Abstract: This paper investigates the distribution of intergranular forces within uncemented mine backfills using the discrete element method (DEM) and compares it with the existing analytical method. The virtual backfilling is ...

Abstract: This study compared the effect of seven common curing conditions on the compressive strength, pore alkalinity, efflorescence, and shrinkage of five alkali-activated fly ash and slag (AAFS) mortars and one cement mix. The ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to propose a closed-form solution to the poromechanics problem of stress and pore pressure distribution around noncircular openings at great depth subjected to hydrostatic water pressure and far-field ...

Abstract: Research on soil biocementation has gained momentum given its advantages over ordinary Portland cement-based techniques that entail a negative environmental impact. Soil biocementation occurs when bacteria-induced urea ...

Abstract: Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement has been considered as a replacement for the traditional steel reinforcement, mainly due to its corrosion resistance. In this paper, a total of 13 concrete columns and ...

Abstract: Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), despite its superior mechanical and durability properties, has a high CO2 footprint owing to its high portland cement content. This drawback can be offset to a notable extent if a ...
