Study Of Compressive And Flexural Strength Of Concrete Using Bima Cement For National Road Reconstruction In Kebumen

Concrete is an important aspect of building construction, one of which is road construction. Concrete is used for road construction because it has the advantages of high compressive strength, easy maintenance, ease of formation, and easy to obtain components. Road construction using concrete is applied to the reconstruction of the Kebumen South Ring Road, where the Kebumen South Ring Road is a 9.07 km long national road. National roads are arterial and collector roads in the primary road network system that connect provincial capitals, national strategic roads, and toll roads. Therefore, construction on national roads requires strong and good materials on the Kebumen South Ring Road to optimize road use. In this study, the concrete is composed of Bima cement as Portland cement, coarse aggregate from Kebumen, fine aggregate from the Progo River, and water from drilled wells. The admixture was obtained from a Conmix HK 2. Subsequently, all ingredients were mixed using a mixer truck. The concrete mixture was molded into cylinders and blocks. In this study, the average results of the 5-day concrete compressive strength test were obtainedwhich is 373.42 kg/cm2 and 28-day-old concrete is 442.32 kg/cm2. The average result of the 5-day concrete flexural test is50.65 kg/cm2 and that of 28-day-old concrete was 60.73 kg/cm2. The results are in accordance with the general specifications of the Bina Marga, namely, 45 kg.

Nanosilica Revolution: Unveiling the Impact on Enhancing Performance in Oil and Gas Well Cement

Summary In recent times, numerous oil and gas wells have experienced diverse failures ranging from downhole plug malfunctions to compromised wellbore integrity, resulting in damage to aquifers, loss of assets, and posing significant economic and environmental hazards. The inclusion of nanosilica into oil and gas well cement emerges as a promising solution, demonstrating a positive influence on enhancing mechanical properties, such as compressive strength and durability. This study investigates the impact of nanosilica on the mechanical properties of Class G Portland cement slurry, aiming to enhance its application in the oil and gas industry. The influence of nanosilica on the cement compressive strength behavior of oilwell cementing systems directly set and cured under the condition of 110°C and 2,000 psi is studied. Test results indicate that the cement slurries containing 3% nanosilica experienced compressive strength enhancement by 40% compared with the base sample after 24 hours. The compressive strength test results are corroborated by further evidence from a permeability test as well as microstructure analysis of the set cement. The thermal stability of the set cement samples using thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) concludes that the sample containing 3% nanosilica has the lowest mass loss. Future research should focus on long-term durability studies and comprehensive mechanical property assessments to further validate the benefits of these nanomaterials in real-world conditions.

Comprehensive Study of Sub-micron Porous Titanium-zirconium Scaffolds Fabricated by Liquid Metal Dealloying

This article investigates the microstructure, mechanical properties and biocompatibility of ultrafine porous titanium-zirconium (TiZr) alloys synthesized by the liquid metal dealloying (LMD) at a temperature of 1023K for various immersion times. The dealloying of Ti20Zr20Cu60 precursors in molten magnesium causes to self-organize three-dimensional hcp-α structures by surface diffusion mechanism, wherein the ligament size, density and porosity range from 130 to 280nm, 2.8 to 3.2g/cm3 and 0.43 to 0.5, respectively. The compression test results of porous products indicate a perfect combination of high compressive strength (415−620MPa) and low elastic modulus (2.1−3.2GPa) matching that of the human bone. The maximum ligament size (280nm), density (3.2g/cm3) and compressive strength (620MPa) corresponds to immersion time of 600s; thereby, the mechanical characteristics can be tailored by modifying the process parameters. Meanwhile, the elastic modulus and compressive strength enhance almost linearly with increasing the relative density in accordance with the Gibson and Ashby model. The in-vitro experiments with MG-63 osteoblast cells also suggests the immersion time of 600s to better support the bone tissue ingrowth. The porous TiZr alloy fabricated by the new dealloying method can be considered as a novel biomaterial for dental implants owing to its unique microstructure, compressive features and biocompatibility.

