Soil nailing is commonly used for stabilizing cut slopes and retaining structures. The technique is, however, seldom used in stabilizing old loose fill slopes that were not constructed to the current standards. There is a concern that soil-naile[...]

The I-15 Reconstruction Project in Salt Lake City, Utah required rapid embankment construction in an urban environment atop soft lacustrine soils. These soils are compressible, have low shear strength, and require significant time to complete pr[...]

Recent research has outlined that mobilized in situ strength at the reactivation of displacements along a preexisting sliding surface may be slightly greater than laboratory residual strength. Although geotechnical literature explains this diffe[...]

A relatively new method for mechanized maintenance of railroad ballast (stoneblowing) puts a layer of single size stone between the ballast and each tie creating a two-layer gravel support. To get a better understanding of the behavior of this a[...]

Automatic trip hammers have advantages for standard penetration test (SPT) of consistent drop height and low friction loss during hammer fall. These advantages, however, generate high energy transfer ratios (ER), typically about 90%. This effici[...]

Suffusion is the process by which finer soil particles are moved through constrictions between larger soil particles by seepage forces. Soils susceptible to suffusion are described as internally unstable. This technical note describes a method f[...]
