Determining suction compression index of expansive soils based on non-linear suction-volumetric strain relationship
(2016-12)
Expansive soils have always been problematic in many parts of the United States and the world. This is due to the stresses they exert on buildings' foundations, pavements, and other geotechnical structures. In the United ...
Use of non-destructive x-ray microscopic techniques to study fluid transport in cement-based materials
(2016-12)
Most of the urban infrastructure is made of concrete with a design service life of over 50 years. Unfortunately, many concrete structures suffer from premature deterioration due to durability issues, most commonly caused ...
Impact of different curing methods and drying conditions on drying shrinkage induced curling
(2016-12)
Prolonged wet curing is thought by many to provide only improvements in concrete performance. Also, because of the large surface to volume ratio of volume change sensitive structures such as slabs on grade, differential ...
