Abstract: In situ stabilization using cementitious binders has become a common activity for rehabilitating degraded road pavements in Australia. Industrial waste products mixed with traditional binders like general-purpose portland ...

Abstract: The prediction of moisture diffusion within the cementitiously stabilized materials is essential for assessing their shrinkage and associated cracking potential. A theoretical approach was presented for modeling of moisture ...

Abstract: The paper presents a theoretical and experimental approach for the modeling of moisture loss during the drying of cementitiously stabilized pavement materials containing varying contents of fine-grained soil. The process ...

Abstract: Mode I fracture is common in geomechanics in desiccation cracking, hydraulic fracture, and pressuremeter testing. The cohesive crack model has been used extensively and successfully in numerical modeling of such fracture ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a physical model–based approach for predicting failures of concrete stormwater pipelines considering corrosion of reinforcing steel bars. Three failure modes, namely flexure failure, shear failure, and ...

Abstract: An alternative method was introduced for predicting the nonlinear

Abstract: Lime slurry pressure injection (LSPI) is a stabilization operation used in problematic soils by transportation industries with the aim of improving the geotechnical properties and bringing excessive maintenance costs to ...

Abstract: It is well known that internal water pressure, including pressure transients, in water supply networks is a major contributing factor in many pipe failures. Reliable prediction of pipe failures needs accurate information ...

Abstract: The stability evaluation of earth slopes is a common practice in geotechnical designs. To account for uncertain characteristics of soil properties, probabilistic evaluation that requires repeated calculations of factor of ...
