Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic bearing capacity and settlements of foundations
TL;DR: In this article, a Coulomb-type mechanism including inertial forces in the soil and on the footing is used to estimate the seismic bearing capacity of a shallow foundation in the case of moderate earthquakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A practical approach to grain shape quantification
Melissa Cox,Muniram Budhu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a light microscopy approach was used to quantify grain shape and to identify the key shape parameters that can distinguish grains, including symmetry, roundness, Compactness, Sphericity, Aspect Ratio and ModRatio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic Fluidization of Soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the free field limit analysis of a homogeneous layer of dry soil excited by uniform horizontal and vertical acceleration components leads to simple equations describing various stages of inertial shear fluidization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic bearing capacity of soils
Muniram Budhu,Awad A. Al-Karni +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the seismic bearing capacity factors for a C-phi soil under the framework of the Mohr-Coulomb theory, and the results indicated that the horizontal accelerations as well as soil cohesion and vertical accelerations affect the bearing capacity coefficients considerably.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biopolymer Stabilization of Mine Tailings
TL;DR: In this article, a feasibility study was performed on using xanthan gum and guar gum, two biopolymers that are naturally occurring and inexpensive, to stabilize mine tailings (MT).
