Abstract: Three testing methods for predicting the durability of cement-stabilized soils—the tube suction (TS), 7-day unconfined compression strength (UCS), and wetting–drying durability tests—were tested and compared for their ...

Abstract: Blended calcium sulfate (BCS), a by-product gypsum blended with lime or limestone, has been used as a base course material on some of Louisiana’s highways. Although BCS has high strength in dry conditions, its poor water ...

Abstract: Blended calcium sulfate (BCS), an industrial by-product from hydrofluoric acid, was successfully stabilized with 120 grade, ground, granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) in a laboratory. A full-scale field testing section ...

Abstract: The use of recycled materials in pavement engineering has a great potential to benefit our society in terms of reducing demands on natural pavement materials, reducing environmental problems, and conserving energy. However, ...

Abstract: This paper highlights the mechanism of slope surface failure that occurs on highway embankments with cohesive soils. Based on systematic instrumentation in the field, the major reason for such surface failures is ascribed ...

Abstract: Geosynthetics have increasingly been used to reinforce many earth structures and are now a well-accepted means to improve engineering properties of various types of soil. However, most previous studies and applications of ...

Abstract: To facilitate the use of recycled materials in pavement construction, a mechanistic-based approach is required to better characterize pavement base materials. This paper demonstrates the application of the shakedown theory ...
