Abstract: The present study focuses on investigating the effect of freeze–thaw (FT) cycles, referred to as environmental effect in this paper, on aggregates stabilized with various stabilizing agents, namely, cement kiln dust (CKD), ...

Abstract: A laboratory study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of different percentages of hydrated lime, class C fly ash (CFA), and cement kiln dust (CKD) as soil stabilizers. Cylindrical specimens were compacted and ...

Abstract: A new device for cyclic testing of large size interfaces between structural and geologic materials and rock joints is described. Test results are reported for a sand‐concrete interface, and are used to express shear stress ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the application of an internal variable, creep constitutive model, where the concept of piecewise linearity in the effective stress-creep strain rate relationship is utilized. ...

Abstract: A laboratory study was conducted to investigate the behavior of a soft compacted clayey soil subjected to repeated loading. The work was part of a comprehensive investigation of the Low Track Modulus section at the Facility ...
