Numerical Study and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Calibration for Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls
… soil walls under self-weight and permanent surcharge loading conditions. In order to meet this objective it was necessary to generate large databases of measured load and resistance data from many sources and in some cases to propose new design models that improve the accuracy of underlying …

Developing a system to measure rheology of conditioned soil for soft-ground TBM tunneling
… with the goal of finding the possible impact of surcharge loading on clay clogging potential using propeller torque as an indicator. The results show high variability in torque with respect to different surcharge loading. Due to the torque limit of the rheometer, limited testing of the clay at …

Electrokinetic Dewatering of Oil Sands Tailings
Oil sands tailings are the final product of oil sands processing and in the form of slurry with very low solid content. After sedimentation, due to a low hydraulic conductivity of the tailings, both dewatering and consolidating the tailings are difficult. Since electrokinetic (EK) is an effective …
