Abstract: This study investigates the use of the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique and GeoPIV-RG software to track the localized axial and lateral strain development of composite geogrid specimens in a wide-width tensile ...

Abstract: A modified conventional direct shear device was used to measure unsaturated shear strength of two silty soils at low suction values (

Abstract: A modified conventional direct shear device was used to measure unsaturated shear strength of two silty soils at low suction values (∼0–50  kPa) that were achieved by following drying and wetting paths of soil-water ...

Abstract: This paper uses finite-element techniques to investigate the performance of buried tunnels subjected to surface blasts incorporating fully coupled fluid-structure interaction and appropriate material models that simulate ...

Abstract: Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) has received considerable interest in recent years for economic, environmental, and social reasons, and it is necessary to discover what effect the inclusion of RAP into asphalt layers has ...

Abstract: Multigrade bitumen asphalt is a quality asphalt product that is not used in many places globally. Multigrade bitumen is believed to be less sensitive to temperature, which gives it an advantage over conventional binders. ...

Abstract: This research paper aims to comprehensively investigate the effectiveness and sensitivity of fiber inclusion on the behavior of a clayey soil subjected to desiccation. A series of laboratory experiments including desiccation ...
