DOI: 10.21660/2019.54.8325
Abstract: Silty soils are widespread in many countries, particularly in the United States, China, and India; hence it is essential to get an idea of the response of such soils under different forms of loading. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ma15176169
Abstract: Modifying the admixture of alkali-activated cementitious materials using components such as fly ash and fine sand may reduce CO2 emissions and conserve natural resources and energy. This study adopted strength testing, scanning electron microscopy, and… read more here.
