Survivability and Durability of a Nonwoven Geotextile
This paper presents the results of a field investigation and laboratory testing program to evaluate the properties of two different polypropylene, thermally-bonded nonwoven geotextiles...
Pull-Out Response of Geotextiles and Geogrids (Synthesis of Available Experimental Data)
During the past 15 years, there has been a considerable growth in the use of various materials to reinforce soils. The rapid development of geosynthetics and their increasing use in soil...
Shallow Foundation on Sand Underlain by Soft Clay with Geotextile Interface
One technique for improving the load-bearing capacity of shallow foundations on soft clay soil is to construct them over a compact granular fill laid over the clay layer. However, the...
Full Scale Foundation Trials on Grid Reinforced Clay
The paper describes the results of full-scale testing of strip footings on an alluvial clay site. Existing theory is briefly discussed but shown to be of little relevance to the consolidation...
Design of Ash Basin Dike across Cove
Embankments built over soft, unstable foundation materials had required that the materials either be removed or reinforced. With the introduction of geotextiles, it is now economically...
Finite Element Analyses of the St. Alban Test Embankments
Finite element analyses were performed of three embankments on sensitive clay that were constructed to failure at St. Alban, Quebec. One of the embankments was reinforced with flat-lying...
Laboratory Study of Geogrid Reinforced Soil Walls
The paper describes the construction and testing of three (3) large-scale geogrid reinforced soil retaining wall models. The models were 3 m high and were built in the RMC Retaining Wall...
Controlled Yielding of the Lateral Boundaries of Soil Retaining Structures
Lateral expansion of conventional or reinforced soil backfills is necessary to establish and maintain the minimum lateral stresses on soil retaining structures. Laboratory studies are...

Recent Progress in Coal Ash Utilization and the Effect of Environmental Issues and Regulations
This paper summarizes for civil engineers several publications that help to specify and use coal combustion by-products in construction and other applications in a technically sound, commercially...
Fly Ash Utilized in Concrete?Technology Update
Fly ash is frequently utilized as a pozzolanic substance in Portland cement concrete. Levels of such utilization, a reflection of current practice/technology, seem to have stabilized at...
Guidelines for Design and Construction of Pozzolanic Stabilized Base Course Mixtures
The American Coal Ash Association (ACAA) has developed a manual of recommended practice which contains guidelines for the design and construction of pozzolanic stabilized base course mixtures...
Low Permeability Liners Incorporating Fly Ash
This paper summarizes the results of a research study undertaken at West Virginia University to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing stabilized fly ash as a low permeability liner material....
Regulatory and Environmental Issues of the Chisman Creek Superfund Site
This paper discusses the regulatory and environmental issues arising from the response to the Record of Decision (ROD) for the Chisman Creek Superfund Site in York County, Virginia. Field...
