RISNew Correlation Equations for Compression Index of Remolded Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Compressibility of a soil mass is among the most important geotechnical properties that is widely used during the design of geotechnical structures. Various regression equations have been proposed by numerous researchers ...
Reduction in Fully Softened Shear Strength of Natural Clays with NaCl Leaching and Its Effect on Slope Stability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Landslides and slope failures in natural clay-rich materials are frequently observed in coastal areas and other areas where these materials were deposited in a saline water environment. High sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration ...
Evaluation of Collocated Measurements of Radar Reflectivity and Particle Sizes in Ice Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: easured 94-GHz reflectivity in midlevel, stratiform ice clouds was compared with reflectivity calculated from size distributions determined with a particle imaging probe. The radar and the particle probe were carried on ...
A New Method for the Correlation of Residual Shear Strength of the Soil with Mineralogical Composition
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mineralogical composition, measured with x-ray diffraction for soil specimens collected from more than 80 natural disaster areas, show smectite, kaolinite, mica, feldspar, and quartz as major constituent minerals. Based ...
Objective Oriented Multistage Ring Shear Test for Shear Strength of Landslide Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ring shear tests were conducted on five samples of different nature with a modified Imperial College type ring shear machine. The three different testing methods used, (1) individual sample testing for each normal stress, ...
Pilot Dynamics Coupled Finite Volume Analysis of Main Flow Transients Through a Pneumatic Pressure Regulating Valve
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The environment management system of an aircraft requires regulated air at nearly constant temperature and pressure, despite their wide variations at the system inlet. A pressure regulation valve is an important part of ...
The Impact of Ground-Based Glaciogenic Seeding on Orographic Clouds and Precipitation: A Multisensor Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: case study is presented from the 2012 AgI Seeding Cloud Impact Investigation, an experiment conducted over the Sierra Madre in southern Wyoming to study the impact of ground-based glaciogenic seeding on precipitation. In ...
Variation in Residual Shear Strength of the Soil with the Salinity of Pore Fluid
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Slope stabilization procedures for seven landslides in the Niigata Prefecture of Japan had provided an excellent and rare opportunity to examine the composition of ground water, and residual shear strength of the sliding ...
Dynamic Properties of Lightweight Cellular Concrete for Geotechnical Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lightweight cellular concrete (LCC) materials have been used in various civil engineering applications for several decades. In this study, the dynamic behavior of LCC materials was evaluated for possible geotechnical ...
