The use of lightweight concrete with expanded clay has increased as an alternative for reducing the self-weight of structures. Consequently, techniques that facilitate the analysis of the mechanical ...

ABSTRACT: Based on the Hertzian granular contact mechanics model, the paper built up a Macroscopic Young’s Elastic Modulus of particle/granular packing rock layers, and built up a ties to connecting ...

ABSTRACT: The global awareness and utilization of superplasticizers (SPs) in concrete have significantly contributed to developing resilient and sustainable infrastructure. Despite this, many ...

Abstract: Absolute value of complex modulus is dynamic modulus. Complex modulus of bituminous mixes is a key parameter used in mechanistic design approach of flexible pavements. Performance of ...

Recent analyses of some of the test property data from the AGC-1 creep capsule are reported. Specifically the analyses of data for the effects of compressive creep strain on the Dynamic elastic ...

Abstract: An exact analytical solution is presented for the effective dynamic transverse shear modulus in a heterogeneous fluid-filled porous solid containing cylindrical inclusions. The complex and ...

Introduction: Improper disposal of mollusk shells has led to environmental issues worldwide. Given their primary composition of calcium carbonate, these shells have been studied for their potential ...
