Correlations between compression index and atterberg limits found in the literature are very important for preliminary estimation. These equations usually interpreted based on R-square parameter classified according to conditions of data (disturbed, undisturbed, remoulded, etc.). Although correlations reliable enough eliminate oedometer tests not yet fully available, these can be useful local c...

the present study was an attempt to investigate varieties of cloze test and c-test as measures of reading comprehension ability. it aimed at comparing the performances of subjects on different cloze and c-test forms constructed from the same passage. to this end, five versions of cloze test and two versions of c-test were developed by applying different deletion techniques and deletion rates, a...

Binary mixtures composed of 80% high-density pellets and 20% granular bentonite at hygroscopic water content are currently considered for use in vertical sealing systems the deep longterm disposal radioactive wastes. By pouring dry components without compaction, mixturedisplays a density around 1.49 Mg/m3. However, these subjected to long-term hydrations from surrounding formations with possibi...

This paper presents the results of a centrifuge study in which swell an expansive clay profile was induced centrifuge. A factor has previously hindered such research is time required to induce significant in-flight, within reasonable frame. In this use artificially fissured fabric together with geotextile layers allowed for magnitude be achieved matter hours. Measurements matric suction and wat...
