Expansive clays are problematic soils as they contain minerals that swell when wetted and
shrink during drying. Highway construction on expansive soils requires some form of …

In this study, an instrumented dynamic cone penetrometer incorporated with time domain
reflectometry (IDPT) is developed to provide portable in-situ penetrometer for evaluation of …

Geotechnical parameters are crucial for mine planning and operation at different stages of
development. However, estimating these parameters requires a large number of boreholes …

Nowadays, construction of new roads and upgradation of existing roads are booming as a
part of infrastructural development in India. Subgrade strength plays an important role in the …

This study resulted from the need for better consideration of subgrade and unbound layers
on the performance of flexible pavements in Kansas. Thus, the main objective was to …

The resilient modulus of subgrade should be estimated for pavement designs that undergo
repetitive loading from vehicular movement. In this study, an in-situ modulus detector (IMD) …

For the efficient management of geo-infrastructures in the field, engineering properties of the
subgrade should be reliably and rapidly investigated. The objective of this study is to …

An important problem of container nurseries is ensuring equal and favorable growth
conditions for cultivated plants. This can be achieved by ensuring the physical parameters of …

Subsurface characterization is essential for a successful infrastructure design and
construction. This paper demonstrates the use of an instrumented cone penetrometer (ICP) …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of hammer weight and drop height on
compression stress, transferred energy, and strength index in loose layer. An instrumented …
