Abstract: A practical method is presented for modeling of two-dimensional arbitrary shape aggregates. An efficient algorithm is developed for mass concrete whose aggregate content reaches 60–70%. All the same kind of random triangular ...

Abstract: In-place test methods are available that can be used as alternatives to testing field-cured specimens to evaluate concrete strength in a structure. However, in-place test results do not represent the compressive strength ...

Abstract: Expansive soils in cut slopes are prone to sliding for a period of time after excavation. They are commonly found during construction in expansive soil subgrade. Their sliding is not directly affected by the height and ...

Abstract: A few innovative designs and construction measures are introduced to build a roller-compacted concrete (RCC) gravity dam with a height of 160 m (524.96 ft), whereas the design peak ground acceleration of the dam site is
