  • Consolidation characteristics of sand-clay mixtures

    Creator:
    Anderson, Donald G. (Donald Gordon)
    Abstract:
    Combinations of cohesive and cohesionless soils are often encountered when evaluating the engineering properties of soils. The stress-volume characteristics of the mixed soil are found to vary according to the proportion of each component. If the cohesive soil composes more than a certain fraction of the material, the magnitude of...

  • The effect of pulverization on a lime stabilized clay soil

    Creator:
    Dito, Edward Leonard
    Abstract:
    The objectives of this investigation were to determine the effect of pulverization on the strength, durability and swell characteristics of a lime stabilized clay soil. Samples were prepared with three different gradations which represented the pulverization of the soil. Maximum clay lump sizes of 3/4", 1/2" and passing #4 sieve...

  • Nitrate and pesticide transport under pear production in clay and sandy soil

    Creator:
    Cao, Weidong
    Abstract:
    Groundwater contamination on irrigated land is of concern in this nation and around the world. In order to reduce the potential of groundwater contamination by agricultural practices such as irrigation, fertilizer and pesticide application, vadose-zone monitoring and sampling are needed. The main objective of this study was to evaluate impacts...

  • Evaluating dairy waste management systems ̓influence on fecal coliform concentration in runoff

    Creator:
    Grismer, Mark Edward
    Abstract:
    This paper examines the environmental factors influencing the die-off and transport of fecal coliform bacteria present in wastes applied to the land surface. These factors are examined specifically for dairy waste management systems and the net effect each system has on runoff water quality. A model is developed that considers...

  • A determination of ultimate pile capacity in clayey silt

    Creator:
    Thompson, Duane Melvin
    Abstract:
    Predetermining the ultimate capacity of piles driven into purely cohesive soils and purely cohesionless soils involves, respectively, the consideration of soil shear strength in a completely undrained and a completely drained condition. For the intermediate cases concerning soils that possess both cohesion and internal friction (silts, clayey silts, sandy clays,...

  • Penetration resistance predictions for driven piling

    Creator:
    Hansen, Lawrence A.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a method of predicting penetration resistance for driven piles, using known driving records for driving the same type piling in similar subsurface conditions. As known driving records are not always available to the analyst, a method was also investigated using soil data only. The analytical tools employed...

  • Dynamic properties of naturally frozen ice

    Creator:
    Hammer, Theodore A.
    Abstract:
    In recognition of the need to determine dynamic properties of naturally frozen materials, a research project was conducted to measure the dynamic properties (dynamic moduli and damping ratio) of naturally frozen wedge ice samples obtained from the Fairbanks, Alaska area. Cyclic triaxial and resonant column test systems were employed to...
