The various swell-shrink tendencies cause numerous substructure distress infrastructures such as buildings, pavements, breast walls, among others. Geotechnical engineers have worked hard to understand behavior ex...

After water, concrete was the material for construction that is used on largest scale planet, and as an outcome of technological development, concrete's qualities have evolved over time. A study carried out to investigate potential use mineral admixture a partial replacement in high performance concrete. Since they can significantly improve strength durability properties when compared regular P...
