Abstract: Sand particle crushing generates coarse fragments with size

Abstract: Experiments were conducted to evaluate the role of mineral composition on the direct simple shear response (i.e., volume change during shear) of uniform sands composed of “strong” quartz grains and “weak” calcareous grains. ...

Abstract: This technical note documents an experimental study conducted to examine the time-dependent mechanical response of specimens composed of sand and granulated tire rubber, loaded in one-dimensional compression. The results ...

Abstract: This paper documents experiments conducted to examine the time-dependent, one-dimensional swelling response of loaded granular packs composed of metal-free tire-derived aggregate (TDA) inundated with organic liquids. The ...

Abstract: This paper documents a novel filtration technology that incorporates low-stiffness filter matrix particles. The application of isotropic stresses leads to the compression of particles and ensuing pore throat size reductions ...

Abstract: Particle migration within porous networks often results in permeability reductions due to clogging. In many field applications, fluids and entrained particles travel radially toward producing wells. The nonhomogeneous ...

Abstract: This paper documents an experimental study conducted to evaluate the performance of two commonly used sediment treatment control products, albeit with contrasting treatment technologies: a fiber roll or wattle (i.e., ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted to investigate the odometric swell behavior of expansive soil specimens mixed independently with two different granular additives: silica sand and granulated tire rubber (GTR). All specimens were ...

Abstract: This paper describes the development and strength characteristics of clay–polymer composites to promote their potential use as fired clay brick substitutes. Each specimen was manufactured by dry pressing a mixture of ...
