Bimodal soils with aggregates present a complex micro-structural and volumetric behaviour. This occurs because they showcase several variables, such as mineralogical, different grain sizes structures. The objective of this paper is to develop methodology for producing simple, non-mineralogical variability controlled double porosity. In sense, using Kaolin were created obtain bimodal samples. pr...

Full-field digital image correlation precise analysis crack kinematics. Development a mechanical model for reinforcement in printed (3DCP) offers many new possibilities. This technology could increase the productivity construction industry reduce its environment...

A commonly used material in offshore structures is S355 structural steel. For example, during the monopile fabrication process, pre-strained to different levels at depths through thickness. Therefore, influence of pre-straining on fatigue life and crack growth behaviour needs be examined considered for design assessment procedures. In present study, uniaxial tests have been conducted materials ...
