Electrical resistivity measurement of freshly prepared uncured and cured soil-cement materials is done and the correlations between the factors controlling the performance of soil-cement and electrical resistivity are discussed in this paper. Conventional quality control of soil-cement quite often involves wastage of a lot of material, if it does not meet the strength criteria. In this study, i...

So far many studies have focused on the mechanical behavior of fibre reinforced soils and stabilized with conventional chemical stabilizers such as cement lime; however, very limited researches were conducted unconfined compressive strength characteristics peat soils. Fibre-reinforcement a soil resulted in significant improvement ductility weak or soft The main objective current study is consid...

Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions is becoming a significant factor in all industries. Cement manufacturing one the industries responsible for emissions, specifically carbon dioxide emissions. Pozzolanic materials have long been used as cement additives due to pozzolanic reaction that occurs when hydrated and formation cementitious material similar cement. In this study, shale, which common...

Anisotropy, which is characteristic of metamorphic rocks such as schists, is due to a process of metamorphic differentiation. Preferred orientation of minerals like mica and chlorite in response to tectonic stresses makes schistose rocks foliated. As a result their engineering properties vary with the direction of loading. The influence of transverse anisotropy on strength and deformational res...