FABRIKASI DAN PENGUJIAN TELAPAK KAKI PALSU JENIS SINGLE AXIS

Along with the increasing number of persons with disabilities, the need for prosthetic foot has also increased. However, the irony is that some of the products circulating in Indonesia are still imported from abroad, while the domestic product is quite limited and possesses some drawbacks. This study aims to study the production process of the single axis type of the right-side prosthetic foot as well as to evaluate the performance of this product. The prosthetic foot in this research was made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) resin and prepared with casting by pouring it into a pre-fabricated mold. A single-axis type of right prosthetic product could have been successfully made in this study with men's shoe sizes EU 42 and a mass of 654 g. The result of evaluation of the material and foot prosthetic product showed an average Shore hardness value of 54.3 HA. According to the result of compression test, this prosthetic product was also able withstand the highest compressive load up to 259.76 kgf. Finally, the result of fatigue test showed no damage on the foot prosthetic product until 90.000 cycle.

Sustainable Stabilization of Brown and Green Clays Using Industrial By-products

Background The disposal of industrial by-products and the rising cost of construction materials are critical issues globally, particularly in developing nations such as Jordan. Brown and green clay are considered problematic types of soft clay, as they fail to meet the necessary specifications for use in construction. Objective This study aims to assess the efficiency of Cement Kiln Dust (CKD) and Silica Fume (S.F.) as stabilizing agents for brown and green clays. The research explores how CKD and S.F. can be used as cost-efficient and eco-friendly alternatives to enhance the mechanical properties of soft clays, improving their viability for construction. Methods An experimental approach was used to investigate the impact of CKD and S.F. on brown and green clay stabilization. The study examines the effect of varying CKD and S.F. concentrations on the clays' plasticity, compaction, unconfined compressive strength, and consolidation properties. CKD was tested at four different levels (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%), as was S.F. (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%). Results The findings revealed a notable enhancement in the engineering properties and behavior of both brown and green clay, with reductions observed in the plasticity index (P.I.), compression index (Cc), compressive strength (qc), and maximum dry density (γd). Conclusion Adding 15% CKD to brown clay resulted in the most significant improvements after a curing period of 7 days based on the unconfined compressive strength test results.

An Experimental and Analytical Study on the Compressive Behavior of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) confined with GFRP Composites

This study investigates the axial compression behavior of confined circular concrete columns through a combined experimental and analytical approach. It examines the influence of the concrete strength, 8.5, 16, and 25 MPa, internal glass fiber percentage, 0.3-1.2 %, and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) confinement thickness, 0.8, 1.6, and 2.4 mm. The Glass Fiber (GF) percentage and GFRP thickness have a significant impact on the results of the uniaxial compression tests exploring both the load-deformation behavior and crack propagation characteristics of the specimens, ranging from 90 to 110%. The proposed confinement model demonstrates excellent agreement with the experimental data for the ultimate axial strain and across the investigated range of concrete strengths.

Soil-structure interaction effects on modal analysis of a 3D reticulated structure supporting plane rectangular shells

This paper aims to verify the interference of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the natural frequencies and on the respective vibration modes of a 3D reticulated structure supporting plane rectangular shells. This is done through a computational linear elastic 3D finite element model using EulerBernoulli frame elements, biquadratic Lagrangian thin shell elements and elastic translation springs for the soil at columns bases (representing pile embedded length). A convergence analysis is performed to determine the maximum mesh size and mass participation factors are measured to establish the number of considered vibration modes. Chosen elastic spring coefficients are extracted using polynomial linear regression applied to the results of experimental compressive and horizontal load tests of steel piles embedded in a silty clay soil. Using these parameters, nine models are processed via an eigen solver and obtained frequencies and some mode shapes are presented. It is found that, for the adopted approach and for the evaluated structure, there are not significant changes in modal response induced by SSI, being the mass distribution more important than soil stiffness in this case. Despite the results, this study indicates the need of further investigation to provide better measures about the interference of SSI on modal response of structures as the one analyzed in this research.

