Centrifuge and numerical modeling of liquefied flow and nonliquefied slide failures of tailings dams (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2023-09)Tailings dams have relatively high failure rates throughout the world and the consequences of these failures often result in significant loss of life and damage to the environment and property. However, the triggers and ...
-
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2024-01)A study aimed towards assessing the variation in shaft capacity of piled foundations in swelling clays is presented. At the clay's in-situ water content, the results of pull-out tests on short-length piles revealed no ...
-
(Elsevier, 2023-01)INTRODUCTION : The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare 2 different access cavity designs in combination with 2 popular single-file preparation systems to see which combination preserves dentin, more specifically ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-02)This study presents a novel computationally efficient high-fidelity nonlinear FEA (NLFEA) methodology for prestressed RC bridges constructed in the UAE and seismically isolated with elastomeric bearings. Specifically, the ...
-
(Elsevier, 2023-12)At its core public transport integration is about the collaboration of actors. Collaboration is elusive and difficult to achieve, especially in developing countries where insufficient regulation and dispersed, quasi-formal ...
-
(Springer, 2024)Data-driven models utilizing powerful artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have been implemented over the past two decades in different fields of simulation-based engineering science. Most numerical procedures involve ...
-
(Springer, 2023-07)Currently, we are facing an energy transition due to pollution and depletion issues related to fossil energy sources. Among all the efforts to develop alternative green energy sources, there are other energy sources that ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-11)Please read abstract in the article.
-
(South African Institution Of Civil Engineering, 2022-05)Over the last 15 years South Africa has invested heavily in the upgrading of public transport. However, issues such as slow deployment, limited impacts, and financial underperformance of our budding Bus Rapid Transit ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2023)Concrete pavements are typically considered to be rigid pavements and are designed using principles based on the beam-on-elastic support equations as derived by Westergaard in 1926. Ultra-Thin Continuously Reinforced ...
-
(South African Water Research Commission, 2023-07)South Africa is in a critical power situation and is in dire need of additional generation capacity. Thus, renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and hydropower should be evaluated to identify highpotential and ...

(MDPI, 2023-03)Please read abstract in article.
-
(MDPI, 2022-01-27)Cement companies are significant contributors of the planet’s anthropogenic CO2 emissions. With increased awareness of the substantial volume of CO2 emissions from cement production, a variety of mitigation strategies ...
-
(Springer, 2022-08)Bleed water measurement is a critical part for the determination and prediction of the incidence of plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete. This research discusses the different bleeding measurement methods that are largely ...
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2022-11)A physical modelling approach was adopted to simulate the process of cave mining propagation at various horizontal to vertical stress state ratios, and image data was captured and used to characterize the resulting failure ...
-
Field and laboratory research into the undrained behaviour of tailings at the University of Pretoria (Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2022-06)Several high-impact tailings dam failures around the world in recent years have placed a renewed focus on the stability of tailings dams and pointed to potential shortcomings in traditional drained design and safety ...
-
(South African Institution Of Civil Engineering (SAICE), 2022-06)Global population growth and rapid urbanisation have resulted in the rapid transformation of natural topographies that are now dominated by engineering materials and structures. It is widely recognised that economic ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2022-12)The performance of railway track structure is influenced by the ballast shape properties including roundness, flatness, elongation, sphericity, angularity and surface texture. The challenge is how to accurately measure ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-07)INTRODUCTION : The aim was to compare the glide path and final preparation times of WaveOne Gold and TruNatomy in conjunction with two different endodontic access cavity designs in extracted human molar teeth. METHODS : ...
-
(IOP Publishing, 2022-09)This present paper focuses on the condition monitoring of train wheels utilizing an 3D printed rail pad that is embedded with widely available accelerometers and a strain gauge. This smart rail pad was used on a heavy haul ...
