Abstract:Highway embankment in North Texas is constructed mainly on expansive clays. However, due to wetting and drying cycles over years, clayey soil in embankments are expected to change their engineering characteristics. Therefore, sloughing and shallow slope failures are predominant in North Texas area and posses a significant maintenance problem for Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Recycled Plastic Pins (RPP) had been utilized in other states (Missouri, Iowa) as a cost effective solution for slope stabi… Show more
