Sorption and leaching characteristics of heavy metals in artificial soil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objective of this study was to investigate the heavy metal sorption and leaching characteristics of an "artificial soil" formed by blending industrial and municipal by-products and implemented as a beneficial waste ...
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 ...
Function-based condition indexing for guyed communication towers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Construction of the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) two-way radio network was initiated in the 1950's and was motivated primarily by the ...
Predicting macroscale response of unsaturated sands from microscale analysis and simple geotechnical testing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
A large portion, if not the majority, of conditions encountered in geotechnical engineering practice involves unsaturated soil. Practical problems include precipitation-induced slope stability failures, expansive or ...
Tensile strength, shear strength, and effective stress for unsaturated sand
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
It is generally accepted in geotechnical engineering that non-cohesive materials such as sands exhibit no or negligible tensile strength. However, there is significant evidence that interparticle forces arising from capillary ...
