Study of Shear Strength Behaviour of Soil With Kaolinite Mixture
Abstract: An experimental testing program was undertaken for evaluating the effect of kaolinite on the strength properties of locally available sand and soil. Strength depends principally upon the content of (1) water, (2) clastic materials and (3) plastic materials. Soils are primarily of two types (1) cohesionless soils in which the strength this produced mainly by the friction of clastic particles against one another, and (2) cohesive soils in which the …

Self-Curing of Concrete Incorporated with Polyethylene Glycol
Abstract: Concrete is a combined mixture of cement, aggregates and water with or without suitable admixtures. Curing is the process of sustaining the proper moisture content to stimulate optimum cement hydration immediately after placement and to achieve desirable strength and other properties. In conventional curing of concrete, this is achieved by external supply of water after mixing, placing and finishing of concrete. In practice, the conventional type of curing is very …
