Effect of Active Plastic Fine Fraction on Undrained Behavior of Binary Granular Mixtures
(ASCE, 2022-1-1)The mechanical behavior of binary granular mixtures strongly depends on their initial packing density, stress level, fine content, particle size distribution, mineralogy, and shape. This research aims to investigate the ... -
Approximation of the Time Rate of Consolidation for Hydraulically Placed Fine Coal Refuse Using a Variable Coefficient of Consolidation Method
(ASCE, 2022-1-1)Terzaghi’s consolidation theory assumes strain in soil due to applied overburden pressure is small, and permeability and thus the coefficient of consolidation (Cv) remain constant during consolidation. Although valid for ... -
Performance Evaluation of a Highway Slope on Expansive Soil in Mississippi
(ASCE, 2022-1-1)Slope failure in highway embankments is common in central Mississippi due to the presence of the Yazoo Formation clays that are highly plastic in nature and experience extreme shrink–swell movement with seasonal moisture ... -
Rainfall-Induced Erosion of Biocemented Graded Slopes
(ASCE, 2022-1-1)Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP), a newly green method, was investigated as a possible solution to rainfall-induced erosion of sandy slopes. A series of model slopes prepared with sands of different gradations ... -
