Abstract: This paper presents a seismic slope stability assessment study of an inherently heterogeneous hydraulic fill dam in Texas. Extensive cone penetration soundings conducted at the dam site were interpreted to estimate different ...

Abstract: A research study was conducted to accelerate engineering property improvements by using novel silica-based coadditives along with a traditional calcium (Ca)-based stabilizer. Silica-based compounds, crystalline-silica (CS) ...

Abstract: Traditional interpretation and interpolation techniques have been extensively used in conjunction with geotechnical in-situ tests to evaluate subsurface conditions; however, these approaches, when applied at highly variable ...

Abstract: In this research study, the stability of a hydraulic fill dam located in a newly declared seismically hazardous zone in north Texas was evaluated, incorporating the effect of geomaterial variability existing in the dam. ...

Abstract: Design of flexible pavements over fine-grained soils requires determination of subgrade resilient modulus over a wide range of degree of saturation and suction for different soils. A novel experimental setup was developed ...
