(Thomas Telford, 2010-12)Foamed concrete is nowadays considered an attractive building material as a result of flexible production technology and excellent target properties, along with economic benefits. Heat generated in foamed concrete during ...
-
(Thomas Telford, 2011)Undisturbed sampling of gold tailings, especially under the water table, is difficult and in many cases impossible. For this reason laboratory testing of tailings is generally conducted on reconstituted material. It has ...
-
(Routledge, 2011-03)Measuring and understanding the transport expenditure patterns of households and individuals is critically important for formulating pro-poor transport policies, as well as for monitoring their effectiveness. This paper ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2011-04)The Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Pretoria has recently been awarded a grant from the National Research Foundation (NRF) to acquire a geotechnical centrifuge. Geotechnical centrifuges are used ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-05)Anthropogenic pollution is an unavoidable consequence of both producing energy from coal and desalination of water. Coal ash and brines are partially utilised due to vast volumes and stringent legal environmental requirements. ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-07)Coal serves as the primary energy source in most parts of the world. It is a fact that coal combustion yields enormous quantities of fly ash some of which are either hydraulically placed or dry dumped. The current study ...
-
(National Academy of Sciences, 2011-07)Stabilization of unpaved (mostly low volume) roads using non-traditional stabilizers has received attention over the last number of years as various types of these stabilizers are developed and become available. Evaluation ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-07)In this paper a simple, but effective methodology to simulate opening mode fracture in high performance fibre reinforced concrete is presented. To obtain the specific fracture energy of the material, load-deflection ...
-
Effect of fly ash characteristics on the behaviour of pastes prepared under varied brine conditions (Elsevier, 2011-07)To meet the escalating demand of energy more coal ash and brines are inevitably produced as by-products. Large volumes of these wastes and increasing environmental awareness necessitate the development of more sustainable ...
-
(Springer, 2011-10)The splitting tensile test is a much used method to determine the tensile strength of concrete. The conventional test procedure is known to have a number of limitations related to size effect and boundary conditions. ...
-
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011-12)Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) brings favourable properties to concrete pavements. The use of the material is limited by the lack of an appropriate analysis method. This paper is the second in a series of two aimed ...
-
(Water Research Council, 2011-12)An investigation was carried out with the primary objective of ascertaining whether it is possible to develop a model for determining the feasibility of retrofitting hydropower to existing dams in South Africa. The need ...
-
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011-12)Steel-fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) brings favorable properties to concrete ground slabs. The use of the material is limited by the lack of an appropriate analysis method. This paper is the first in a series of two ...
-
(University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research and the American Coal Ash Association, 2012)Please read abstract in article.
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2012-04)No abstract available.
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2012-04)Traditional arguments for maintaining riding quality of pavement are expanded in this paper to examine the effects of deteriorating riding quality on vehicle operating costs, freight damage and logistics. The objectives ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2012-04)Introducing modern technologies into an existing market can be a challenge, but most would agree that the recipe for success must bring together simplicity, technical performance, time savings, high safety and quality ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2012-04)In South Africa, timber-trussed roofs supporting concrete tiles have for many years often been braced solely by means of diagonal braces. Failures have shown that the diagonal brace was inadequate for larger span roofs, ...
-
(American Society of Civil Engineering, 2012-04)Surfacing seals consist of a combination of bitumen and aggregate, and are used to provide an all-weather surfacing to protect underlying layers and provide safe access to vehicles traveling on a road. Analysis of a ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2012-05)Of the many requirements modern railways must meet, those of safety, speed, efficiency and cost-effectiveness are paramount. These requirements have been the driving force for railway engineers to develop new and innovative ...
