An experimental study on non-destructive evaluation of the mechanical characteristics of a sustainable concrete incorporating industrial waste (2022)
Journal Article

Structural materials sustainability is gaining popularity across the globe at present. Reusing natural resources, building, demolition debris, and solid waste are the most apparent tools to make construction more environmentally friendly. Traditional...

Performance of sustainable road pavements founded on clay subgrades treated with eco-friendly cementitious materials (2022)
Journal Article

Clays encountered during road construction are mostly weak and result in major pavement failures due to their low California bearing ratio (CBR) and high swelling potential. In this study, sustainable and eco-friendly waste materials including brick...

Using Artificial Intelligence techniques to predict intrinsic compressibility characteristic of Clay (2022)
Journal Article

Reconstituted clays have often provided the basis for the interpretation and modelling of the properties of natural clays. The term “intrinsic” was introduced to describe a clay remoulded or reconstituted at moisture content up to 1.5 times its liqui...
