Effect of Soil Moisture Evaporation Rate on Dynamic Measurement of Water Retention Curve with High-Capacity Tensiometer
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of the soil moisture evaporation rate on the soil water retention curve (SWRC) of clays obtained using the high-capacity tensiometer (HCT) technique and following the continuous drying ...
Stochastic Assessment of Landslide Influence Zone by Material Point Method and Generalized Geotechnical Random Field Theory
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In landslide analysis, reliable prediction of landslide’s influence zone is significantly difficult due to the inherent heterogeneity of soils and their spatially varying geological properties. In this paper, a probabilistic ...
Thermal Creep and Stress Relaxation of London Clay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of temperature variations on the creep and stress relaxation behavior of clay samples from London Bank Station. The independent and coupled effects of strain rate and temperature on ...
The Mineralogical Composition and Mechanical Characteristics of Selected European Coal Mining Waste Samples and Their Experimental Correlation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Globally, there is a vast amount of coal mining waste (CMW) currently stored in spoil tips and tailing dams, presenting a significant source of potentially recoverable geomaterial for construction and geotechnical applications. ...
Influence of Uncalcined Coal Gangue on the Microstructure and Properties of Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate Cement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a new method of reusing uncalcined coal gangue (UCG) as a mineral admixture in magnesium ammonium phosphate cement (MAPC) blended with fly ash (FA). The effects of UCG on setting time, workability, ...
Modeling Pile Setup in Natural Clay Deposit Considering Soil Anisotropy, Structure, and Creep Effects: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports the results of a numerical investigation of the behavior of a natural soft clay deposit under the installation of a case study pile. The case study problem included installation of an instrumented ...
