In Peru, socio-environmental conflicts related to the development of mining-metallurgical processes and the responsible disposal of mine tailings have become central issues for accepting mining projects, especially regarding building relationships of...
Stope backfilling with mine wastes has become a common practice in underground mines worldwide. Despite the increasing popularity in paste and rock fills, hydraulic fill made of classified mill tailings or sands remains commonly used in many mines. W...
Modifying weathered argillaceous slate (WAS) to fill the subgrades of high-speed railways not only leads to obvious environmental benefits but also significantly saves natural resources. Previous studies have used several additives together with ceme...
Cement-stabilized dredged sediment (CDS) when used as a new road construction material cannot only solve the problem of abandoned sediment disposal, but also effectively save natural soil resources. This study aimed to evaluate the strength and perme...
The “Marrón Emperador” ornamental stone is known for its characteristic deep brown colour filled with white spots and veins. It consists of a brecciated dolostone with different generations of calcite/dolomite veins and veinlets th...
This study aimed to examine the marginal seal between various commercial temporary restorative materials and exposed dentin/built-up composite. Sixty bovine incisors were cut above the cemento-enamel junction, and half of the dentin was removed to fo...
Pervious concrete is one of the emerging sustainable materials that has recently gained the attention of many researchers. The importance of pervious concrete mainly depends on its application and on a modern integrated approach in which it is employ...
Background: The emergence of new hydraulic calcium silicate cements has revolutionized endodontics, addressing the limitations of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). The aim of this study is to assess and compare the marginal adaptation of two calcium...
The building of civil engineering structures on some soils requires their stabilisation. Although Portland cement is the most used substance to stabilise soils, it is associated with a lot of environmental concerns. Therefore, it is very pertinent to...
Hydraulic fracture morphology and propagation mode are difficult to predict in layers of the various lithological strata, which seriously affects exploitation efficiency. This paper studies the fundamental mechanical and microscopic properties of the...
Ultrafine hydraulic binder grout injection is a technique utilised for repairing masonry, either to connect sections, seal joints, or fill voids due to its great capacity for penetration and higher mechanical strength than lime grout. In this researc...
This study aimed to evaluate the color change caused by hydraulic cements after 3 years in vitro by simulating their use in regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) and to quantify the color change after external bleaching with 40% hydrogen peroxide a...
Riverbank erosion is a significant natural disaster that is prevalent in the deltaic regions in Bangladesh, resulting in loss of land, crops, and settlements. This research work is concentrated on the Satkhira Koyra area and is oriented towards a com...
As part of this study, mechanical property tests were carried out at different stages with different curing temperatures to elucidate the effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of concrete. The curing temperatures were laboratory curing t...
This study aims to develop a novel mine backfill material called foam mine fill (FMF). A cellular structure is achieved by incorporating a premade foam into the backfill mixture using an air-entraining agent. FMF samples were prepared with copper-nic...
Cemented paste backfill (CPB) is a cemented void filling method gaining popularity over traditional hydraulic or rockfill methods. As mining depth increases, CPB-filled stopes are subjected to higher confining pressures. Due to the soil triaxial appa...
Cemented tailings backfill (CTB) plays an important role in mine filling operations. In order to study the long-term stability of CTB under the dynamic disturbance of deep wells, ultrafine cemented tailings backfill was taken as the research object,...
A cementitious paste fill (CPF) ensures the long-age stability of underground cavities. Recently, superplasticizers, specifically ones that are polycarboxylate ether-based, have been incorporated to enhance CPF performance, yet their long-term effect...
This study assessed the antibacterial characteristics of the dentin/material interface and dentin surfaces exposed to experimental hydraulic calcium silicate cement (HCSC) with or without bioactive glass (BG) replacement (20% or 40%) or mixed with a...
This study aims to explore the static mechanical characteristics of coral aggregate seawater shotcrete (CASS) using an appropriate mix proportion. The orthogonal experiments consisting of four-factor and three-level were conducted to explore an optim...
Cement–based mortars are essential in both modern construction and heritage conservation, where balancing mechanical strength with material compatibility is crucial. Mortars containing ––binders with low hydraulic activity, such as...
Fluid flow prediction in clastic heterogeneous reservoirs is a universal issue, especially when diagenetic development supplants structural and depositional controls. We consider this issue in the Middle Miocene Belayim Formation of the Gulf of Suez,...
Civil and geotechnical researchers are searching for economical alternatives to replace traditional soil stabilizers such as cement, which have negative impacts on the environment. Chitosan biopolymer has shown its capacity to efficiently minimize so...
Studies related to oil and gas wells have attracted worldwide interest due to the increasing energy shortfall and the requirement of sustainable development and environmental protection. However, the state of oil and gas wells in terms of research ch...
The efficiency of carbon utilization and storage within the Pennsylvanian Morrow B sandstone, Farnsworth Unit, Texas, is dependent on three-phase oil, brine, and CO2 flow behavior, as well as spatial distributions of reservoir properties and wettabil...
Plasma stimulation is a form of waterless fracturing as it requires that only the wellbore be filled with an aqueous fluid. The technique creates multiple fractures propagating in different directions around the wellbore. The intent of this paper is...
