RISEvaluation of Geofoam as a Geotechnical Construction Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Geofoam has the scientific name of expanded polystyrene (EPS). A block of EPS is made from particles of polystyrene through an expanding and melting process in an automatic mold machine by adding steam. The geofoam ...
Effects of Water-Binder Ratio and Aggregate Shape on Crack Evolution in Cement-Based Materials: Inclined Shear Test and DEM Simulation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, inclined shear tests (ISTs) coupled with acoustic emission (AE) monitoring and discrete element method (DEM) numerical simulations were employed to investigate the influence of the water/binder (w/b) ratio ...
