Stabilisation of peat with colloidal nano and micro silica [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2022 Peat occurs abundantly in wetlands across Iran, particularly around the disappearing Urmia Lake. Conventional chemical stabilisation has been widely used to tackle the high compressibility and shrinkage potential of peat. Whilst effective, this generally

Microscopic characterization and strength characteristics of cemented backfill under different humidity curing conditions [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Under different exploitive conditions, the humidity levels of the backfill stopes are not the same. Humidity greatly affects the strength and microscopic characterization of the backfill. Cemented paste backfill (CPB) specimens were cured using 0, 30, 70%
