(EDP Sciences, 2023)Please read abstract in article.
-
(EDP Sciences, 2023)Expansive (or swelling) clays are the most prolific problem soil across Southern Africa and many parts of the world. Large volume changes due to seasonal wetting and drying cause millions of dollars’ worth of damage to ...
-
Implementing capillary pressure control measures to prevent plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete (Elsevier, 2023-09)Plastic shrinkage cracking occurs when fresh concrete is drying and restrained from deformation, which typically results in cracking. The tensile stresses causing cracking result from the negative capillary pressure that ...
-
(Elsevier, 2023-11)Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) offers a solution to the drawback associated with the production of cement and its use in construction. It also promotes the design of concrete in a post-cracking stage as the yarns bridge ...
-
Centrifuge and numerical modeling of liquefied flow and nonliquefied slide failures of tailings dams (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2023-09)Tailings dams have relatively high failure rates throughout the world and the consequences of these failures often result in significant loss of life and damage to the environment and property. However, the triggers and ...
-
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2024-01)A study aimed towards assessing the variation in shaft capacity of piled foundations in swelling clays is presented. At the clay's in-situ water content, the results of pull-out tests on short-length piles revealed no ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2023-07)The research presented in this thesis was motivated by two factors. Firstly, little route choice research has been undertaken in South Africa, especially in urban areas. This has resulted in significant gaps in our ...
-
(Elsevier, 2023-01)INTRODUCTION : The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare 2 different access cavity designs in combination with 2 popular single-file preparation systems to see which combination preserves dentin, more specifically ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-02)This study presents a novel computationally efficient high-fidelity nonlinear FEA (NLFEA) methodology for prestressed RC bridges constructed in the UAE and seismically isolated with elastomeric bearings. Specifically, the ...
-
(Elsevier, 2023-12)At its core public transport integration is about the collaboration of actors. Collaboration is elusive and difficult to achieve, especially in developing countries where insufficient regulation and dispersed, quasi-formal ...
-
(Springer, 2024)Data-driven models utilizing powerful artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have been implemented over the past two decades in different fields of simulation-based engineering science. Most numerical procedures involve ...
-
(Springer, 2023-07)Currently, we are facing an energy transition due to pollution and depletion issues related to fossil energy sources. Among all the efforts to develop alternative green energy sources, there are other energy sources that ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-11)Please read abstract in the article.
-
(South African Institution Of Civil Engineering, 2022-05)Over the last 15 years South Africa has invested heavily in the upgrading of public transport. However, issues such as slow deployment, limited impacts, and financial underperformance of our budding Bus Rapid Transit ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2023)Concrete pavements are typically considered to be rigid pavements and are designed using principles based on the beam-on-elastic support equations as derived by Westergaard in 1926. Ultra-Thin Continuously Reinforced ...
-
(South African Water Research Commission, 2023-07)South Africa is in a critical power situation and is in dire need of additional generation capacity. Thus, renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and hydropower should be evaluated to identify highpotential and ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-03)Please read abstract in article.
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2023)Many public transport systems around the globe cannot generate sufficient income to cover their operating and capital costs. Thus, financing public transport systems remains one of the challenges facing many cities. The ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2023)Apart from direct costs in the provision of transport, other indirect costs are generated amongst others through accidents, emissions, and congestion. However, in most instances, these costs are not borne by users of the ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2023)Sustainable Seas Trust (SST) is a non-profit organisation based in Gqeberha, South Africa, with a vision where the people of Africa and their seas flourish together. One of SST’s projects focuses on sea-based sources of ...
