Abstract: Results from a series of resonant column tests on two blends of rubber-modified asphalt under varying temperature and pressure conditions are presented. The blends of rubber-modified asphalt tested were samples of Type C, ...

Abstract: Future lunar explorations require a thorough understanding of the geotechnical properties of lunar soils. However, the small amount of lunar soil that was brought back to earth cannot satisfy the needs. A new lunar soil ...

Abstract: The geotechnical properties of Martian soils are critical parameters in predicting and simulating soil behavior with regard to vehicle performance on Mars. In preparation for manned or robotic missions to Mars, surface ...

Abstract: Fine refuse from coal processing is frequently disposed of as slurry in an impoundment supported by an embankment consisting of coarse refuse. Flow failure of coal-waste impoundments and metal-tailings dams under static ...

Abstract: This paper evaluates the lateral performance of a monopile reinforced by a gravel wheel for offshore structures via centrifuge tests and three-dimensional finite-element (FE) modelings. The gravel wheel comprises a ring ...

Abstract: For the success of planned missions to the moon in the near future, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the geotechnical behavior of lunar soil. However, only a limited amount of information is available ...
