RECTANGULAR CONCRETE BLOCKS FOR INTERLOCKING PAVING: USE OF SPENT FOUNDRY SAND AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR NATURAL SAND

MIX Sustentável
Spent foundry sand (SFS) is a solid waste generated in large quantities by the foundry industry. The use of the SFS as a substitute for natural sand is a more sustainable solution to address disposal issues. In this study, rectangular concrete blocks were developed for use in paving with total replacement of natural sand by SFS contaminated with ...

Critical shear crack shapes in slender reinforced concrete beams with and without shear reinforcement

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The accurate prediction of the shear capacity of reinforced concrete underpins the efficient and safe design of concrete buildings and infrastructure. Disagreement remains about shear mechanisms and the modeling of shear resistance. For slender beams without shear reinforcement, critical shear crack (CSC) models have attracted interest.

Mechanisms Of Fracturing In Structures Built From Topologically Interlocked Blocks [PDF]

, 2004
Failure of materials is in many cases associated with initiation and subsequent propagation of macroscopic fractures. Consequently, in order to increase the strength, one needs to inhibit either crack initiation or propagation.

Coupling GIS with Stormwater Modelling for the Location Prioritization and Hydrological Simulation of Permeable Pavements in Urban Catchments [PDF]

, 2016
Permeable Pavement Systems (PPS) are an alternative to conventional paving systems that allow water to filter through their layers instead of running off them. They are structural source control Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS), which can contribute to
