Volume change and swelling pressure of expansive clay in the crystalline swelling regime
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A significant amount of research has been carried out to characterize expansive clay behavior from either microstructural or macrostructural perspectives; however, there exists a current gap in our knowledge about the basic ...
Point target interferometry as applied to the characterization of localized deformation features
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Monitoring of ground deformation is a critical component of geotechnical engineering practice. This study investigated the application of synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR), using point target analysis (IPTA) ...
Development of shear wave velocity profiles in the deep sediments of the Mississippi Embayment using surface wave and spectral ratio methods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The deep soils of the Mississippi Embayment in the central United States will have a significant influence on earthquake ground motions generated by the New Madrid Seismic Zone. The seismic properties of these soils, which ...
Methodology for quantifying wetland landscape parameters for highway right of way decisions utilizing GIS
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Wetlands are a type of habitat which forms an interface between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. A growing problem in the state of Missouri and around the nation is the loss of the natural wetlands due to the expansion ...
