Abstract: Although vegetable fibers demonstrate great advantages as a reinforcement element, their degradation susceptibility is currently the main concern in geotechnical works and requires further investigation to advance their ...

Abstract: The behavior of a polypropylene fiber-reinforced bentonite was evaluated at large shear displacements by a series of ring shear tests carried out at normal stresses varying between 20 and

Abstract: The technology of asphalt materials and mixtures has evolved in the last four decades in Europe and North America. For the surface layer, there has been an increase in the use of more resistant and durable asphalt mixtures, ...

Abstract: The results of drained triaxial tests on fiber reinforced and nonreinforced sand (Osorio sand) specimens are presented in this work, considering effective stresses varying from 20 to

Abstract: This study presents the characteristics of municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration ash obtained from an electric energy generation plant and evaluates the MSW ash applicability in base road pavement layers through the ...

Abstract: The main objectives of this research are to investigate the effect of hydrated lime (HL) treatment on the swelling behavior of a natural expansive soil, Eagle Ford clay from Texas, through centrifuge testing. So far, no ...

Abstract: To investigate techniques that focus on mining waste applied to geotechnical works, the mechanical behavior of mining waste reinforced with polymeric fibers has been studied. The present research seeks to evaluate the ...

Abstract: Every year millions of bottles of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are discarded into the environment, when in fact these materials have a high potential to be recycled and/or beneficially reused. This study aims to evaluate ...
