PHASES constitute an alternative paradigm for working with multiband image data and layered grids of quantitative multivariate spatial data. PHASES differ substantially from classical counterparts in being geared toward extracting dominant characteristics of spatial mosaics in a condensed manner which facilitates and simplifies storage, analysis, presentation, and distribution. Since most lands...

This paper reports the results of model loading tests performed on an eccentrically loaded strip foundation supported by multi-layered geogrid-reinforced sand. Only one type of geogrid and sand at one relative density of compaction were considered. Based on the present laboratory test results, an empirical relationship for the reduction factor has been developed. This relationship can be used t...

This study was conducted to investigate the potential benefits of using geogrids in mitigating pavement defects notably roughness and longitudinal cracking on pavements built over expansive soils. The seasonal changes soils (periodic wetting drying) cause detrimental effects overlying road pavements. Such behavior simulated a controlled laboratory environment through allowing cyclic drying an s...
