RISPreliminary Studies of Hydraulic and Mechanical Behavior of Nanoparticle-Based Light Backfill Exposed to Pore Fluid Salinity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Understanding the Effect of Pulp Mill Fly Ash on Strength, Compressibility, and Microstructure of Organic Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A lower shear strength and higher compressibility impose major challenges for construction on organic soils. Cementitious materials have been effectively used in the improvement of the engineering properties of mineral ...
Relationships between Degree of Saturation, Total Suction, and Electrical and Thermal Resistivity of Highly Compacted Bentonite
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bentonite clay is a component of an engineered barrier system that is highly compacted around nuclear waste bundles in deep geological repositories (DGR). The bentonite is subject to both thermal and hydraulic gradients ...
A Novel Application of Bis (2-Hydroxyethyl) Terephthalate to Enhance Sand Bentonite Mixture for Landfills
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Sand-bentonite mixtures (SBM) are usually compacted as clay covers and liners of the landfill. However, unavoidable factors such as heterogeneity in compaction result in variable densities that causes low strength, high ...
Muskeg Soil Stabilization Using the Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation Technique by the Urease Active Bioslurry Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Muskeg soil is widespread in Canada. It covers around 15% of the Canadian landscape. Its problematic nature is attributed to its high compressibility and low shear strength when subjected to loads because of its high initial ...
