The use of lightweight concrete with expanded clay has increased as an alternative for reducing the self-weight of structures. Consequently, techniques that facilitate the analysis of the mechanical ...
This article describes the development and validation of a linear viscoelastic model 2S2P1D for silty sand mixed with 16% asphalt emulsion. Experimental data from creep tests were employed to propose ...
ABSTRACT: The present study focuses on the formulation of new composite consisting of plaster and raffia vinifera particle (RVP) with the purpose to reducing energy consumption. The aim of this study ...
In Session 6 of the KLA Instruments Indentation University series, we provide some background on shale properties, and discuss and demonstrate the experimental method of ISO 14577 hardness testing and ...
In Session 3 of the KLA Instruments Indentation University, we walk you through the theory of basic instrumented indentation (nanoindentation), with special attention paid to the Oliver-Pharr ...
Abstract: Inclusion of geogrid in aggregate base materials is an increasingly popular practice in pavement construction. Geogrid reinforcement can improve the performance of pavements by stiffening ...
Phosphogypsum (PG), as a by-product of the production of phosphoric acid, faces the problems of large annual output and difficult treatment. There is a large demand for fillers in the process of road ...
ABSTRACT: Current pavement design methods do not allow for the reduction of early deformation of the surface layers of bituminous pavements in the city of Ouagadougou. Weather conditions combined with ...
