Enhanced Shrinkage Characterization of Clayey Soils
(2015-11-30)
Surficial slope failure is a common problem experienced by most of the compacted earth dams in Texas and several other southern states in USA as a result of desiccation or shrinkage induced cracking of the surficial soils. ...
Comprehensive neural network forecasting system for ground level ozone in multiple regions
(2015-12-07)
A comprehensive neural network daily maximum 8 hour-ozone forecasting model was developed based on five years of data (2010-2014) collected from 50 monitoring sites from the Dallas Fort Worth, Houston-Galveston-Brazoria, ...
IMPROVING WATER QUALITY FORECASTING USING DATA ASSIMILATION
(2015-12-08)
Population growth increases agricultural, industrial and human activities which threaten the quality of water resources, especially water supply sources such as lakes and reservoirs. In potentially high-impact situations ...
A Unified SWCC-clay Mineralogy Based Framework For Predicting Swell Behavior Of Expansive Soils
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2015)
Expansive soils are spread over different climatic zones around the world with varying mineralogical content and microstructure, making the soil to absorb moisture between their mineral layers and therefore undergo volume ...
THERMO-HYDRO-MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF UNSATURATED CLAYEY SOILS VIA THERMO/SUCTION-CONTROLLED RING SHEAR TESTING
(2015-12-08)
There is a lot of geotechnical infrastructure made of compacted soil, or resting on unsaturated ground, which involves a wide range of deformations. Calculation of foundation settlement, for instance, requires a good ...
