Durability of cementitiously stabilized aggregate bases for pavement application.
(2005)
Cementitious stabilization has been extensively used to improve the performance of pavement materials. In the past, emphasis has been placed on observing the macromanifestation of stabilized pavement materials, but to the ...
A framework-based finite element approach for solving large deformation problems in multi-phase porous media.
(2005)
The performance of the uniform gradient element formulation is studied by simulating settlement of a footing and dynamic behavior of a saturated clay embankment and a level ground. Significant hourglassing is seen for the ...
Algorithmic improvements and analyses of the generalized wave continuity equation based model, ADCIRC.
(2005)
Second, nearly all GWC-based models utilize a velocity-based, non-conservative momentum equation (NCM) to obtain the depth-averaged velocity profile. It has been hypothesized that the conservative momentum equation (CM) ...
Development and analysis of algorithmic improvements for the ADCIRC hydrodynamic model.
(2005)
This work addresses enhancements to the popular shallow water model, ADCIRC, ADvanced three-dimensional CIRCulation model. The shallow water equations (SWE) are based on conservation of mass and momentum and can be used ...
Testing and modeling of unsaturated interfaces.
(2005)
A conventional fully automated direct shear test device was modified to achieve the objectives of this study. The newly developed device, called the Unsaturated Interface Direct Shear Apparatus (UIDSA), was equipped for ...
Pressuremeter and cone penetrometer testing in a calibration chamber with unsaturated Minco Silt.
(2005)
The focus of this study is to investigate the influence of matric suction (&psgr; ) on PMT and CPT results by conducting miniature pressuremeter (MPMT) and miniature cone penetrometer (MCPT) testing in a calibration chamber ...
