This work had as objective to carry out the construction of typical soil profiles of the main existing deposits in the city of Maceio from a database of SPT boreholes, built in GIS environment. In total, 1,686 records of drilling were specialized in sediments of the Barreiras Formation, Coastal Deposits, and lagoons-river, presenting the most frequent c...
View ArticleRegular soil improvement techniques customarily involve the use of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) despite the environmental issues related to the production process of such material. Hence, the establishment of alternative binders through the use of industrial and/or urban waste might be an option to overcome part of those problems. For this, a 2
This paper focuses on the study of the mechanical behavior of sandy limestone rocks. These rocks are provided from the historical caves of El Haouaria, which are located on of the North Eastern seacoast of Tunisia, and were created during the Punic era. Nowadays, these caves suffer from cracks, randomly distributed with a variable opening size. While, i...
View ArticleThe pozzolanic reactions, responsible for the resistance of soil-lime blends, are endothermic. As such, increasing the curing temperature in turn increases the strength of lime-stabilized soil. Recent research has shown that there is a maximum limit to the resistance of a specimen, based on its curing time. This study aims to predict the maximum tensile...
