<p>Adhesive mortar for tiles can be significantly improved by modification. Why should sprayed concrete not benefit similarly for various applications? This question has been investigated through large-scale tests in a tunnel cross passage, in an access gallery ...

Current advances in roof support automation require a fast and effective skin reinforcement of underground mine roadways. To satisfy these needs a strong and tough fibre reinforced polymeric alternative is emerging as a logical substitute to the old steel ...

<p>Rebound is a significant factor when evaluating the quality and performance of a<br />construction site using shotcrete. Rebound modifies the characteristics of shotcrete and must be disposed of. Thus a reduction in rebound becomes both a technical and ...

<p>The dynamic and static loading test on instrumented FRP piles conducted in this project demonstrated that these piles can be used as an alternative engineering solution for deep foundations. The engineering analysis of the laboratory and field test results ...