The aging behavior of Moso bamboo in natural weathering condition

Bamboo, recognized as an innovative green building material, is extensively utilized in practical engineering, with its durability in outdoor environments being of paramount importance. The internodes and nodes of bamboo collectively form the primary structure of the bamboo culm, exhibiting significant differences in their structural composition and fracture behavior. In this study, moso bamboo internodes and nodes were exposed to an outdoor environment for two years to investigate their aging mechanisms. The discoloration, dimensional stability, mass loss, and water absorption characteristics of weathered bamboo were assessed through physical property tests. Changes in the microstructure, cellulose crystallinity, and internal crack morphology of bamboo resulting from natural weathering were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and computed tomography (CT). Ultimately, the durability of moso bamboo was assessed based on the results of compressive tests. The results indicated that natural weathering could degrade lignin and hemicellulose on the surface of bamboo, disrupt the microstructure of vascular bundles and parenchyma cells, and impair cellulose crystallinity, leading to a reduction in mechanical properties. Moreover, compared to bamboo internodes, bamboo nodes exhibit a more complex fiber morphology. The presence of internal transverse fibers can significantly impact its compressive property parallel to the grain, but the enhanced spatial locking effect can also improve its durability perpendicular to the grain. This study enhances the understanding of biomass materials and provides valuable insights into the application of bamboo in outdoor environments.

Структурa і властивості матеріалів Fe—Al—Ga в області концентрацій, збагачених залізом

The structure and mechanical properties of materials of the Fe—Al—Ga system (in the concentration range of 78—82% (wt.) Fe), obtained by sintering at 1150 oC in Ar medium for 1 hour, were studied. The starting materials were mixtures of Fe, Al powders and crushed Fe—Ga ligature alloy of equiatomic composition. Seven mixtures were produced, of which two mixtures had a binare compo¬sition (% (wt.)): Fe—17,5Al and Fe—21,4Ga; and all the others were three-component, with gradual substitution of Al for Ga. The phase composition of the samples was studied by the methods of X-ray diffraction and local X-ray microspectral analyses. To determine the mechanical characteristics, the Brinell method was used, microdurometric studies were carried out, and mechanical tests of the samples were carried out under conditions of uniaxial compression. The effect of Al on the change in the porosity of Fe—Al—Ga ternary alloys and the maximum manifestation of the “swelling” effect for Fe—Al composition samples was established. It is shown that the main phase of the obtained materials is a solid solution based on Fe, in which Al and Ga are dissolved in the appropriate proportions. In the Fe—Al samples and in the samples of the ternary composition, there are local separations of phases containing, in addition to the main metals, carbon and oxygen in significant quantities. In the structure of Fe—Ga samples, carbon is not detected, and oxygen is present in a small amount. The results of the mechanical compression tests showed that the Fe—21,4Ga composition samples, like the pure Fe samples, are quite plastic and do not break up to a degree of compression of 75—82%. For materials with binary composition with Ga, an increase in the elastic range was recorded compared to pure Fe, and the replacement of a small proportion of Ga with Al (up to 2% by weight) in the material composition contributes to its strengthening. Keywords: Fe, Al, Ga, microstructure, phase formation, microhardness, mechanical compression characteristics.

Crashworthiness of multi-layer gradient corrugated sandwich circular tube structures

A novel multi-layer gradient sandwich tube design, which combines corrugated and circular structures, was developed in this study. The results of quasi-static compression tests and ABAQUS numerical simulations demonstrate that the energy absorption of the multi-layer corrugated sandwich (A333N666) is 147% greater than that of a traditional corrugated sandwich (A3N6). The crushing force efficiency (CFE) increased by 29.3%, and the specific energy absorption (SEA) improved by 36%. For single-layer corrugated sandwich structures, the crashworthiness index increases with the wave number. However, this rate of increase diminishes over time. The crashworthiness index also increases with the wave number for multi-layer sandwich structures, and the magnitude of this increase becomes increasingly pronounced. Notably, experiments and numerical simulations show that the effect of the amplitude gradient arrangement on the crashworthiness index is more significant than that of the wave number gradient. The amplitude gradient arrangement (A432N666) demonstrates the best performance, exhibiting a 42.4% increase in SEA and a 33% increase in CFE compared to the single-layer corrugated sandwich structure (A3N6). Overall, the multi-layer amplitude gradient design exhibits exceptional crashworthiness. The findings of this study may provide valuable insights for the design of thin-walled structures.

