Abstract: Abstract This paper introduces a probabilistic framework for evaluating the seismic resilience of embankments on liquefiable soils, addressing key limitations of conventional empirical approaches that tend to underestimate ...

Abstract: Abstract Deep mixing (DM) columns are extensively employed to reinforce soft soil foundations. However, the strength of these columns exhibits significant spatial variability due to inhomogeneities in the mixing process ...

Abstract: Accelerating the dewatering of oil sands tailings is a crucial challenge to the oil sands industry. Fresh tailings (15–2% by weight solids) and mature tailings (3–35% by weight solids) dewater slowly over a period of decades ...

Abstract: Currently, tailings ponds are used to contain oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) and fluid fine tailings (FFT) generated from the Alberta oil sands mining operations. In 216, the government of Alberta introduced a ...

Abstract: Abstract Deep mixing (DM) columns are widely used to enhance soft soil beneath embankments. These columns are subject to vertical compression and horizontal pressure, developing multiple failure mechanisms, including ...
