Abstract: This research was developed for the evaluation of the mechanical response of a mixture of soil and reclaimed-asphalt pavement (RAP) stabilized with cement. Mixtures were made containing 70% Osorio sand and 30% reclaimed-asphalt ...

Abstract: Enhancement of local soils with fibers and cement for the construction of stabilized pavement bases, canal lining, and support layers for shallow foundations shows great economical and environmental advantages, avoiding ...

Abstract: This paper reports on the development of a dosage methodology based of compressive strength for artificially cemented fiber-reinforced soils. The controlling parameters evaluated were the fiber content (

Abstract: Often, the use of traditional techniques in geotechnical engineering faces obstacles of economical and environmental nature. The addition of cement becomes an attractive technique when the project requires improvement of ...

Abstract: The multiaxial behavior of an artificially lightly cemented sand was investigated using the cubical cell apparatus (CCA). Two different cement–sand blends were prepared by compaction at different densities and cement ...

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: This technical note addresses the possibility of replacing portland cement, the production of which is harmful to the environment, with a new, sustainable residue mixture. This new mixture, composed of ground glass powder ...

Abstract: The employment of industrial by-products with pozzolanic properties (e.g., fly ash) is a viable technique for soil stabilization purposes when a more advantageous environmental performance is sought. For routine ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental program aiming to explore the mechanical response of lightly cemented sands under different orientations of the principal stress axes using the hollow cylinder torsional ...
