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.

Strength and Hydraulic Conductivity of Cement and By -Product Cementitious Materials Improved Soil (2018)
Journal Article

This paper presents an experimental investigation on strength and hydraulic conductivity of a fine grained soil mixed with cement, Pulverised Fly Ash and Ground Granulated Blast Slag. Strength and permeability are important properties that defines th... Read More about Strength and Hydraulic Conductivity of Cement and By -Product Cementitious Materials Improved Soil.

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...
