Geotechnical Investigation of Uranium Tailings
… purpose of this research was to understand the geotechnical behaviour (index properties, segregation, dewatering) of uranium tailings under field and laboratory conditions. The historical data of tailings characteristics in the Deilmann Tailings Management Facility (DTMF) at Key Lake, …

Geotechnical behavior of shell foundations
The geotechnical behavior of shell foundations was investigated experimentally, numerically, and theoretically. Experimental investigation was carried out on nine prototype foundation models in loose, medium, and dense sands. Experimental set-up was organized and instrumented to perform the testing …

Geotechnical investigation of Montrose wetland site
… purpose of this investigation is to obtain the geotechnical characteristics of the site and to aid in the creation of a proposed engineered wetland at Montrose, West Virginia. The tests performed in the laboratory to obtain the soil properties were: water content, Atterberg limits (liquid and …

Image-Based Geotechnical Constitutive Model Parameter Calibration
… constitutive models. In this thesis, image-based geotechnical constitutive model parameter calibration has been experimentally trialled for realistic soil behaviour. To target strain-softening behaviour, episodic cyclic T-bar penetration testing was selected as a suitable boundary value problem as …

Reliability of geotechnical systems considering geological anomaly
A methodology to evaluate the reliability of geotechnical systems considering the presence of geological anomalies is developed. The proposed methodology consists of three major tasks: (i) modeling of the anomaly uncertainties and developing subsequent methods to assess their statistics, (ii) …

Geotechnical Problems with Pyritic Rock and Soil
… geochemistry, environmental engineering, and geotechnical engineering. While pyrite problems may be well known in their respective disciplines, there has been to date relatively little cross-disciplinary communication regarding problems with pyritic geomaterials. Thus, there is a need to …

Facultative Bioreactor Landfill: An Environmental and Geotechnical Study
… landfill. Apart from environmental restrictions, geotechnical constraints are also imposed on new sanitary landfills. The scarcity of new potential disposal areas imposes higher and higher landfills, in order to utilize the maximum capacity ofthose areas. In this context, the knowledge of the …

Multistation Methods for Geotechnical Characterization using Surface Waves
… based on surface wave propagation applied to geotechnical engineering purposes. This topic has gained much interest in the last decade because of the appealing possibilities given by non-invasive methods, which are at once very flexible and cost effective. An overview of the properties of …

Geotechnical Characterisation of Pumiceous Soils for Liquefaction Assessment
… of their properties problematic. When performing geotechnical assessments of these deposits, questions have been asked as to whether existing empirical correlations, derived primarily from normal (hard-grained) soils, would be applicable for the crushable pumiceous soils. Such a lack of guidance …

Geotechnical Properties of Peat and Related Engineering Problems
… the results of this research, complete sets of geotechnical properties of Middleton and James Bay peats were obtained. Such results will provide an idea about the order of magnitude of geotechnical parameters as well as the behavior of these parameters under changing conditions and with time. …

Geotechnical centrifuge model testing for pile foundation re-use
In recent years development is at premium in many European cities. With life cycles of 25-30 years of buildings in financial cities and about 40 years in regional centres the ground is becoming more and more congested with redundant foundations. As the underground development of services and …
