Mechanical Characterization of Cemented Paste Backfill
Eng, 2023 Mechanical characterization is important to the design and analysis of cemented paste backfill (CPB) structures. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests have been widely used owing to their relative simplicity to characterize a material’s response to

Interfacial Bond Properties between Normal Strength Concrete and Epoxy Resin Concrete
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2021 It is necessary to pay attention to the bonding strength of the interface between precast normal strength concrete (NSC) and cast-in-place epoxy resin concrete (EMR) when using EMR as a repair or filling material or an overlay in bridges’ rehabilitation.
