Microbial Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) has recently become a new technology for stabilizing the slope surface. The applicability of MICP, however, is limited in fine-grained soils due to the ...
Concrete creep weakens the spring stiffness of stud shear connectors (SSCs) and increases the long-term deflection of long-span composite beams. The time-dependent properties of SSC are of great ...
ABSTRACT: This study focuses on the determination of physical and mechanical characteristics based on in vitro tests, by using field samples for the Kampemba urban area in the city of Lubumbashi. At ...
