Rubber Meets the Road in Maine
Maine design engineers working on a $42 million highway project, faced several settlement problems in the alignment's soft soil. One of their solutions was to use 500,000...
Grouting Pains (Available in Geoenvironmental Engineering Special Issue)
The article focuses on a new grouting technique for filling holes drilled during site investigation. The holes are grouted as the drill is withdrawn from the hole, instead of filled later....
Permanent Runoff Controls
The Center for Research in Water Resources at the University of Texas, Austin, Texas, conducted tests showing that grassy swales can remove pollutants from highway runoff. Many pollutants...
In Situ Remediation of the Geoenvironment
The progress in the development and implementation of techniques for the remediation of contaminated soil and ground water has been and continues to be rapid. These proceedings focus on...
Seismic Analysis and Design for Soil-Pile-Structure Interactions
Pile foundations are used extensively to support structures in seismic regions around the world. For years, geotechnical engineers have neglected to consider the interaction soil-pile...
Salvaged Sand
Waste foundry sand has been rediscovered as a road construction material now that environmental concerns about its use have been laid to rest. Certain types of waste foundry sand, a by-product...
Final Covers for Solid Waste Landfills and Abandoned Dumps
