In the case of rock-fluids interaction, numerous studies have mainly focused on field and numerical simulations regarding the existence of toxic gases and investigations about the possibility of gas burst. This paper is related to the development of experimental investigations for granite formations on samples obtained from Creighton mine, Sudbury, Cana...
View ArticleThe literature review of previous studies and the analysis of observations and knowledge gathered in Africa, as well as regional experience in Brazil, India and Australia on the influences of texture, grain size distribution and mineralogy conditions on the stability of materials used in pavement base have shown that the mechanical behaviour of lateriti...
View ArticleThick wall (6.6 mm wall thickness) plastic samplers, 97.2 mm in internal diameter (area ratio of 29%), 700 mm in length (length of soil sample 640 mm), with a cutting edge angle of 23°, without clearance and with a sampler head have been used to collect very soft clay samples at Sarapuí II test site. Very good to excellent an...
View ArticleSoil - tire mixtures have been recently used as construction materials in civil engineering projects. In this research, a number of undrained triaxial tests were carried out on the compacted clay-tire mixtures and their behaviors were compared with behavior of pure clays. The results of the tests indicate that adding more than about 20%-30% tire to the ...
