Abstract: A number of currently employed mathematical formulations used in modeling one‐dimensional quiescent consolidation of phosphatic waste clay ponds are reviewed. It is shown theoretically, as well as through an example, that ...

Abstract: A new adhesive strength test (AST) was developed to determine the adhesive strength of joint sealant. A series of sealant thicknesses, displacement rates, and curing times was tested to determine proper AST testing parameters ...

Abstract: With increased urbanization, deep foundation (bridges, signage, walls, etc.) selection is moving toward the minimization of disturbance and installation time, as well as addressing quality control and assurance issues. ...

Abstract: Highway storm water runoff represents a significant source of dissolved copper to surface waters. It is well-established that even low concentrations of dissolved copper can be toxic to many aquatic organisms. In the Pacific ...

Abstract: In the case of a mixed Spatial and Material description of Large-Deformation Consolidation, it is shown that if the geometry is updated through an expression for the velocity of solids, then the complete Lagrangian description ...

Abstract: This paper describes the development of a portable dynamic energy calibrator (PDEC) for mechanical Proctor compaction machines along with an analysis of system variance on a silty sand’s (A-2-4) dry unit weights. The PDEC ...

Abstract: During the phosphate beneficiation process, substantial quantities of waste clays are produced that are typically disposed of in large impoundment areas. Due to the low permeability and self‐weight of these clay slurries, ...

Abstract: As a result of recent changes in the requirements involving hurricane extreme events (e.g., wind velocities), the Florida Department of Transportation has moved away from cable-stayed signs, signals, and lights systems to ...

Abstract: Fatigue failure of cantilever (mast arm) supports for traffic signs and signals due to wind-induced vibrations has occurred in several states. A preferred method of reducing and perhaps eliminating these failures is to ...

Abstract: The sediment erosion rate flume (SERF) is used to evaluate various methods to estimate shear stresses in a flume-style erosion rate testing device. Results show that direct shear stress measurements most closely correspond ...
