Resumen: Se ha estudiado la permeabilidad al agua de tres suelos del entorno de Oviedo (N de España) y su relación con algunas de sus propiedades índice. En campo, se realizó una caracterización y clasificación geotécnica, distinguiéndose un aluvión (Nora), coluvión (Ules) y eluvión (Piedramuelle). En laboratorio, se ha medido varias propiedades índice para clasificar los suelos según el Sistema Unificado de Clasificación de Suelos (SUCS).

Abstract:
In the restoration field and the cultural heritage, the treatment of colour is very important, being an important factor for the decisions and interventions in historic buildings. However, some of these have not the same recognition and protection by authorities, being really vulnerable, especially against natural phenomena like the earthquakes. After the 2017 Puebla Earthquake, the remainders of the earthen architecture of Jojutla de Juarez were collected to be analysed. Natural clays of the quarries near the town were compared by colorimetry tests with the traditional adobe samples which wer

Soil is the key of the road foundations. Soil of high CBR value will have good bearing capacity for road construction. Conversely, soil stabilization must be carried out to the subgrade that has bad bearing capacity. The goals of this analysis are to find out the soil characteristict of before stabilization, CBR values of before and after stabilization, the optimum cement use and salt (NaCl) use as stabilizers.The results of soil poperties test in Silt High Plasticity (MH) based on Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and A-7-5 based on American Association of State Highway and Transporta

Computerized MS-Windows Visual Basic software of a cone penetration test (CPT) for soil classification was developed as part of an extensive effort to facilitate the implementation of CPT technology in many geotechnical engineering applications. Five CPT soil engineering classification systems were implemented as a handy, user-friendly, software tool for geotechnical engineers. In the probabilistic region estimation and fuzzy classification methods, a conformal transformation is first applied to determine the profile of soil classification index (U) with depth from cone tip resistance (qc) and

Abstract:
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is an established trenchless construction method for the installation of underground utilities and pipelines. Subsequently, the method is becoming widely accepted as a cost-effective alternative to traditional open-cut construction. However, the occurrence of hydraulic fracturing, resulting in the migration of drilling fluid to the surface has placed the HDD process under scrutiny, especially when being considered for environmentally sensitive projects. Hydraulic fracturing results from an excess buildup of fluidic pressure within the borehole. Models have

Abstract:
The Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) uses the 4.75 mm sieve opening size (#4 sieve) as the boundary between ‘coarse’ and ‘fine’ particles. Particles larger than 4.75 mm are classified as ‘coarse’, whereas particles smaller than 4.75 mm are classified as ‘fine’. However, applying these definitions to railroad ballast can be erroneous, as most particles in a ballast material are larger than 4.75 mm (often as large as 63 mm in size), therefore indicating the absence of any ‘fine’ particles. However, depending on relative distribution of particle sizes within a granular matrix, certain pa
