Cement-Bentonite (CB) barriers are expected to become a sustainable and reliable engineering solution. The deformation of CB is interest engineers comprehend, particularly how responds changes in loading during its construction service life. purpose this study was examine samples mixtures behaved consolidation. This investigated: (1) the influence curing time constituent materials on consolidat...

Recycling and reusing plastic waste are key options for ameliorating its negative effects on the environment economy. This paper proposes evolutionary polynomial regression (EPR) as a powerful technique to predict compressibility behavior of sand high-density polyethylene (HDPE) mixtures. In investigation, series large-scale oedometer experiments were conducted. The results coefficients lateral...

To improve the problem of collapsibility loess, adding industrial materials such as cement is common engineering treatment, but this seriously damages reclamation performance soil. Calcium lignosulfonate (CLS) from paper plant waste fluids a natural bio-based polymer with good application prospects soil improver. In paper, and mechanical properties CLS improved loess were investigated using tes...

W W W .R U B .D E /S F B 8 3 7 The application of electrical energy during Electrokinetic Treatment (EKT) on soils has been well experimented in order to either consolidate (by dewatering) or decontaminate them. Several practical cases in the literature validate the use of this technique to improve the mechanical properties of soft clays in foundations, excavations and other geotechnical works....

An existing open and modular designed micro X-Ray Computed Tomography (μXRCT) system is extended by a test rig in order to combine mechanical hydro-mechanical experiments with μXRCT characterization. The aim of the cover complete resolution range underlying combination broad load capacity range. A characteristic feature developed setup that it consists mainly standard components. This makes sho...
