Abstract: A series of repeated loading nanoindentation experiments were performed on muscovite with a sharp indenter tip and loading direction normal to the basal plane, and the maximum load (

Abstract: This paper describes the initial efforts to explore a new application of metakaolin-based geopolymers to structural health monitoring. A distributed geopolymer-fiber optic sensing (G-FOS) system is proposed, where geopolymers ...

Abstract: This paper presents a laboratory investigation of the influence of simulated tube-sampling disturbance on lightly overconsolidated intermediate soils by varying their plasticity and degree of sampling disturbance. Samples ...

Abstract: Multiscale experiments were conducted to investigate the thixotropic behavior of a naturally occurring illite-rich marine clay with a moderate salinity and of a manufactured, highly purified kaolin clay at respective liquid ...
