(University of Pretoria, 2010-04-15)The non-destructive measurement of deflection basins has come a long way from measuring only maximum deflection or radius of curvature and using empirical relationships in rehabilitation design. New equipment was developed ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2008-07-28)Please read the abstract in the section, 00front, of this document
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)The vertical dynamic behaviour of machine foundations subjected to vertical dynamic loading was investigated for surface and embedded foundations. The responses of these machine foundations were determined using analytical ...

(University of Pretoria, 2007-11-21)Please read the abstract (Thesis Summary) in the section, 00front of this document
-
(University of Pretoria, 2011-02-14)Unpaved mine haul roads provide the principal means of material transport on surface strip coal mines. With the expansion of surface mining in South Africa and in particular coal strip mining, the use of ultra-heavy ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2008-05-06)SANITATION, PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT The approach to sanitation worldwide should be ecologically sustainable, i.e. concerned with protection of the environment. This means that sanitation systems should neither ...

Deterioration of railway track due to dynamic vehicle loading and spatially varying track stiffness (University of Pretoria, 2009-01-13)Please read the abstract in the section 00front of this document
-
(University of Pretoria, 2023-07)The research presented in this thesis was motivated by two factors. Firstly, little route choice research has been undertaken in South Africa, especially in urban areas. This has resulted in significant gaps in our ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2021)Energy is the lifeblood of worldwide economic and social development. In recent years, South Africa (SA) has experienced local energy shortages that have resulted in interruptions in the supply of electricity, referred to ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2023-07)Hydrokinetic turbine deployment in inland water reticulation systems holds untapped potential for future development in renewable energy. However, prior to implementation, it is crucial to understand the hydrodynamic ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is an ultra-high strength concrete with superior mechanical properties. The high compressive strength (more than 150 MPa) and high ductility make UHPC a suitable material for manufacturing ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2013)Unbound granular material is used in the pavement structure and usually comprises the bulk of the structural and foundation layers of a typical South African pavement. The term ‘unbound granular material’ refers to the ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2009-04-28)The behaviour of cohesionless soils is known to be influenced by the method of reconstitution. It is generally accepted in the literature that different reconstitution methods produce samples of varying fabric and thus ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2020)The aim of the research is to investigate the effect of increased axle loading on saturated and unsaturated railway foundation materials for heavy haul applications. The research methodology comprises of a literature review ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 1991)The proper densification of the separate pavement layers forms an integral part of road construction. Many problems, are, however, experienced in this area. Because of a lack of knowledge the compaction of untreated ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2007)Evaluating the safety of unreinforced concrete structures, such as concrete dams, requires an accurate prediction of cracking. Developing a suitable constitutive material model and a reliable computational procedure for ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2004)In the recent past, as more farm power is being demanded on farms, due to increased farm sizes and operating speeds, larger and heavier farm machines are deployed in various farming operations. Their cumulative negative ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2011-10-14)An innovative pavement system known as Ultra Thin Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (UTCRCP) was recently developed in South Africa. The technology is currently being implemented on some major routes in the country. ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2011)The ever-increasing demand for energy due to industrialization and population growth necessitates the combustion of more coal , which results in enormous fly ash production. The scarcity of pot able water as well as high ...
