The stability of the rock mass is generally constituted by presence and behavior discontinuities. flow water in a one parameters that considerably affect fractured behavior, strength, stability. This study proposes triaxial compression test to determine stress, strain, failure modes penetrating under static load, reveal relationship between its deformation strain rate, fracture slope, water. AB...

the mechanical behaviour of rockfill materials and aggregates depends not only on particle size and compaction, but also on their strength and lithological properties. in this research two types of large triaxial and direct shear tests are performed on rockfill materials. this paper compares the stress-strain behaviour of sandstone and andesibasalt materials in triaxial compression tests (3006...

an understanding of the strength of rice grains as affected by moisture content and temperature is important for analysis and prediction of cracking and/or breakage behavior during handling and processing. further, the magnitude of these properties at various moisture contents and temperatures is needed for the accurate design of milling machinery so that grain damage is minimized. to determine...

The mechanical behavior of multicracks under compression has become a very important project in the field of fracture mechanics and rock mechanics. In this paper, experimental and numerical studies on the fracture property of three collinear cracks under compression were implemented. The specimens were a square concrete plate, and the cracks were made by a very thin film. The tests were conduct...

due to the existence of fibrous materials such as plastic fragments, the strength anisotropy of municipal solid waste (msw) materials is the main source of differences between their mechanical response in direct shear and triaxial apparatus. as an extension of earlier research on the mechanical behavior of msw using a large traixail apparatus, results presented in shariatmadari et al. [1] and k...

pervious concrete is a concrete mixture prepared from cement, aggregates, water, little or no fines, and in some cases admixtures. the hydrological property of pervious concrete is the primary reason for its reappearance in construction. much research has been conducted on plain concrete, but little attention has been paid to porous concrete, particularly to the analytical prediction modeling o...

This study investigated the effects of soil moisture content on strength and deformation properties foundation soils cultural relics. Our goal is to inform formulation implementation repair scheme for relics above help protect Soil samples with five different contents were prepared used in unconfined compression, triaxial, consolidation tests. Several mechanical parameters determined under cont...

the effects of adding nano-silica particles on the compressive strength and water permeability of concrete and its comparison with that of micro-silica were investigated in this work. the effect of combination of nano- silica and micro-silica were also studied in this work, which resulted in an increase in compressive strength of concrete in comparison with other concrete specimens tested in th...

abstract statement of problem: the ph of the human abscess has been measured as low as 5.0. this low ph could potentially inhibit setting reactions, affect adhesion, or increase the solubility of root end filling materials hence affect the compressive strength. moreover, root end filling materials might expose or even mix with lidocaine hcl during periapical surgery. objectives: the aim of this...
