The Development of Asphalt Mix Creep Parameters and Finite Element Modeling of Asphalt Rutting
(University of Waterloo, 2007-03-12)Asphalt pavement rutting is one of the most commonly observed pavement distresses and is a major safety concern to transportation agencies. Millions of dollars are reportedly spent annually to repair rutted asphalt ... -
Performance of Pillars in Rock Salt Mines
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-30)The viscoelastic and creep properties of salt create challenges in the design of salt mines. Salt undergoes steady state creep for a long period of time, and the time of failure is not easily predicted. Developing functions ... -
Relationship between Short-Term and Long-Term Creep, and the Molecular Structure of Polyethylene
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-02)Polyethylene has been studied from many different perspectives; a final application property perspective, in which the response of the material to loads is the topic; a micromechanical point of view, in which the macroscopic ... -
Towards a comprehensive framework for foam concrete mix design
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-23)Foam concrete is a low-density, highly workable cementitious material, created by blending a fine-aggregate paste with a foaming agent. Properties of foam concrete suggest potential for commercial exploitation of the ...
