The Performance of a Sand Reinforced with Coconut Fibers Through Plate Load Tests on a True Scale Physical Model

September 18, 2018
The use of recycled materials has experienced a growing global interest in the last decades. Products like natural fibers are being studied to replace synthetic fibers in some applications because they are renewable resources that have a lower cost. Fibers can be used as reinforcement for covers of landfill sites, landfilling over soft soils, and evapotranspirat...

Porosity Changes of Compacted Soil Percolated with Acidic Leachate

October 02, 2018

This paper evaluates porosity changes in compacted soil subjected to acidic leachate percolation through different dry unit weights. The porosity of compacted soil is presented in different nominal porosities or dry unit weights (41.9% and 15.5 kN/m3, 43.8% and 15.0 kN/m³, and 45.7% and 14.5 kN/m³) percolated with a sulfuric acid solut...

The Up-Hole Seismic Test Together with the SPT: Description of the System and Method

June 06, 2018
A proper geotechnical site characterization has to identify the geometry of relatively homogeneous zones and define indices, strength and stiffness properties of the soils within these zones. The most widely used in situ test to define the stratigraphical profile and to estimate geotechnical parameters is the Standard Penetration Test (SPT). Although it is widel...

Durability of RAP-Industrial Waste Mixtures Under Severe Climate Conditions

May 16, 2018
The sustainable use of industrial wastes such as coal fly ash and carbide lime is an effective procedure to enhance the long-term performance of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) under extreme freeze-thaw and wet-dry conditions. This study evaluates the impact of lime content (L) and dry unit weight (gd) on the durability and long-term performance of compacted RA...
