..., and linear shrinkage tests, were performed on untreated and treated soils. Test results showed that the utilization of quarry dust as a co-additive significantly improved the strength and durability of the soil and reduced the shrink-swell potential to a greater extent than lime treatment alone...

... is used as an alkaline activator solution for geopolymerization. An attempt is further made to identify the optimal dosages of geopolymer by evaluating the strength and durability characteristics of geopolymer-treated black cotton soil mixtures. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were...

...PM Santi; JD Higgins Durability of shales and other weak rock is an important parameter describing the material's susceptibility to breakdown upon exposure to water or during construction work. While laboratory methods have been developed to measure durability, no correlations between laboratory...

...AE Lord, Jr; YG Hsuan; RM Koerner The mechanical durability of polyethylene geomembranes is considered in this technical note. Polyethylene plastic pipe research has shown that there are universal factors for shifting high-temperature failure (short time) data to low temperatures (long time). Data...

.... In the recommended standard DMSO accelerated weathering test, aggregates in the particle size range of 2.4 to 4.8 mm are immersed in a container of DMSO for a period of five days. The mass loss determined by re-sieving the material on a 2.4-mm (No. 8) sieve after five days immersion provides a measure of durability...
