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...
The byproduct of incinerated biosolids (biosolid ash) was evaluated for land application through laboratory and field testing of leachability and sorption capacity. Field testing involved vacuum lysimeters that were installed to monitor the leacha...
MACKENZIE MALISHER. An Investigation on the Strength and Moisture Density Relationships of Soils Treated with Organo Silanes as a Function of Moisture and Salt Content. (Under the direction of Dr. John Daniels)Organo silanes (OS) are chemical agen...
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...
