Abstract: Analyses of load tests on instrumented drilled shafts in intermediate geomaterials (IGMs) and rock are performed using a hyperbolic model for relative displacement (

Abstract: Reports of failure of existing concrete structures due to a lack of durability, rather than a deficiency in structural strength, has made concrete technologists, engineers, and researchers focus research on the parameters ...

Abstract: With an alarmingly increased rate of deterioration in reinforced concrete structures due to durability performance, efforts are being made to quantify in situ performance. Performance is a function of time and it is related ...

Abstract: In this study, recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) from construction and demolition waste (CDW) was utilized in zero-slump concrete (ZSC) to produce M-40 grade paver blocks. Initially, coarse RCA (4.75 to 10 mm in ...

Abstract: There has been growing interest to reduce the use of conventional natural aggregates to promote sustainability in construction industry. In this study, quartz sandstones are substituted for natural igneous coarse aggregates ...
