Abstract: The thermal conductivity of soil is an important parameter that determines the geothermal properties of geotechnical engineering structures. In this research, a series of thermal needle tests were conducted to investigate ...

Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of lime stabilization with precompaction mellowing in stabilizing six different high-sulfate soils. Three mellowing times, 0, 3, and 7 days were studied. ...

Abstract: Sulfate heaving often occurs when soils rich with sulfates are treated with calcium-based stabilizers such as lime and cement materials. This heaving has inflicted severe distress on several transportation infrastructure ...

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 ...

Abstract: The coefficient of consolidation is an important parameter to evaluate the engineering properties of soil. The current piezocone penetration test (CPTU) method to obtain the coefficient of consolidation is time-consuming ...
