Abstract: A numerical model has been developed to predict the air losses from tunnel face and perimeter walls in compressed air tunneling. The model can also predict the zone of ground influenced by air flow from the face and walls ...

Abstract: To investigate the stress–strain behavior of frozen soils, a program of triaxial compression tests was designed and carried out on samples of unfrozen and frozen cohesive (CL) and granular (SP) soils and pure ice. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development and validation of a numerical model for simulation of the flow of water and air and contaminant transport through unsaturated soils. The governing differential equations include two mass ...

Abstract: An investigation into the behavior of a contaminated clay soil and its treatment was carried out through a program of experimental tests. The contaminated soil samples were prepared with different percentages (3, 6, and ...

Abstract: A mixture of soil-cement and acrylic resin is used to improve the engineering properties of the soil for construction. This paper presents the results of an investigation into the mechanical behavior of soil-cement mixtures ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation into the remediation of an anthracene-contaminated clay soil through experimental tests. Samples were prepared of uncontaminated and contaminated soil-cement with 20 and 30% cement. ...

Abstract: In this paper the effect of hysteresis on the critical state behavior of unsaturated soils is investigated through conducting a number of controlled suction triaxial tests on samples of an unsaturated silty soil. The slurry ...

Abstract: An investigation into the behavior of a contaminated clay soil and its treatment was carried out through a program of experimental tests. The contaminated soil samples were prepared with different percentages (3, 6, and ...
