Abstract: One of the common distresses observed in asphalt concrete (AC) pavements under repeated vehicular and thermal loadings is cracking. Overlay placement is a quick remedy to rehabilitate these distressed surfaces. Unfortunately, ...

Abstract: Granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS) is one of the by-products generated during the process of the extraction of iron from iron ore. In order to use this by-product in a more sustainable manner, in-depth knowledge of ...

Abstract: In the present study, a novel model is introduced for the prediction of a resilient modulus (MR) of cohesive subgrade soils considering cone-penetration test parameters to establish correlations with the MR. A reliable ...

Abstract: In the design of reinforced soil structures, the pullout resistance of reinforcement embedded in the fill material is an important input parameter. Different pullout test setups have been proposed previously to determine ...

Abstract: In practice, it is quite common for soils to be mixed and compacted at moisture contents lower than the optimum moisture content (OMC) or lime content less than the optimum lime content (OLC). This study investigates the ...

Abstract: Through the process of extracting iron from iron ore, a by-product is generated known as granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS). Traditional stabilization methods such as cement stabilization are not entirely sustainable ...

Abstract: Rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) is a lightweight material similar to expanded polystyrene foam but which has undergone a safer manufacturing process, for instance without flammable gases such as butane (C4H10) or pentane ...

Abstract: The viability of using two waste materials, water treatment sludge (WTS) and fly ash (FA), for developing sustainable masonry units has been previously investigated in terms of strength but the important aspect of durability ...
