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 investigation of Montrose wetland site
The 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 …

Slope Stability of the Hunter Creek Formation: A Geotechnical Investigation Near Mogul, Nevada
The Hunter Creek sandstone near Mogul, Nevada, is a Neogene sedimentary unit in the Verdi basin consisting of fluvial, deltaic, and lacustrine facies. Numerous slope failures have occurred in the unit mostly along streams, canals, and the Truckee River. Field mapping showed that most of the slope …

Implications from a geotechnical investigation of liquefaction phenomena associated with seismic events in the Charleston, SC area
… was common in this event. Recent geologic investigations in the Charleston area have found evidence for the repeated liquefaction of sandy soils in the Charleston area due to recurring large seismic events. Although this information has led to an improved understanding of seismicity in the …

Estudo da ruptura de fundo de uma escavação escorada
… excavation subject to bottom heave. Results of a geotechnical investigation including in situ and laboratory tests are presented. Seepage analyses under transient and steady conditions are performed to examine the effects of water flow on the factor of safety against bottom heave. The study …

Aspectos geotécnicos da construção do aterro do projeto Rio - Setor Pinheiros
… of the Projeto Rio - Setor Pinheiros. All the geotechnical investigation programs planned and carried out were interpreted in the sense of defining fundamental soil parameters to be used in the studying of enbankment behaviour. It was used, as usual, the Terzaghi’s Theory of Consolidation to …

Characterization of soft soil using multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW) and electrical resistivity method (ERM)
… time efficient, economic and larger volume of investigation had increased the demand of using geophysical methods for geotechnical investigation. The research concentrates on the determination of soft soil shear-wave velocity (Vs) profile using the multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW) …

Detection of expansive soils using remote sensing in Brits North-West Province South Africa
… methods of mapping expansive soils and geotechnical investigation. Notwithstanding the significance of remote sensing techniques and their applications in mapping expansive soils, research in this field is at its infancy in South Africa. The purpose of this study is to map expansive …

Integrity Assessment Of Earthen Dams And Levees Using Cross-Plot Analysis Of Seismic Refraction And Electrical Resistivity Tomograms
… of true compromised zones requires an invasive geotechnical investigation, such as drilling. To identify anomalies that are associated with true compromised zones, multiple types of geophysical surveys are commonly conducted. Although the use of multiple geophysical methods and qualitative …

Cone Penetration Testing and Hydrogeological Monitoring of a Retrogressive Landslide in Champlain Sea Clay
Champlain Sea Clay (also known as Leda Clay) is a sensitive marine clay that was deposited within the limits of the Champlain Sea transgression during the final retreat of the Laurentide ice sheet. Upon isostatic rebound, the watersheds incised deep river valleys throughout the Ottawa region. These …

Deep ocean clay crusts: behaviour and biological origin
… strengths by 2m depth. This thesis presents an investigation into the behaviour and origin of these crusts. Mini ball-penetrometer tests on natural cores confirm the crustal strength, and indicate a sensitivity of 3 within the crust. However, pipeline interface tests using the Cam-shear device …

Evaluation of strata conditions and performance of support systems of the Emerald Shaft Gold Mine in Gauteng Province of South Africa
… causes disturbances in the rock mass, leading to geotechnical uncertainty and increased risk of fall of ground or backbreak. The incompetency of the rock mass, high tensile fractures, and concentration of horizontal virgin and mining-induced stresses pose significant threats to both safety and …
