A Bio-Wicking System to Prevent Frost Heave in Alaskan Pavements: Phase II Implementation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Water within pavement layers is the major cause of pavement deterioration. High water content results in significant reduction in soil’s resilient behavior and an increase in permanent deformation.

The Role of Patents in Circular Innovation: The Case of Sustainable and Recyclable Materials in the Textile Industry

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 967-1002, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines whether and how patenting advances circular innovation and therefore contributes to the sociotechnical transition toward a circular economy. Using the multilevel perspective (MLP) as a theoretical framework, we conducted a case study set in the empirical context of man‐made cellulosic fibers. These heavily patented fibers

Laboratory tests of the impact of stones on geotextiles and calculation model [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
Laboratory tests have been performed to test the influence of stone impact on a geotextile. According to the Dutch guideline for this type of structures, the vulnerability for stone impact should be limited for non-woven geotextile with a high elongation

Effect of Vertical Spacing Between Prefabricated Horizontal Drains on Vacuum Preloading of Dredged Slurry

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The vacuum preloading combined with prefabricated horizontal drain (PHD) is an effective foundation treatment method for high‐water‐content dredged slurry. As the key design parameter of PHD vacuum preloading technology, the vertical spacing of PHD directly affects dredged slurry consolidation efficiency. However, its optimal value has not been clearly

A circular economy approach for geotextile reuse following lake water filtration [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
Eutrophication in lake systems is intensifying. To reduce this possible scenario, a method for suspended solids and associated nutrient removal by a novel on-site remediation has been investigated, using nonwoven geotextiles as filter media.
