Abstract: In this paper, alkali-activated materials (AAMs) were prepared combining waste coral powder (CP) and blast furnace slag (BFS) as precursors, artificial seawater and deionized water as mixing water, and blends of NaOH and ...

Abstract: The addition of an appropriate content of calcium source into cement-based materials containing coal gasification fine ash (CGFA) is found to be a potential method to improve its mechanical properties. In this study, three ...

Abstract: As a potential source of damage, earthquake-induced liquefaction is a major concern for embankment safety and serviceability. Densification has been a popular method for improving the performance of liquefiable soils. ...

Abstract: Geopolymer-blended aerogel materials (GAMs) prepared by adding different proportions of water and SiO2 aerogel (AG) were studied with respect to stability, viscosity, segregation degree, density, thermal conductivity, ...

Abstract: Previous earthquake events indicate that pile foundations in liquefiable soils are vulnerable to damage due to the coupling of inertial and kinematic effects. Inclined piles are widely applied in structures located in ...
