    Abstract: The idea of beams on elastic foundation has been widely applied in the design of geotechnical structures such railway tracks, rigid and flexible highway pavement, building and habour structures. Winkler was the first to present the analysis of a beam on an elastic foundation for the analysis of railroad track deflection, based on the premise that t... Show More

    Abstract: The necessity to overcome the challenge of cumbersome and time-wasting technique of strength determination of cement blends. Several avenues are been exploited in prediction of the mortar compressive strength of ternary cement blended comprising saw dust ash (SDA) and eggshell powder (ESP). The strength gains of the cement blends were determined an... Show More

    Abstract: The complexity of geotechnical engineerings such as slopes and Embankment is reflected not only in the change of various geotechnical parameters but also in the implicit, non-analytical, and even unverifiable nature of its functional models. Due to this feature, an example of a slope limit equilibrium model in algorithm development with an easy app... Show More

    Abstract: The construction industry needs to find cost-effective materials to enhance the properties of concrete. Cement and aggregate are the major constituents in concrete production. This has inevitably led to a continuous and increasing exploitation of natural materials to produce the constituents for concrete production. The result has been the depletio... Show More

    Abstract: Phase change material (PCM) can change its physical state (such as solid solid, solid liquid, etc.) with the temperature difference between environment and material as the driving force within a certain temperature range, so as to realize heat storage or heat release. This heat storage characteristic makes its application in building energy conserv... Show More
