Geotechnical Controls on Organo-Silane Modification of Soils and Coal Combustion Fly Ash
Author
Keatts, Matthew
Date Created
2014
Subjects--Topical
Civil engineering, Geotechnical engineering
Description
Organo-silane (OS) surface modification works by chemically altering the surface of silica based materials and rendering them hydrophobic (waterproof). Limited research is present in the literature addressing the use of OS modified soils as an inf...
