Abstract: Creep tests were conducted on a fine‐grained frozen soil at different salinities ranging from 0 to 20 ppt (parts per thousand), at temperatures between −5°C and −17°C and at two total water contents of around 34% and 52%. ...

Abstract: Constant strain‐rate and creep tests were conducted in uniaxial compression on saturated samples of six fine‐grained frozen soils at temperatures between

Abstract: A simple method to optimize the level of cement replacement by fly ash in cement—fly‐ash mortar and concrete is proposed. The method is based on flow‐table tests. In this test, for any specific level of flow a decrease in ...

Abstract: The main objective of this investigation was to understand the strength development of clays below fusion or vitrification temperatures of 900°C. The other objective was to establish threshold temperatures to produce a ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into usage of Fenton’s reagent (a mixture of ferrous salts and hydrogen peroxide) to remediate diesel-impacted soils. A number of process variables such as ...

Abstract: Sensitive soils, in general, are prone to mechanical disturbances while sampling, handling, and testing. This necessitates the prediction of true field behavior. The compressibility response of such soils is typical of ...
