Mechanical Behavior of Fly Ash Concrete A Critical Review
Abstract: Concrete structure is the most common all over the world. Cement is the major ingredient of concrete. Though the raw materials needed for manufacture of cement are available in most parts of the world, many countries have severe shortage of cement, although their needs are vast. The search for suitable substitute for cement, either partially or fully, has thus become a challenge for planning the development of many of the …

Evaluation of The Resistance of Concrete by Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Steel Slag and Cement with Bentonite Powder
Abstract: According to the WHO, concrete is the third most consumed material by humans after food and water. Concrete consists of cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and water. In the production of cement, carbon dioxide is released into the environment, which becomes a big problem for environmental protection. Therefore, there is a need to modify the cement with some natural materials with pozzolanic properties. The aggregates, which are extracted from natural …

Prediction and Assessment of Lateral Displacement of Rock Mass Along the Length of the Horseshoe Cavern – A Numerical Modelling Approach
Abstract: The stability of the underground structures is a key to successful underground mining. Caverns are large underground openings constructed in rock mass for a variety of purposes. The properties of intact rock mass are generally overshadowed by the properties of discontinuities, if the discontinuities are present. Mechanisms of deformation and failure of underground openings in jointed rock mass are determined by the characteristics of the geometrical distribution of discontinuities. This …
