The feasibility of propagating road materials in the use of contracture wastes especially contented great amount waste bricks were researched in three aspects: Performance of recycled aggregate, mechanical properties of renewable road materials, compression splitting indexes. Conclusions are as following: recycled aggregates contenting great amount waste bricks in place of natural aggregates ar...

This study presented the overview on behavior of bentonite-sand mixture used in high level radioactive waste disposal. Both unconfined compression test and triaxial were conducted out that unsaturated-saturated samples applied temperature effect below 100 degrees Celsius. Unconfined compressive strength was determined with various temperatures different relative humidity for unsaturated specime...

In this paper the influence of microstructure on crack initiation stress and ultimate strength is investigated using results and analysis of 32 triaxial compression tests performed on cylindrical cores of dolomite samples which exhibit a wide range of grain sizes and mosaic textures. All tests were performed at a constant strain rate, under confining pressures between 0 to 40 MPa. The predictiv...

Abstract The undrained shear strength (Su) and cohesion (Cu) of cohesive soils are frequently determined using an unconfined compression test. However, the test results heavily dependent on specimen size. This causes uncertainty in geotechnical analyses, constitutive models, designs by overestimating or underestimating soils. Therefore, study aims to assess effect height-to-diameter ratio compr...
