Abstract: This research paper presents the results and analysis obtained via the evaluation of calcium nitrate as an effective stabilizer to alter the thermal properties as well as improve the compressive strength of frost-susceptible ...

Abstract: Lightweight fill materials are being increasingly used as a construction material for enhanced construction operations featuring construction on soft ground, in cold regions, and in earthen structures and above buried ...

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: 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 ...
