Title: Engineered Water Repellency for Frost Heave Mitigation: Decoupling the Relative Influence Of Matric and Osmotic Suction
Author: Abiodun, Uduebor
Date Created: 2023
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering, Geotechnical engineering, Materials science
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: Evaluation of the lateral response of micropiles via full scale load testing
Author: Babalola, Michael
Date Created: 2011
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering, Geotechnical engineering, Design
Description: Micropiles are a relatively new deep foundation technology in the United States. As an alternative to driven piles or drilled shafts, micropiles can provide substantial support while minimizing cost, environmental impact, and harmful construction ...

Title: Experimental and Computational Study of Performance of Highway Embankments
Author: Hassani, Mehrdad
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering, Geotechnical engineering
Description: Highway embankments require careful selection of the borrow material and construction practices. Most highway agencies in North America specify the soil selection criteria based on gradation or Atterberg limits. Furthermore, current construction p...

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...

Title: LABORATORY EVALUATION OF THE UNCONFINED COMPRESSION STRENGTH OF POLYMERIC FIBER REINFORCED SOILS
Author: Kral, Robert
Date Created: 2014
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering, Soil science, Geotechnical engineering
Description: Geosynthetic fiber reinforced soil can be used to remediate weak, near-surface soils. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact that the geofibers had on the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of various soil types. To distinguish t...

Title: MOISTURE AND HEAVY METAL STABILIZATION FOR COAL COMBUSTION RESIDUALS USING SODIUM POLYACRYLATE
Author: Annamraju, Sai Sahithi
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering, Environmental engineering, Geotechnical engineering
Description: Due to the recent (2015) federal regulations pertaining to disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) from electric utilities, methods to dewater the CCR impoundments, establish structural stability, and mitigate the leaching of heavy metals from...
