A Method for Designing Finger Drains and Assessing Phreatic Lines for Dams

October 02, 2018
Finger drains are linear drains used to collect and conduct percolated water in embankment dams. They are arranged crosswise into earth dams, either permanently or as a technique to treat clogged filters. Given their easy operation, they are often applied in engineering practice, without the aid of specific dimensioning techniques in many cases. The aim of this ...

A Sole Empirical Correlation Expressing Strength of Fine-Grained Soils - Lime Mixtures

June 27, 2017

This paper advances understanding of the key parameters controlling unconfined compressive strength (qu) of lime stabilized fine-grained soils by considering distinct specimen porosities (η), different lime types and contents and several curing temperatures and time periods. A sole empirical relationsh...

Stabilised Soil Layers Enhancing Performance of Transverse-Loaded Flexible Piles on Lightly Bonded Residual Soils

September 21, 2017

A set of crosswise-loaded flexible piles was tested in binder stabilised top sand layers embedded in lightly bonded residual soil. Slope indicators were used to measure horizontal displacements in free-headed flexible piles during all loading stages. The geometry of the cement stabilised top sand layer surrounding the piles varied from about 2 to 4 time...
