Received Apr 3, 2012 Revised May 19, 2012 Accepted June 4, 2012 The research assessed and examined the mechanical properties of the Soil Cement Interlocking brick (SCI) to provide the information for the possible and appropriate development and revision of the (SCI) brick due to the substantial benefits which can be obtained by improving these sorts of bricks .Therefore, drastic efforts and acc...

The use of ground granulated blast furnace slag (ggbs) is well established in many cement applications where it provides enhanced durability, including high resistance to chloride penetration, resistance to sulphate attack and protection against alkali silica reaction (ASR). The use of ggbs in soil stabilization is, however, still a novel process in the UK although it has been used in South Afr...

In the present investigation 8 soil samples were studied, with additions of 5 and 7% addition sugar Cane Bagasse Ash (SCBA), Portland Cement (PC) combinations these in different proportions. The characterization classification study was carried out, determining Natural Humidity, Granulometric Curve, Consistency Limits, according to Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) AASHTO compaction. re...

This study aimed at evaluating the effect of blended binders on stabilization clayey soils intended for use as road and pavement materials in selected regions Sweden. The potential containing five stabilizers (cement, bio fly ash, energy slag lime) was investigated using laboratory tests statistical analysis. Soil samples were compacted Swedish Standards UCS. specimens stabilized with mixtures ...

So far many studies have focused on the mechanical behavior of fibre reinforced soils and stabilized with conventional chemical stabilizers such as cement lime; however, very limited researches were conducted unconfined compressive strength characteristics peat soils. Fibre-reinforcement a soil resulted in significant improvement ductility weak or soft The main objective current study is consid...

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness soil–cement (SC) columns, provided either individually or in combination with lime on stability embankment constructed soft consolidating soil. evaluated terms both settlement and factor safety at various time intervals during consolidation. columns studied numerically using two-dimensional plane strain finite element met...

One of the most efficient and environmentally friendly methods for preventing a landslide on a slope is to vegetate it. Vegetation-pervious concretes have a promising potential for soil protection. In this study, the vegetation-pervious concrete with low alkalinity was developed and studied. Combined with a grid beam structure system, the stability and strength between the vegetation-pervious c...

The environment on the lunar surface poses some difficult challenges to building long-term lunar bases; therefore, scientists and engineers have proposed the creation of habitats using lunar building materials. These materials must meet the following conditions: be resistant to severe lunar temperature cycles, be stable in a vacuum environment, have minimal water requirements, and be sourced fr...
