Determining suction compression index of expansive soils based on non-linear suction-volumetric strain relationship
Amer, Omar (2016-12)Expansive soils have always been problematic in many parts of the United States and the world. This is due to the stresses they exert on buildings' foundations, pavements, and other geotechnical structures. In the United ... -
Development of a new tensile stress model for expansive soils
Chen, Lizhou (2015-12)The problems associated with drying shrinkage are worldwide, and cause great damage to highways and buildings constructed on expansive soils. Literature review indicates that the development of shrinkage crack is governed ... -
Measurement of pavement permanent deformation based on 1 mm 3D pavement surface model
Qiu, Shi (2013-12)Measurement of pavement permanent deformation is critical to highway agencies for both pavement design and rehabilitation. Since the AASHO Road Test in the late 1950s and early 1960s, field rut condition is monitored by ... -
Novel system of pavement cracking detection algorithms using 1mm 3D surface data
Zhang, Aonan (2015-12)Pavement cracking is one of the major concerns for pavement design and management. There have been rapid developments of automated pavement cracking detection in recent years. However, none of them has been widely accepted ... -
Process for reducing preliminary engineering costs for multi-sided steel poles
El Gohary, Mohamed A. (2014-05)Preliminary engineering for fabrication of multi-sided steel poles encompasses two efforts: planning to allocate available human and technical resources, and engineering design to deliver the most cost effective proposal. ... -
Soil matric suction and active zone depth in Oklahoma
Yue, Er (2017-05)Soil matric suction is an important parameter in unsaturated soils. The shrink-swell properties of expansive soils is controlled by soil matric suction. Matric suction variations cause volume change in expansive soils, ...
