Title: ENGINEERED WATER REPELLENCY FOR INFILTRATION CONTROL IN COAL FLY ASH
Author: Feyyisa, Jenberu
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering, Environmental engineering
Description: In 2014 approximately 47% of the 190 million short tons of coal combustion product (CCP) was recycled. As a construction material, coal fly ash (CFA) finds considerable use as a partial replacement for Portland cement, as structural fill, and as a...

Description: This dissertation, stemming from a substantial research endeavor funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (Award #1928813), stands as an essential exploration of Engineered Water Repellency (EWR) in mitigating frost heave. Combining laborato...

Title: 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...
