Abstract: Alternative earthen final covers are being considered throughout North America as cost-effective alternatives to prescriptive covers. Regulatory agencies typically require field testing to demonstrate the equivalency of ...

Abstract: Establishing a strength model for cement-stabilized clayey soils is crucial to the design and construction of cement-reinforced foundation projects. Numerous studies have used the parameters to establish the strength model, ...

Abstract: High accuracy in the simulation of the discrete-element method (DEM) depends on the proper selection of microparameters. In this study, the range of microparameters was determined through sensitivity analysis. Subsequently, ...