Properties of cold-deformed powder materials 12Cr18Ni10Ti AND AlSi10Mg obtained by selective laser melting

The article considers a combined technology which mixes selective laser melting (SLM) and longitudinal rolling of powder materials 12Cr18Ni10Ti and AlSi10Mg. The objective of the work is to experimentally establish the regularities of pressure treatment on the mechanical characteristics of the obtained SLM materials, namely on hardness and bending strength. A literature review was prepared, based on the information from which a batch of test samples were made from powders of stainless steel 12Cr18Ni10Ti and aluminum alloy AlSi10Mg. Pressure treatment of the resulting samples was performed using longitudinal rolling technology. The assessment of the high-altitude deformation of the 12Cr18Ni10Ti alloy samples was carried out using true (logarithmic) high-altitude deformation. The morphology of the raw materials was studied using an electron microscope. The mechanical properties of the materials were assessed by HRB hardness and bending strength. The results of radial compression tests on annular samples manufactured under similar technological parameters were analyzed additionally. Based on the results of the analysis, the dependence between stress and deformation was established, where for AlSi10Mg there is a smooth shape change under load, and for 12Cr18Ni10Ti there is a critical stress, at which an increase in deformation dynamics is observed. Scanning electron microscopy of the fractures of the AlSi10Mg material showed a more homogeneous structure of the rolled sample compared to the sample in the initial state, which is evidence of the positive effect of pressure treatment (within certain limits) on the density of the AlSi10Mg material obtained by the SLM method. Based on the results of the researches, a hypothesis about the interdependence of high-altitude deformation and hardness of the cold-deformed material 12Cr18Ni10Ti obtained by SLM was formulated and confirmed by the results of experiments. The bending strength limit of the AlSi10Mg powder material was established and the maximum bending loads for the 12Cr18Ni10Ti alloy was fixed. The dependences between stress and deformation of materials under radial compression and bending are shown. It has been found that longitudinal rolling of 12X18H10T powder material helps to reduce the resistance to bending force, but at the same time the hardness and elastic properties increase.

Enhancing concrete pavement performance using refuse derived fuel fly ash as a sustainable cementitious material

ABSTRACT The utilization of waste materials in concrete is becoming increasingly important for sustainability in construction. This research investigated the mechanical performance and environmental safety of concretes containing Refuse Derived Fuel fly ash (RDF FA), a waste product from waste incineration plants. The innovative mix design strategically used RDF FA as both cement replacement and cementitious addition in concrete. Compressive and flexural strength test results showed that RDF FA addition increased both compressive and flexural strengths, while RDF FA replacement decreased strengths (< 28 days cured) compared to those of traditional cement concrete. Microstructural and mineralogical analyses revealed dense C–S-H formation in RDF FA added samples, indicating improved hydration. In contrast, RDF FA replacement reduced cementitious products and hindered hydration. RDF FA’s high SiO2 content and favourable SiO2/CaO ratio enhanced pozzolanic reaction in RDF FA added samples, further improving strength development. Leaching test results demonstrated that heavy metal concentrations in RDF FA-modified concretes remained within environmental protection limits. Thus, with proper mix design, RDF FA has the potential to be a sustainable supplement for concrete, reducing industrial waste and natural resource use. This work provides an approach to balance enhanced concrete performance with environmental safety when using RDF FA.

Mechanical Characterization of Individual Needles in Microneedle Arrays: Factors Affecting Compression Test Results.

Background: This study aims to investigate the impact of test conditions on the results of the compression testing of microneedle arrays (MNAs). Methods: Uniaxial compression tests were conducted on polyglycolic acid-fabricated biodegradable MNAs. Load-displacement curves were obtained for varying conditions, including the number of microneedles (MNs) compressed simultaneously, compression speeds, and compression angles. Subsequently, the buckling load and stiffness were calculated, and the MN deformation during compression was observed. Results: The buckling load and stiffness per MN decreased significantly with a simultaneous increase in compressed MNs. The mean buckling load and stiffness of 52 MNs in single-needle compression tests were 0.211 ± 0.008 N and 13.9 ± 1.3 N/mm, respectively, with no variation among the three MNAs. However, a significant difference in buckling load and stiffness was observed among the MNs within the MNAs. Additionally, buckling loads and stiffnesses were significantly lower in certain MNs at the same location in different MNAs. Buckling load and stiffness decreased significantly during inclined compression compared to during vertical compression. While the tests evaluate the mechanical properties of MNAs, test results may vary depending on test conditions. Conclusions: Compression testing of the individual MNs comprising an MNA helps evaluate the mechanical properties of MNs and ensure the quality of MNAs.

