Performance of clay stabilized by cementitious materials and inclusion of zeolite/alkaline metals-based additive (2020)
Journal Article

RoadCem (RC) is a by-product additive produced based on nanotechnology and comprises of synthetic zeolites and alkali earth metals as some of its components. The geotechnical properties of a soil stabilized by adding RC to partly replaced cementitiou...

Swell and microstructural characteristics of high-plasticity clay blended with cement (2019)
Journal Article

This study presents the effect of high plasticity on swell potential, swelling pressure and micro structural characteristics of kaolinite-bentonite mixed clays. Five different combining ratios of kaolinite bentonite mixture of 100:0, 90:10, 75:25, 50... Read More about Swell and microstructural characteristics of high-plasticity clay blended with cement.

Development of improved models for estimation of bursting stresses in elements under high-concentrated load (2018)
Journal Article

© 2019, Brazilian Association of Computational Mechanics. All rights reserved. In precast concrete segmental tunnels, radial and circumferential joints are often the most highly stressed parts and it is therefore important to use appropriate equation...

Effect of intrinsic microscopic properties and suction on swell characteristics of compacted expansive clays (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd The complex swelling mechanism in expansive clays during moisture ingress can be succinctly explained by an examination of their core mineralogy, microfabric, grain size and suction response. This note has attempted to investigate... Read More about Effect of intrinsic microscopic properties and suction on swell characteristics of compacted expansive clays.

Non-Linear Analysis of Precast Concrete Segment Joints under High Compressive Loads (2018)
Journal Article

When a precast concrete tunnel lining is loaded, the joints rotate as the lining deforms leading to varying contact lengths. This paper presents a numerical study on a precast concrete segment joint subjected to a high compressive loading, using nonl...
