The first Korean cold room facility for ice mechanics experiments was assembled in 2004. Since then, the 4 m x 6 m cold room facility has been extensively used under various different environmental and loading conditions. After reviewing published references on cold room testing methods and also by trial and error, the standard procedures for testing and preparing laboratory ice material were e...

Spent bleaching earth (SBE) is a waste generated by the edible oil industry that currently has limited options for beneficial reuse. In excess of ∼2 million tonnes per year of SBE is generated world-wide with major quantities available in the middle-east where significant volumes of edible oils are produced. Low pressure compaction followed by heat treatment at 150°C causes polymerisation of th...

Improvement and stabilization of soils are widely used to improve the physical and mechanical properties of sandy soils. Despite the abundance of researchers that have been conducted on this topic to date, most of them have focused on dry soil. The effects of the existing water in the soil and different curing durations (curing environment) have not been investigated. In this study, different p...

Soil improvement is commonly carried out in construction work with the aim of increasing bearing capacity / strength soil so that it can carry load will stand on it. The method often used stabilization addition materials. In this study, was Portland Cement. This research begins sampling and laboratory testing to determine physical mechanical properties soil, followed by making samples for Uncon...

Dispersive soils which occur in many parts of the world are easily erodible and segregate in water pose serious problems of stability of earth and earth retaining structures. The mechanism of dispersivity of soils is reasonably well understood. However there is simple method to identify the dispersivity of the soils and even more difficult to quantify the dispersivity. Visual classification, At...

–A detailed investigation has done Redmud an Alluminium industrial waste product has done to study its feasibility for use in road constructions. In this study Redmud was stabilized with 2, 4, 6, 8,10and 12 percentages of lime and unconfined compressive strength, Split tensile strength and California bearing ratio tests were conducted at 1, 3, 7 and 28 days curing periods respectively. From the...
