Abstract: In situ stabilization using cementitious binders has become a common activity for rehabilitating degraded road pavements in Australia. Industrial waste products mixed with traditional binders like general-purpose portland ...

Abstract: The prediction of moisture diffusion within the cementitiously stabilized materials is essential for assessing their shrinkage and associated cracking potential. A theoretical approach was presented for modeling of moisture ...

Abstract: The paper presents a theoretical and experimental approach for the modeling of moisture loss during the drying of cementitiously stabilized pavement materials containing varying contents of fine-grained soil. The process ...

Abstract: Mode I fracture is common in geomechanics in desiccation cracking, hydraulic fracture, and pressuremeter testing. The cohesive crack model has been used extensively and successfully in numerical modeling of such fracture ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a physical model–based approach for predicting failures of concrete stormwater pipelines considering corrosion of reinforcing steel bars. Three failure modes, namely flexure failure, shear failure, and ...

Abstract: An alternative method was introduced for predicting the nonlinear

Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical model for the analysis of the axial response of tapered piles in cohesive frictional ground. The operating characteristics of tapered cylindrical piles are identified on the basis of ...

Abstract: With the advent of climate change, it is thought that desiccation cracking of soil will lead to increases in damage to buried infrastructure. Desiccation cracking is a complex phenomenon that historically has been very ...
