Abstract: The paper evaluates the destructuration and creep properties of soft sensitive Perniö clay during one-dimensional consolidation. Incremental loading oedometer tests presented herein were part of an extensive testing program ...

Abstract: Accurate prediction models for road structure deterioration increase the cost-effectiveness of road construction and the scheduling rehabilitation and maintenance of road structures. In this paper, a method to detect the ...

Abstract: Acid/alkali contamination of expansive soils, which has been probed in recent years, gives rise to unexpected structural failure when exposed. However, a systematic research aiming at evaluating volumetric behavior of ...

Abstract: Geothermal energy pile foundations are sustainable, cost-effective alternative energy systems for heating and cooling needs of buildings. This paper presents the thermal modeling of two different configurations of energy ...
