Abstract: This paper reports the findings of experimental studies with regard to some common engineering properties (e.g., grain size, specific gravity, compaction characteristics, and unconfined compression strength) of both low ...

Abstract: Parameters of rock failure criteria are estimated using an optimization procedure based on appropriate objective function. In the development of objective function, it is assumed that the independent variables are free ...

Abstract: In this paper, liquefaction-triggering potential of soil is evaluated in terms of probability of liquefaction (

Abstract: This paper presents a study of buckling and postbuckling behaviour of simply supported composite plates subjected to nonuniform in-plane loading. The mathematical model is based on higher order shear deformation theory ...

Abstract: Thixotropy is a rheological parameter that can control the formwork pressure, multilayer casting, and stability of self-compacting concrete (SCC). The use of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) increases the friction between ...

Abstract: The natural aggregate crisis is an alarming concern for the construction industry worldwide. This study provides a detailed investigation of coal mine overburden (OB) from opencast mine dumps, to evaluate its potential as ...

Abstract: Assessment of the seismic damage of coal mine overburden (OB) dump slopes gets compromised due to negligence of the consideration of heterogeneity in the shape and size of its particles. In this paper, in situ material ...
