A proposed methodology for the global study of the mechanical properties of cold asphalt mixtures [PDF]
[Abstract:] Despite having been used for decades, the structural performance of emulsion-treated materials has still not been investigated as intensely as in the case of hot-mix asphalt (HMA).

Models to estimate Brazilian indirect tensile strength of limestone in saturated state
There are a number of methods for estimating physical and mechanical characteristics. Principally, the most widely used method is regression, but recently, more sophisticated methods such as neural networks have frequently been applied as well. This paper presents the models of a simple and a multiple regression and neural networks –types Radial Basis ...

A new approach for understanding the mechanism of wellbore strengthening theory
To achieve fast, safe and economical drilling operations through formations containing natural fractures or vugs, all fractures and vugs must be perfectly sealed using proper fractures seal materials in a process called wellbore strengthening.

Water saturation induced changer in the indirect (Brazilian) tensile strength and the failure mode of some igneous rock materials [PDF]
The present study concentrates on water induced strength reduction and variation of the failure mode in indirect (Brazilian) tension tests of several igneous rock materials under three moisture cases of oven-dry, air-dry and fully saturated states.
