TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have focused on the strength behaviour of the soil reinforced with randomly included sisal fibre. And the results of these tests have clearly shown a significant improvement in the failure deviator stress, Shear strength parameters (C and φ) of the studied soil.

TL;DR: In this article, three different types of soil have been considered using different percentage of fly ash ranging from 9 to 46% by weight of soil and the main objectives of the present investigation is to assess the usefulness of fly-ash as a soil admixture, and focused to improve the engineering properties of soil to make it capable of taking more load from the foundation structures.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the possibility of using high MnO and low MnO metallurgical slags on samples obtained from an alloy plant in India, and the results of the investigations provide a direction for profitable plans for making blended slag cements.

TL;DR: The behavior of precast concrete sandwich panels consisting of two thin R/C layers separated by an expanded polystyrene core is examined through experiments on prototype panels subjected to four-point bending, for different values of panel thickness and mesh size, with/without either shear-resistant ribs or conventional steel rebars (besides the wire mesh) in the bottom wythe as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of precast insulated concrete sandwich panels (CSPs) under through-thickness shear loading was investigated. But, the authors focused on the effect of the major parameters on the failure mode, through-THI strength, load vs relative displacement (between top and bottom wythes) behavior and load vs strain behavior of the CSPs.
