A thermoset PMS (Polyvinyl modified silicone) type polymer additive effect on load bearing capacities of cement grouted rock bolt specimens exposed to thermal cycles was investigated with a series experimental studies. The used in this study liquid phase while adding into the fresh mix and started solidify by polymerization after being mixed well grout. silicone based product selected use becau...

The paper provides a critical appraisal of the events surrounding the unexpected settlement of large-diameter monopile foundations for offshore wind energy converters, and will detail experimentation that is to be undertaken to determine the extent of the wear failure mode in such structures. The potential for wear deterioration at the grout-steel interface has been caused by the lack of axial ...
