Exposed geo−infrastructures filled with compacted soils experience cyclic wetting–drying effects due to environment and underground water fluctuations. Soil physical mechanical behaviors are prone deterioration a great extent, e.g., swelling, collapse, or even slope failure, resulting in huge losses human life, safety, engineering construction. In this paper, hydraulic loading tests of cycles w...

Welcome to the WIT Press eLibrary - home of Transactions Wessex Institute collection, providing on-line access papers presented at Institute's prestigious international conferences and from its State-of-the-Art in Science & Engineering publications.

Various types of fibers like glass, steel, coconut fiber, sugarcane bagasse etc are used to increase the mechanical properties concrete. SCBF is final residue sugar industries which in this study. The objective paper study effect geopolymer concrete (GPC) and conventional (CC) equivalent grade M40 when it subjected alternative drying wetting. specimens treated with water by wetting process. Thi...

Lime treatment can enhance the workability and hydro-mechanical properties of soil through different physical-chemical reactions. Nevertheless, beneficiary effect lime be altered when was exposed to wetting-drying cycles, depending on wetting fluid state. In present study, changes in small strain shear modulus (Gmax) microstructure a compacted lime-treated silt under cycles were studied. The un...

Reclaimed water is an important supplementary source for fresh water. Purification is necessary prior to utilization in order to minimize the pollution and human-health risk. A three-year experiment was carried out to study the removal of nitrogen and organics through a simulated soil aquifer treatment (SAT) system under continuous wetting and wetting/drying conditions. The removal performance ...
