Compressibility and Permeability of Carbide Sludge–Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag-Treated Clay Slurry
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Dredged clay slurry is usually regarded as a waste material due to its high water content, high compressibility, and low strength. Treating dredged clay slurry with carbide sludge (CS)–activated ground granulated blastfurnace ...
Stability Charts for Rock Slopes Subjected to Water Drawdown Based on the Modified Nonlinear Hoek-Brown Failure Criterion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Because of the change in hydraulic gradient of a fully or partially submerged rock slope caused by a drop in the external or internal water level, enhanced seepage forces may lead to slope instability and collapse. Based ...
Improved Method for Real-Time Fluence Monitoring in UV Reactors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Based on previously developed monitoring system comprising three microfluorescent silica detectors, this paper proposed an improved real-time fluence monitoring method for running ultraviolet (UV) reactors. Adoption of ...
Suppressing Ettringite-Induced Swelling of Gypseous Soil by Using Magnesia-Activated Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Ettringite usually is formed in lime- and cement-stabilized gypseous soils, resulting in significant swelling upon wetting and thereby causing damage to pavements and foundation systems. To reduce the ettringite formation ...
Laboratory Evaluation of Cement- and Lime-Treated Marginal Greywacke Aggregate
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Seventy-five percent of aggregates are sourced from greywacke on North Island, New Zealand. Some of them are classified as marginal aggregates but need to be used in roads due to the cost of transporting high-quality ...
Numerical Investigation of Mechanisms Underlying Oceanic Internal Gravity Wave Power-Law Spectra
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We consider the power-law spectra of internal gravity waves in a rotating and stratified ocean. Field measurements have shown considerable variability of spectral slopes compared to the high-wavenumber, high-frequency ...
