Calcium-Based Stabilizer Induced Heave in Oklahoma Sulfate-Bearing Soils (FHWA-OK-11-03 2210)
Cerato, Amy B.; Miller, Gerald A. (2011-7)The addition of lime stabilizers can create problems in soils containing sulfates. In most cases, lime is mixed with expansive soils rendering them non-expansive; however, when a certain amount of sulfate is present naturally ... -
Durability of chemically stabilized aggregate bases
Khoury, Naji N.; Zaman, Musharraf M.; Miller, Gerald A. (Aug-03)A comprehensive laboratory study was undertaken to investigate the effect of durability, namely, freeze-thaw (F-T) and wet-dry (W-D) cycles on raw and stabilized aggregate base. Four commonly used aggregates in Oklahoma, ... -
Evaluation and Field Verification of Strength and Structural Improvement of Chemically Stabilized Subgrade Soil (FHWA-OK-07-09 2195)
Snethen, Donald R.; Miller, Gerald A.; Cerato, Amy B. (2007-7)Often subgrade soils exhibit properties, particularly strength and/or volume change properties that limit their performance as a support element for pavements. Typical problems include shrink-swell, settlement, collapse, ... -
Evaluation of Causes of Transverse and Fatigue Cracking in Flexible Pavements Using Laboratory and Field Testing and PMED Simulation
Ghos, Sagar (2020)Fatigue cracking and transverse cracking are two of the most prevalent distresses in flexible pavements. In this study, probable causes of these distresses were evaluated using field and laboratory testing and simulations ... -
Exploring the Relationship Between Grain Configuration and the Movement Of Capillary-Held Water in Unsaturated Porous Media
Yan, Shang (2019)The air-water interface in porous media has been studied for decades, and is important for understanding the distribution and movement of water, solutes and suspended colloids and nanoparticles in the unsaturated zone. The ... -
IMPACT OF MOISTURE CHANGES IN UNSATURATED SOIL ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS
Hassanikhah, Arash (2016-12-16)The mechanical and hydraulic properties of soil above the groundwater table change due to unsaturated conditions. While common, considering soil to be saturated as a simplifying assumption in the design of many important ... -
INFLUENCE OF HYDRAULIC HYSTERESIS ON THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF UNSATURATED SOILS AND INTERFACES
Khoury, Charbel (2010)Unsaturated soils are commonly widespread around the world, especially at shallow depths from the surface. The mechanical behavior of this near surface soil is influenced by the seasonal variations such as rainfall or ... -
Infrastructure damage due to earthquakes and flooding in the Little River Watershed: a HAZUS investigation
Boldes, Jeremiah (2023-08-04)The Socially Sustainable Solutions for Water, Carbon, and Infrastructure Resilience in Oklahoma (S3OK) is a multidisciplinary research project to identify socially sustainable solutions to “wicked” problems within the State ... -
Interpretation of In Situ Tests as Affected by Soil Suction / Gerald A. Miller, Rodney W. Collins, Kanthasamy K. Muraleetharan, Amy B. Cerato, Roy Doumet.
Miller, Gerald A.; Collins, Rodney W.; Muraleetharan, Kanthasamy K.; Cerato, Amy B.; Doumet, Roy (Oklahoma City, OK : Oklahoma Department of Transportation, 2015., 2015-12)In situ testing of soil with invasive methods such as the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) are increasingly used in geotechnical engineering practice. However, there has been very little work to develop methods for interpreting ... -
Laboratory and field evaluation of soil stabilization using cement kiln dust
Miller, Gerald A.; Zaman, Musharraf M.; Rahman, Jameel; Tan, Norman K. (April, 199)A field and laboratory study was undertaken to evaluate Cement Kiln Dust (CKD) as a soil stabilizer. The perfonnance of CKD from three different sources, Holnam of Ada, Blue Circle Cement of Tulsa, and Lone Star Industries, ... -
Laboratory Characterization of Recycled and Warm Mix Asphalt for Enhanced Pavement Applications
Ghabchi, Rouzbeh (2014)Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is the most widely used paving material in the U.S. Over the past two decades, many transportation agencies, asphalt producers, and pavement construction companies have taken major initiatives to ... -
Prototype reinforced soil embankment for reconstruction of US 62 slope failure in Chickasha, OK
Hatami, Kianoosh; Miller, Gerald A.; Esmaili, Danial (Oklahoma City, OK : Oklahoma Department of Transportation, 2014., 2015-01)One of the main concerns in internal stability of reinforced soil structures constructed with fine-grained or marginal quality soils is the change in shear strength of the soil-reinforcement interface when the soil gravimetric ... -
QUANTIFYING HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY IN MINE DRAINAGE PASSIVE TREATMENT SYSTEM VERTICAL FLOW BIOREACTORS
Page, Bryan J. (2016-12)Heavy industrial mining has occurred in the United States for more than 100 years, and in many cases, has led to large-scale environmental degradation, especially from historical operations where mining occurred prior to ... -
SETTLEMENT BEHAVIOR OF COMPACTED OKLAHOMA SOILS (FHWA-OK 02(03) 2152)
Lim, Yong Yeow; Miller, Gerald A.; Muraleetharan, Kanthasamy K. (2003-2)Numerous highway embankments experience post-construction settlement problems, such as bridge approach settlement that results in the "bump at the end of the bridge." One of the causes may be wetting-induced collapse ... -
The Effects of Soil Suction on Shallow Slope Stability / Gerald A. Miller, Amy B. Cerato, Arash Hassanikhah, Maryam Varsei, Roy Doumet, Celine Bourasset, Rifat Bulut
Miller, Gerald A.; Cerato, Amy B.; Hassanikhah, Arash; Varsei, Maryam; Doumet, Roy; Bourasset, Celine; Bulut, Rifat (Oklahoma City, OK : Oklahoma Department of Transportation, 2015., 2015-12)Research work described in this report was undertaken to improve understanding of desiccation cracking and shallow slope failures in clayey slopes subjected to seasonal variations in weather. Research involved field and ... -
USE OF MSE TECHNOLOGY TO STABILIZE HIGHWAY EMBANKMENTS AND SLOPES IN OKLAHOMA (FHWA-OK-11-04 2214)
Hatami, Kianoosh; Miller, Gerald A.; Esmaili, Danial (2011-3)Departments of transportation across the U.S. are faced with the persistent problem of landslides and slope failures along roads and highways. Repairs and maintenance work associated with these failures cost these agencies ... -
