John S. McCartney, Auteur ; Jorge G. Zornberg, Auteur ; Robert H. Swan Jr., Auteur |A database of 534 large-scale direct shear test results was assembled in this study to evaluate the interface shear strength between geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) and geomembranes (GMs). The tests were conducted between 1992 and 2003 by a sing[...]

Khaled Rouissi, Auteur ; Moncef Krarti, Auteur ; John S. McCartney, Auteur |This paper presents a heat transfer model for thermo-active drilled-shaft foundations used for heating and cooling buildings. Specifically, this paper presents a numerical approach to evaluate the unsteady temperature distribution within the gro[...]

Jorge G. Zornberg, Auteur ; John S. McCartney, Auteur |A new centrifuge permeameter was developed with the specific objective of expediting the measurement of the hydraulic characteristics of unsaturated soils. The development, theoretical basis, and typical results associated with using the centrif[...]

John S. McCartney, Auteur ; Jorge G. Zornberg, Auteur |This paper presents the hydraulic characteristics of an unsaturated, compacted clay, including its soil-water retention curve (SWRC) and hydraulic conductivity function (K function), determined using a new centrifuge permeameter developed at the[...]

Majid Ghayoomi, Auteur ; John S. McCartney, Auteur ; Hon-Yim Ko, Auteur |Settlement of soil layers during and after earthquake shaking is a major cause of damage to buildings and geotechnical structures. The available empirical design methods to consider seismically induced settlement focus on sands in dry or water-s[...]

Ali Khosravi, Auteur ; John S. McCartney, Auteur |Experimental studies have observed that the small-strain shear modulus (Gmax) of unsaturated soils measured during hydraulic hysteresis has a greater magnitude during imbibition than during drainage when plotted as a function of matric suction.
