AbstractThe mechanical properties of wood tend to decrease with increasing temperature under normal atmospheric conditions. A pyrolysis zone develops inside wood when it catches fire, and the surface is charred;…
AbstractTo effectively utilize marine resources on reefs or islands and to improve the bearing capacity and serviceability of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced seawater coral aggregate concrete (CAC) structures in marine…
AbstractUsing the Moon’s natural resources to build infrastructure is the first step toward lunar colonization. Lunar regolith, rich in aluminosilicate, has the potential to prepare geopolymer for construction. In this…
AbstractThis study investigated the use of portland cement (PC)–ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) binary cement (BC), which was improved by chemical activation and nanomodification, as a potential alternative to PC for…
AbstractDuring the long-term operation of deep geological nuclear waste repositories, the swelling properties of compacted bentonites can be affected by canister temperature and electrolyte concentration in groundwater. The present article…
AbstractPeat is geotechnically problematic due to high organic content leading to low strength, high compressibility, high rate, and magnitude of creep. The nontraditional materials like a geopolymer can be used…
AbstractOver the last three decades, cutoff walls using soil mix technology have been developed and deployed to deliver in situ containment of contaminated sites. The aggressive contaminated soil environment imposes…
AbstractCompacted Gaomiaozi (GMZ) bentonite has been considered as the first choice of buffer materials in the deep geological disposal of high-level radioactive wastes (HLW) in China. During the long-term lifespan…
AbstractThere is significant microstructural variability in alkali-activated coal fly ashes (CFA) depending on the activation conditions and the intrinsic properties of the utilized CFAs. This study systematically presents the impact…
AbstractThere are large volumes of lead-zinc tailings (LZT) produced in China and elsewhere in the world. LZT disposal to the landfill is problematic and causes many environmental issues. The objective…
