Kim, Kukjoo (2011-10-21)The use of impact rollers has increased for many decades over a wide variety of applications in various parts of the world. Many manufacturers have made claims that impact compaction rollers could have an effect to 1 m or ...
-
Chen, Xingnian (2010-01-16)This research is part of the extension of the SRICOS-EFA method for predicting the maximum scour depth history around the bridge abutment. The basic objective is to establish the equation for predicting the maximum bed ...
-
Chen, Yue (2020-11-25)The damage triggered by shrink-swell soil movements (SSSM) on structures built on top of them continues being a source of problems for the construction industry worldwide that can be measured in millions of dollars annually. ...
-
Montalvo Bartolomei, Axel M (2014-03-05)Meander migration and vertical degradation of river bed are processes that have been studied for years. These two erosion controlled processes consist of the gradual change of the geometry of the river due to the flow of ...
-
Timchenko, Anna (2021-10-25)Slope stability analysis and design are important in mining geotechnical engineering, as open-pits have slopes cut as steep as possible to ensure efficient mining. We must mine the ore while keeping the total waste to a ...
-
Kulkarni, Renu Uday (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)The shear strength behavior of unsaturated soils is a complex phenomenon. The major factors that lead to the complex behavior are grain size, natural alteration in status of moisture and associated capillary potential. The ...
-
Bi, Gang (2015-08-25)The research focuses on a difference between Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidelines and Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) design practices for soil nail walls in high plasticity (i.e., plasticity index ...
-
Park, Namgyu (2009-05-15)Meander migration is a complex and dynamic process of the lateral movement of a river due to erosion on one bank and deposition on the opposite bank. As a result, the channel migrates in a lateral direction, which might ...

Bolduc, Laura Christine (2009-06-02)Scour at a bridge pier is the formation of a hole around the pier due to the erosion of soil by flowing water; this hole in the soil reduces the carrying capacity of the foundation and the pier. Excessive scour can cause ...
-
Sassen, Douglas Spencer (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Over fifty small sinkholes (~1 meter in depth and width) were found in conjunction with structural damage to homes in an area south of Cleveland, TX. The local geology lacks carbonate and evaporite deposits associated ...
-
Shafii, Iman (2018-11-09)The objective of this study was to develop equations correlating the erosion resistance of a soil to its geotechnical properties. Existing erosion tests and erosion correlations are documented. Around 200 erosion tests, ...
-
Wegner, Scott Ashley (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)The characteristics of some shallow faults in the Gulf of Mexico interpreted to be active are poorly understood. A better understanding of these faults will increase our understanding of formerly and presently active ...
-
V Govindasamy, Anand (2010-07-14)Bridge scour is the term which describes the erosion of soil surrounding a bridge foundation due to water. Bridge scour can cause the reduction of the load carrying capacity of bridge foundations, excessive foundation ...
-
Bahmani Shoorijeh, Mostafa (2020-12-01)Erosion is responsible for a tremendous economic loss in different parts of the world, particularly the US annually. Many dams in the world and the US are earth dams, which are susceptible to internal erosion due to their ...
-
Shidlovskaya, Anna (2021-10-18)The objective of this research was to improve existing knowledge on soil erosion testing, modelling, classification, mitigation, and prediction of natural and improved soils for dam and levee engineering. An improved testing ...
-
Abdelmalak, Remon Melek (2009-05-15)Problems associated with shrink-swell soils are well known geotechnical problems that have been studied and researched by many geotechnical researchers for many decades. Potentially shrink-swell soils can be found almost ...
-
Wang, Jun (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)A method called SRICOS-EFA is presented in this dissertation for scour prediction. The method is based on the calculation of two basic parameters: the maximum depth of scour and the initial rate of scour. The maximum depth ...
-
Goudarzi, Anahita (2019-04-09)For the last 50 years, the use of reinforced soil systems has increased significantly. As such it is important to gain an in-depth understanding of the soil-reinforcement interface properties for designing and simulating ...
-
Stanford, Charles Edward (2017-07-21)From its discovery in 1921, the Odessa Meteorite Crater has interested researchers and mining companies who had initially hoped to locate a buried mass of meteoric iron. To find the impactor, a major geologic study of the ...
