A case study describing the experience in modeling and designing the process of construction of the Rio Grande
Breakwater on soft clay deposits is summarized in this paper. Field performance during and after embankment construction was monitored with inclinometers, magnetometers and electrical piezometers providing the necessary information ...
The article presents a study on the influence of exposure conditions on strength and absorption in soil stabilized
with lime and rice husk ash. A soil classified as A-4 and CL, known as Red-Yellow Podzol, a hydrated lime and a
crystal-type burnt rice husk ashes were used throughout the study. The laboratory testing program encomp...
In this paper modification potential of dispersive clay by white natural alum is evaluated. The studied clay is
taken from basin of a constructing dam, called “Mirzakhanloo”, located in Zanjan province, northwest of Iran. Dispersion
potential of soil and its modifiability were evaluated using pinhole, single a...
This paper describes the behaviour of a 10 m high trial embankment built on silt gold mine tailings of Morro do Ouro Dam, Brazil. The dam is the country’s largest tailings dam having 120 m in height and 4 km in length. This trial aimed at investigating tailings strength behaviour, which field experience has already indicated to be better than ...
