A one-day workshop was convened to address obstacles to success of American women
faculty in Geotechnical Engineering. The workshop, sponsored by the National Science
Foundation (NSF), was held in October 2003, in ...
Laboratory testing for foundation design offers advantages over field-testing, especially, where existing installations preclude easy accessibility. Advantages include a homogeneous soil, ability to place instrumentation ...
A three-tiered, enterprise, GIS architecture offers a robust, efficient, and secure platform to potentially revolutionize disaster management by enabling support of all of the phases of governmental activity that must occur ...
The Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) technique, used
to determine shear wave velocity (Vs) and hence small strain stiffness (Gmax), has
recently generated considerable interest in the geophysics community. ...
Till date, virtually all known drinking water processing systems generate an enormous amount of residual sludge, and what else to do with this rapidly increasing 'waste' stream in an economic and environmentally sustainable ...
Geotechnical characteristics of Dublin Boulder Clay (DBC) based on detailed site
investigation and site experience from some recent large projects in Dublin are presented.
This paper attempts to synthesise available ...
Guidance is provided for geotechnical engineers designing civil engineering works in silty
soils. A detailed characterisation of two estuarine silt sites in Ireland is performed and the soil
properties are linked to their ...
A comparative study of the NGI Direct Simple Shear Test (DSST) and the Mikasa Direct Shear Test (DST) is reported. Samples from Norwegian Drammen clay and Japanese Ariake clay were subjected to both types of test. An ...
In this study, alum sludge was introduced into co-conditioning and dewatering with an anaerobic digested activated sludge to examine the role of the alum sludge in improving the dewaterbility of the mixed sludge and also ...