Quasi-static and impact compression properties of glubam at different relative humidity conditions

Glued laminated bamboo (glubam), a product of bamboo lamination, presents a distinctive combination of eco-friendliness and mechanical strength. This study delves into the quasi-static and dynamic compression behaviour of glubam, examining the influence of key factors such as moisture content and carbonization. The experiment involved one control group and two groups of different carbonized degrees, with two relative humidity controls set at 65 % and 85 %. The results of the quasi-static compression tests revealed that higher moisture content reduced the ultimate stress and modulus of compression while enhancing the ductility of thick-strip glubam. Cross bamboo alignment bolstered the compressive strengths of longitudinal thin-strip glubam and provided considerable compressive capacity for transverse thin-strip glubam. Poisson’s ratios of glubam were also determined. During drop-tower impact testing, an input energy of 209.5 J resulted in the determination of the dynamic ultimate stress of glubam. The application of reasonable image procedures, supported by high-speed camera collections, aided in the efficient presentation of absorbed energy. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were employed to explore experimental results through the microstructure perspective.

THE EFFECT OF HEAT-TREATMENT ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF EXPANDED GLASS PARTICLE/A356 SYNTACTIC FOAM

This research investigates the manufacturing of metal syntactic foams (MSFs) using a packed bed of porous (2-2.8 mm) expanded glass (EG) within an A356 alloy matrix. To this end, the counter-gravity infiltration casting technique is employed to manufacture the specimens. The density of the MSFs ranges from 1.05 to 1.17 g/cm3, making it one of the lowest densities foams, attributed to the filler particles' low bulk density. The study investigates the influence of T6 heat treatment on the mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics of the manufactured MSFs. The mechanical properties of the MSFs are characterized under quasi-static compressive loads at 1 mm/min. After heat treatment, the compression test results indicate a significant enhancement in most mechanical properties. Compression strength and plateau stress are approximately doubled compared to as-cast foams for samples with similar densities. While energy absorption of the MSFs triples in heat-treated conditions. These improvements are attributed to changes in the matrix microstructure due to thermal treatment. Microstructural analysis reveals that Si particles, initially sharp and continuous within inter-dendritic boundaries, become blurry and discontinuous through spheroidization after thermal treatment. This hinders crack growth in the cell wall and mitigates the effects of casting defects and the columnar dendritic structure. The majority of mechanical properties in both heat-treated (HT) and as-cast (AC) foams exhibited an increase in density due to an increase in the matrix fraction. However, plateau end strain and energy absorption efficiency demonstrated an independent effect of heat treatment and density.

Preparation and characterization of a novel active sediment capping material (geopolymer) for inhibiting phosphate releasing from sediment

In situ remediation of sediment can effectively control the release of phosphate in sediment and improve water eutrophication. The essential question of this remediation techniques lies in the development of stable, high-efficiency, low-cost and easily available active sediment capping materials. This study synthesised a novel sediment capping material using bulk solid waste, and phosphate inhibition mechanism of the materials was explored. Results indicated that GSCM was prepared under the conditions of NaOH concentration of 3 M, hydrothermal temperature of 160℃, hydrothermal time of 36 h and the mass ratio of 40 wt% SS to 60 wt% FA. The result of batch adsorption and compressive strength test suggested that phosphate adsorption capacity and compressive strength of GSCM were 2.15 mg/g and 24.20 MPa, respectively. The characterization result showed that GSCM was composed of sodium zeolite, riversideite, grossular and fayalite, exhibiting a uniformly distributed slit mesoporous structure. The in-situ inhibition efficiency of GSCM to P ranged from 76.65 % to 86.72 %, exceeding that of commercial zeolite. The in-situ inhibition mechanism was controlled by sodium zeolite and riversideite, and concluded by the following:1) Substitution between [SiO4] tetrahedra (within the sodium zeolite structure), -OH (on the surface of materials) and [PO4], 2) Coordination of [PO4] tetrahedra with Al active site within the sodium zeolite structure, 3) Precipitation reaction between phosphate and slow-release of Ca2+ from the riversideite.

