15. Supplementary Notes Project performed in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration; Project Title: Implementation of Research Results Regarding Shear Strength and Stability of Embankments 16. Abstract A number of TxDOT-sponsored studies and research projects have been conducted over the years regarding shear strength and slope stability i...

The undrained shear strength of clay is an important index for the calculation bearing capacity foundation soil, soil pressure pit, and analysis slope stability. Therefore, purpose this paper to conduct a comprehensive study combined use machine learning with theoretical equations estimate it. Under Bayesian framework, CatBoost algorithm (CatBoost–Bayesian) based on optimization was developed o...

In laboratory testing, the liquefaction resistance of sands is typically evaluated using cyclic triaxial and simple shear tests. These tests cannot be used in a rigorous manner to systematically assess effects principal stress rotation intermediate changes on undrained response sands. this study, effect these two factors Ottawa sand was investigated hollow cylinder apparatus. At similar initial...

Uncontrolled stormwater runoff not only creates drainage problems and flash floods but also presents a considerable threat to water quality and the environment. These problems can, to a large extent, be reduced by a type of stormwater management approach employing permeable pavement systems (PPS) in urban, industrial and commercial areas, where frequent problems are caused by intense undrained ...

[1] The Martian outflow channels were carved by the eruption of catastrophic floods from groundwater aquifers. This study models the time evolution of a typical outflow channel flood originating within a chaos region. The flood initiates when superlithostatic pore pressures within a confined aquifer lead to the propagation of hydrofractures through the confining cryosphere to the surface. The p...
