top size on the stiffness and resistance to permanent deformation of bituminous concrete ...

Abstract: An experimental study of the effects of repeated axial loading on drained uplift capacity of drilled shafts in granular soil is described. The mechanisms that cause changes in drilled shaft side resistance are identified ...

Abstract: A landslide stabilization system using tiered soil nail walls and a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall was instrumented and monitored to evaluate overall performance and facilitate comparisons between design assumptions ...

Abstract: A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of creating low-permeability waste containment barriers using soil treated with bacteria to produce a plugging biofilm. The effects of exopolysaccharide-producing ...

Abstract: The effects of stochastic hydraulic conductivity on the slope stability of an embankment dam are investigated using a combination of random field simulation, seepage analysis, and slope stability analysis. The hydraulic ...
