A comparison of soil stabilization additives to determine parameters affecting soil strength values
Hussey, Nicholas Lawrence (2010) -
Calibration of a Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence Device to Detect Chemical Stabilizers in Soil Subgrades
Van Hemelryck, Theo (2018-12)Chemically stabilized subgrades increase the overall quality of pavements compared to non-treated subgrades. Currently, there is no efficient way to detect chemical stabilizers (CS) in pavement subgrades. Generally, only ... -
Development of a Verified Non-Linear Winkler Model for the Seismic Analysis of Piles in Improved Ground
Sivakumaran, Sumangali (2019-12-13)Several ground improvement techniques that are proven to be effective and economical solutions to increase the lateral stiffness and strength of weak soils around piles often result in unwarranted conservative volumes of ... -
Identifying latent diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) indicators for multimodal transportation systems
Rista, Fariha (2023-12-15)Traditional transportation policies unfairly affect marginalized travelers and under-represented groups, limiting their access to social and economic opportunities and contributing to residential segregation. Even though ... -
Influence of Compaction and Quality Control on the Performance of GRS-IBS Bridge Abutments
Boutin, Jérôme (2020-05)GRS-IBS is a type of bridge abutment that has become more widespread in local and county roads across the United States due to its demonstrated advantages including expedited construction at reduced costs and prevention ... -
PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND ANALYSIS OF GEOSYNTHETIC REINFORCED SOIL INTEGRATED BRIDGE SYSTEMS (GRS-IBS) IN OKLAHOMA
PENA, LUIS A (2017-05-12)In 2013, the University of Oklahoma, together with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Oklahoma Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), started a feasibility study of GRS-IBS, which had been promoted by the ... -
Seismic Performance of Grouped Helical Piles in Pinned and Fixed Connections
Allred, Shawn (2018)Helical piles have yet to be nationally considered an acceptable foundation for structures in areas of high seismic activity. This remains despite evidence of helical pile survival stories from recent earthquakes where ... -
Shake table testing of scaled rammed earth models
Diaz, Carmen Marlene (2008)The ancient method of rammed earth construction has been used in various parts of the globe, including Central and South America, which experience high seismic activity. Although some studies have been done on rammed earth, ... -
Study On The Use Of Facemask Fibers For Soil Reinforcement
Chaves Camargo, Javier Alejandro (2023-12-15)This study investigated the potential application of facemask materials as a sustainable solution for soil reinforcement, with a focus on assessing the influence of facemask fiber attributes on the geotechnical properties ... -
UNDERSTANDING THE SEISMIC RESPONSE OF SINGLE HELICAL PILES IN DRY SANDS USING A LARGE-SCALE SHAKE TABLE TEST
Vargas Castilla, Tatiana Melissa (2017-05)Helical piles are deep foundations composed by a steel shaft and single or multiple helical plates welded at their tip or throughout their lead section, respectively, which allows them to be screwed into the ground during ... -
The Use of Recycled Material Backfills to Mitigate the Effects of Expansive Soils on Subterranean Structures
Jacoby, Jenna (2016)The extreme annual weather patterns of the Midwest United States have created a demand for basements as emergency shelters in both residential and commercial structures. However, with the majority of the Midwest experiencing ... -
Validation of Portable Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence (PHXRF) on Stabilized Subgrade Projects for Construction Quality Control and Geotechnical Forensic Investigations
Ferraro, Nathan (2016-05-13)Problematic subgrade soils are often strengthened through pozzolanic reactions and/or cementing using various types of chemical stabilizers, such as lime, cement kiln dust, and fly ash. The amount of stabilizer needed for ...
