Abstract: This paper studies alkali activation of copper mine tailings (MT) and low-calcium flash-furnace copper smelter slag (SG), two major types of wastes from the mining industry. The effect of SG content, curing temperature, ...

Abstract: Scour is a significant contributing factor to bridge failures, and when a bridge fails, it totally or partially loses its serviceability, causing fatalities, delays in emergency transportation and evacuation efforts, and ...

Abstract: Stream-crossing bridges are critical components of the surface transportation system, allowing for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. However, these bridges may be subjected to extreme hydraulic loading ...

Abstract: Geomaterials behave differently under different types of loadings, such as compression, shear, or tension; they exhibit weaker response in tension. To increase the tensile and shear strengths of the soil, different methods ...

Abstract: River ice complicates river hydraulics and morphodynamics by adding a new boundary layer to the top of the flow. This boundary layer affects the velocity distribution throughout the depth due to increased flow resistance, ...
