Abstract: Accurate determination of adhesion between asphalt binders and aggregates is essential to pavement performance. In this study, particle-probe scanning force microscopes were used to measure the adhesion between mineral ...

Abstract: Rainfall, evaporation, tides and waves make the soil at coastlines show dynamic unsaturated characteristics. In order to cope with landslides, collapses, and coastline receding, microbially induced calcium carbonate ...

Abstract: Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an innovative ground improvement technique that utilizes bacteria to induce calcium carbonate precipitation to cement soil particles. In this paper, the interface strength ...
