Thermomechanical Analysis of Fiber–Bentonite-Based Mixtures as Buffer Material in an Engineered Nuclear Barrier
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Buffer/backfill material is an important part of engineered barriers in deep geological repositories of high-level radioactive waste (HLRW). A good buffer material not only possesses good heat conductivity, expansion, and ...
Exploring the Water and Temperature Regimes’ Mechanical Characteristics of a Plain Concrete Pile Composite Foundation under Freeze–Thaw Cycles: A Model Testing Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, through extensive on-site research of the plain concrete composite foundation for the Jiuma Expressway, the study conducted proportional scaling tests. This study focused on the temperature, moisture, pile–soil ...
Salix integra Combined with Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Restore Diesel Contaminated Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Investigation of Thermal Conductivity and Prediction Model of Mucky Silty Clay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The thermal conductivity of soil is an important parameter that determines the geothermal properties of geotechnical engineering structures. In this research, a series of thermal needle tests were conducted to investigate ...
Prediction of the Coefficient of Consolidation of Soil via the Hyperbolic Fitting Method during Piezocone Dissipation Test
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The coefficient of consolidation is an important parameter to evaluate the engineering properties of soil. The current piezocone penetration test (CPTU) method to obtain the coefficient of consolidation is time-consuming ...
