Abstract: The lack of bearing capacity of geotechnical materials is a recurrent problem that can be solved through chemical admixtures and densification methods. However, traditional materials/techniques are normally associated with ...

Abstract: The initial weight and volume relationships play a crucial role in determining the strength of cement-stabilized soils. Since 2007, the porosity/binder ratio has been widely utilized as a control index for stabilized soil ...

Abstract: The strength behavior of rocks is a question of complex determination. The Hoek–Brown failure criterion for rock masses is the currently accepted solution to this problem and has been applied to a large number of projects ...

Abstract: Portland cement production is an energy-intensive process, and more sustainable substitutes are needed, e.g., alkali-activated binders originated from industrial wastes. Thus, this paper analyzes the combination of ...
