Abstract: The deformation characteristics of artificially cemented calcareous soil subjected to undrained cyclic triaxial loading are investigated at different confining pressure and cyclic stress levels. The influence of cementation ...

Abstract: The mechanism controlling the cyclic shear strength of cemented calcareous soils was investigated based on the results obtained from monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests on two different types of calcareous soil. Undrained ...

Abstract: The governing conservation equation for the transport of noncohesive suspended sediment in erodible channels is recognized as a stochastic partial differential equation due to the uncertainties in the parameters, and a ...

Abstract: A new approach to the life assessment for linear bearings using three-parameter Weibull distribution is discussed and theoretical basic dynamic load ratings are calculated for linear motion ball ...

Abstract: Based on two models of material removal in ultrasonic machining, developed in an earlier work, conditions for optimum abrasive life for the objective functions of minimum cost per unit volume ...

Abstract: This paper presents, by way of comparison, the effect of fly ash on the volume change of two different types of clay, one a highly plastic expansive clay and the other a nonexpansive clay, also of high plasticity. Expansive ...

Abstract: This paper presents heave behavior of an expansive clay reinforced with geopiles, which are vertical cylindrical cells made of geogrid and filled with geomaterials. When a geopile is installed vertically in an expansive ...

Abstract: The behavior of two calcareous soils—Goodwyn (GW) and Ledge Point (LP)—is studied through a series of monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests. These two soils are selected because they represent two extreme formation conditions ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of the relationship between the degree of saturation and the matric suction head at static equilibrium and during dynamic flow of water using a Buchner funnel and a fully instrumented two-dimensional ...

Abstract: This note presents a study of the efficacy of fly ash as an additive in improving the engineering characteristics of expansive soils. An experimental program has evaluated the effect of the fly ash content on the free swell ...
