Abstract: The paper presents and analyzes results from nine constant rate of strain (CRS) consolidation tests on resedimented Boston blue clay (BBC) using a specially instrumented, computer-automated hydraulic consolidation device. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a case study on embankment dam seepage problems encountered at one site over the last 30 years and various remediation efforts. The Hodges Village Dam in Oxford, Mass. is part of an extensive flood ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new approach that allows soil nailed walls to be analyzed using a trial wedge method. Most soil nailed wall analysis methods are rooted in traditional slope stability solutions with curvilinear or ...

Abstract: This paper presents a rational approach for evaluating a tractor dozer's capability to excavate a given soil type. A number of empirical charts exist for equipment selection, and a complex formulation based on soil mechanics ...

Abstract: While improvements in equipment and sampling methods have enabled collection of better quality samples of soft clays for more reliable engineering design and performance prediction, current sample quality assessment methods ...

Abstract: The paper describes results from 25

Abstract: This paper describes the development and validation of a one-dimensional, large-strain consolidation-coupled contaminant transport model. The RCM-XPORT2 model uses the CS2 large-strain consolidation approach coupled with ...
