Rediset WMX, Sasobit, and Rediset LQ were used to manufacture WMAs. WMA was manufactured at 125°C (for a modified soft binder, 100/150) and 135 and 145°C (for a modified hard binder, 40/60), while the control hot mix asphalt (HMA) was manufactured at 145 and 155°C for soft and hard binder, respectively. Although WMAs manufactured using hard binder (40/60) were successfully produced at a temperature 20°C lower than that for the control HMA, its rutting performance was inferior to that of the control HMA with both Rediset LQ and Rediset WMX; while the rutting performance of the Sasobit-modified hard binder–asphalt mixture was equal to that of HMA because Sasobit increases the stiffness of binder. On the other hand, all WMAs produced at a temperature of 145°C performed better than or equal to HMA. In summary, binder grade has an important role in the dosage of additive, performance, and the reduction of the manufacturing temperature of WMA; on the other hand, WMA additives delay the degradation of rutting rate for mixes, the results also showed that WMAs have an equal performance to or better performance than that of conventional HMA.","PeriodicalId":17354,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44513432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several tests, including density, tensile, and hardness tests, have been conducted to investigate the effect of fiber content on the material properties of the developed materials. The test results found that only composites with 0% (PU) and 7% (PFg-7) fiberglass had met all Lloyd’s Register criteria. PFg-7 has a density of 1,098 kg/m3, a hardness of 66.15 shore-D, a tensile strength of 21.32 MPa, and an elongation at break of 47.06%, a higher hardness, elastic modulus, and yield strength than PU. PFg-15 achieved the highest density, hardness, tensile strength, elastic modulus, and yield strength, which were 1,228 kg/m3, 68.85 shore-D, 32.13, 2,176, and 30.89 MPa, respectively. The elastic modulus and yield strength of PFg-15 were 5.6 times and 3 times higher than those of PU but PFg-15 did not meet the elongation at break criteria.

The finding of this work is that the values of the aforementioned physical quantities decrease with an increase in the fluid-layer, which justifies the decaying nature of waves with depth.

A case study of placing compressed materials as the backfill of the retaining wall soil is analyzed in this study using PLAXIS 3D software. The results are compared with the experimental results and the results of PLAXIS 2D software. The purpose is to predict the performance of retaining walls under seismic loads. As a result, the research stated that the displacement with time was less than the results recorded depending on the program PLAXIS 2D.

For this problem, cylindrical coordinates were used, and a short wavelength “relative to channel width for its length,” as well as the governing equations of Carreau fluid in the Navier–Stokes equations. Then, the analytical solution has been investigated by using the regular perturbation technique. The solutions obtained by this perturbation are up to the fourth-order in dimensionless Weissenberg number ( W e {W}_{{rm{e}}} ). The performed computations of various parameter values such as velocity, shear stress, and wave frame streamlines are discussed in detail for different values of the Weissenberg number ( W e {W}_{{rm{e}}} ). The obtained results demonstrate that the fluid velocity increases with the increase in the value of W e {W}_{{rm{e}}} and some features of the wall, while the opposite behavior is observed with the increase in other features of the wall. Hence, the presented numerical analysis reveals many aspects of the flow by considering a non-Newtonian Carreau fluid model, and the presented model can be equally applicable to other bio-mathematical studies. The results were evaluated using the Mathematica software program. The Mathematica program was used by entering various data for the parameters, where the program showed the graphs, then the effect of these parameters became clear and the results were mentioned in the conclusion.","PeriodicalId":17354,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41610201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, the fresh concrete mixtures were tested for flow, while the hardened concrete specimen’s mechanical properties were analyzed. These tests include compression, splitting tensile, and flexural tests. The test results showed that the use of 5 and 10% CDE as a binder for cement replacement improved the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength of the UHPFRC. Furthermore, the addition of PF and GF contents of up to 1% of the concrete volume increased the compressive strength of the UHPFRC, while their contents of up to 1.5% improved their splitting tensile strength and flexural strength. It is also important to note that the workability of the UHPFRC reduced as the fiber and CDE contents increased. Finally, based on the experimental data tested in this study, the relationship between splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and compressive strength of the UHPFRC containing PF and GF were proposed. Moreover, the reduction in flow value, which is a function of the volumetric content of both PF and GF, with the CDE contents was also proposed.","PeriodicalId":17354,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66964844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Geotechnical challenges of such soils are represented by the hydro-mechanical behaviour during wetting–drying cycles due to the humidity and climate conditions. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) of unsaturated collapsible soils. In this study, three types of collapsible soils were investigated such as natural soils of sandy gypseous, silty loess, and artificial soil of gypsum–sand mixture. Determination of soil–water characteristic curve represented by wetting and drying paths has been done using a combination of the axis-translation technique (i.e. pressure plate device) and vapour equilibrium technique (i.e. salts solution desiccators) to cover a wide range of applied suction. The test results show that the air-entry value for all soils occurs at a very low suction range. At the boundary effect zone, the coarse grain size of the soil mass cannot hold the water molecules in the pore space, even with a low value of imposed suction. Moreover, the amount of hysteresis varied based on the geological formation and homogeneity of the soil fabric. Furthermore, SWCC has been interpreted by insignificant volume change and a slight reduction in void ratio, especially at high applied suction.","PeriodicalId":17354,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49023446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies on these composites’ thermal and tribological properties are still limited, so more in-depth studies could be carried out. The degradation of composite performance due to friction or exposure to humidity and hot temperature is another area that is worthy of further study.
