Considerations on the physical and mechanical properties of lime-stabilized rammed earth walls and their evaluation by ultrasonic pulse velocity testing [PDF]
This study examines the influence of moulding moisture content on the compressive strength, dry density and porosity of a rammed earth wall, using ultrasound as a complementary technique.

Abstract This study investigates the shear capacity behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams without stirrups incorporating recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). An extensive database comprising 269 experimental data points from 40 journal articles published between 2001 and 2025 was compiled, excluding specimens with recycled fine aggregate or fiber ...

Analytical modeling of reinforced concrete columns subjected to bidirectional shear [PDF]
Under general seismic loading, reinforced concrete columns may be subjected to lateral loads in more than one direction. Available experimental data on columns subjected to bidirectional forces indicate that higher levels of damage and a higher loss of ...

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa
Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Capability of Pocket Penetrometer to Evaluate Unconfined Compressive Strength of Baghdad Clayey Soil
Unconfined compressive strength represents an important parameter for soil investigation report test results because the values of cohesion and allowable bearing capacity can directly obtained from the relevant test especially if the clayey soil layers ...

Experimental Factors and Techniques for Pool Boiling Heat Transfer Enhancement: A Critical Review
ABSTRACT This review presents a comprehensive assessment of active strategies for enhancing pool boiling heat transfer, with a focus on techniques that do not rely solely on the boiling surface modification. It examines a broad range of methodologies including fluid additives, external fields, mechanical interventions, and thermal‐geometric tuning that

Physicochemical characterization of cement treated kaolin clay
The physicochemical characterization of the cement-treated brown kaolin clay is presented in this paper. The effect of cement on the strength and compressibility of clay samples, at different curing times and cement contents, is investigated.

Abstract Sea ice is situated close to the termini of many outlet glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic and has the potential to influence their dynamics and, therefore, their contribution to sea level rise. However, the nature, prevalence, and ice‐dynamic significance of sea ice‐glacier interactions remains subject to several open questions.