Crashworthiness analysis of splitting-expanding structures made from magnesium alloy

This paper aims to investigate the energy absorption performance of a splitting-expanding structure made from magnesium alloy through experimental investigations, computer simulations, and theoretical analyses. The results of the quasi-static compression test showed that the addition of the expansion deformation mode allowed the splitting-expanding structure to retain the excellent stroke efficiency exhibited by the splitting structure, while effectively improving the efficiency and stability of the structure’s energy absorption. The simulation results indicated that structural parameters, such as tube thickness (T), pre-cut depth (d), number of pre-cuts (N), and the friction coefficient between the die and tube (f), significantly influence the mechanical properties of the structure. An increase in ‘T’, ‘d’, and ‘f’, along with a decrease in ‘N’, resulted in an increase in both the mean crushing force and specific energy absorption of the structure. Increasing ‘d’ and decreasing ‘T’ and ‘f’ could effectively reduce the initial peak force of the structure. In addition, the load-carrying capacity of the structure decreased with an increase in ‘d’. However, as ‘T’ and ‘N’ increased, the change in the load-carrying capacity of the structure was non-monotonic. Therefore, selecting appropriate structural parameters was essential to achieve optimal overall performance of the structure. Finally, a theoretical model for the mean crushing force of the structure was established, taking into account both split deformation and expansion deformation. The error between theoretical and experimental results was less than 5 %.

Production of microneedle patches coated with polyvinyl-alcohol/sucrose/gentamicin sulfate for skin treatment

In this study, resin-based microneedle (MN) patches were fabricated using a digital light processing (DLP) printer. The needles were coated with gentamicin sulfate (GEN)-loaded with 13.3 % PVA/25 % sucrose solution by immersion. The SEM results showed that the coating was homogeneous and uniformly conical. Analysing the in vitro release profiles of GEN, it was found that it was ultimately released within 312 h. The compression test results demonstrated that GEN addition increased the compression strength to the value of 2.17 ± 0.01 N/mm2.

Ensemble machine learning models for compressive strength and elastic modulus of recycled brick aggregate concrete

This study delivers an in-depth analysis of predicting the compressive strength and elastic modulus of recycled brick aggregate concrete (RBAC). It assembles an extensive database of 633 compression test results and develops five ensemble learning models—random forest (RF), gradient boosting regression trees (GBRT), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), light gradient boosting machine (LGBM) and stacking (St). These models are evaluated against existing empirical formulas with respect to their effectiveness. The findings reveal that machine learning (ML) models outperform existing formulas: for compressive strength prediction, traditional models achieve a maximum determination coefficient R² of 0.38, whereas ML models attain an R² range of 0.91–0.94. For elastic modulus, the highest R² values are 0.44 for traditional models and 0.97 for ML models. Notably, the LGBM and St models excel in predicting compressive strength and elastic modulus, respectively. The study also identifies critical parameters influencing RBAC’s compressive behavior and highlights their impact trends. Remarkably, while the mass-weighted water absorption of coarse aggregates and the replacement ratio of recycled brick aggregates (RBAs) have less impact on compressive strength compared to the effective water-to-cement ratio, they become more influential for elastic modulus. Additionally, the decrease in elastic modulus due to higher RBA replacement ratios or increased mass-weighted water absorption of coarse aggregates exceeds the corresponding reduction in compressive strength. This research not only deepens the understanding of RBAC’s mechanical properties but also provides valuable predictive tools for civil engineering applications.

Lime Stabilization of Tropical Soil for Resilient Pavements: Mechanical, Microscopic, and Mineralogical Characteristics.

Lime stabilization is a sustainable technique due to its use of local materials, increased durability, reduced maintenance, and improved resistance to water action. This paper examines the impact of lime stabilization on the mechanical, microscopic, and mineralogical properties of a tropical soil. Two types of lime, calcitic and dolomitic, were tested at 3% and 5% by weight. Compressive, indirect tensile and flexural test results and statistical analysis revealed that calcitic lime mixtures had higher strength and stiffness, whereas dolomitic lime mixtures exhibited greater deformability with higher tensile strain at break. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that the soil's porous matrix closed within 7 days for both lime types due to flocculation, with increased matrix interlocking over time. The calcitic lime mixture developed a more closed matrix compared to the dolomitic lime, which showed weaker cementing. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated higher consumption of clay minerals and a notable reduction in calcium hydroxide peaks in the lime-treated soils. The study concludes that calcitic lime provides better pavement performance for stabilizing the soil, enhancing its engineering properties while also being sustainable by reducing the need for raw material extraction and improving resilience to climate-related issues such as floods.
