Stabilization and Solidification of Fine Incineration Bottom Ash of Municipal Solid Waste Using Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The fine incineration bottom ash (IBA) is usually landfilled due to its high heavy metal content and low strength. In this study, the fine IBA was stabilized/solidified by a green binder, ground granulated blast-furnace ...
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 ...
Estimation of Maximum Annular Pressure during HDD in Noncohesive Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigated the effectiveness of estimating the maximum allowable annular pressure during horizontal directional drilling (HDD) in noncohesive soils by using two theoretical cavity-expansion solutions (small ...
Properties of Two Model Soils Stabilized with Different Blends and Contents of GGBS, MgO, Lime, and PC
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper addresses the use of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and reactive magnesia (MgO) blends for soil stabilization, comparing them with GGBS-lime blends and Portland cement (PC) for enhanced technical ...
Alkali-Activated Ground-Granulated Blast Furnace Slag for Stabilization of Marine Soft Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper investigated the stabilization efficacy of alkali-activated ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) for a marine soft clay, compared with that of portland cement (PC). The influence of activators, including NaOH,
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 ...
General Method for Pullback Force Estimation for Polyethylene Pipes in Horizontal Directional Drilling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Case Study of Pipeline Installation Using a Modified Guided Boring Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Guided Boring Method (GBM), also referred to as Pilot Tube Microtunneling (PTMT), is a widely used trenchless technology for pipeline installation with grade precision. However, PTMT is not applicable in nondisplaceable ...
Estimation of Soil Expansion Force in Static Pipe Bursting: Comparison between Numerical and Analytical Solutions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pull-force estimation is important for the design of static pipe-bursting projects. Among the three components of the pull force, soil expansion force has a significant impact. In this study, a numerical model was employed ...
Predicting Soil Expansion Force during Static Pipe Bursting Using Cavity Expansion Solutions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The prediction of total pull force is critical for static pipe-bursting installation. As a major component of the total pull force, soil expansion prediction is also important; however, there are currently limited methods ...
