Geopolymer cements provide an alternative to the Portland cement used to manufacture structural concrete. The material commonly used to produce geopolymers is fly ash, w[...]

This dissertation presents an in-depth investigation into the performance of Engineered Water Repellent (EWR) soils for mitigating frost action, particularly in pavement [...]

The suitability of fly ash based geopolymer concrete as a replacement for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete depends on the mobility of elements from the material. D[...]

Carbon sequestration in geological formation is an ongoing effort of the research community to address the issue of curbing excessive anthropogenic CO2 emissions. This di[...]

The macroscopic properties of a polymer composite are significantly affected by the properties of the inclusions, size, shape, and distribution. Finite element (FE) model[...]

The byproduct of incinerated biosolids (biosolid ash) was evaluated for land application through laboratory and field testing of leachability and sorption capacity. Fiel[...]

This PhD dissertation focuses on three distinct areas of study: Inconel Alloy 740H,polycrystalline graphene, and tetragraphene (TG). These materials each have their uniqu[...]

This research involved a comprehensive experimental program was carried out to study compaction characteristics and associated engineering properties of test soils from t[...]

The hydration kinetics in blended cementitious systems with fly ash are quite different from those in conventional cementitious systems. The pozzolanic nature of fly ash [...]

Part - I: Coupling of peridynamics and the finite element method and modeling of creepOne of the important modes of unpredicted failure for large complex structures such [...]
