Stone Waste as a Soil Stabilizer
Abstract: The rapid expansion of construction, mining, and stone-processing industries has led to the large-scale generation of stone waste materials such as marble powder, granite slurry, quarry fines, and sandstone residues. The indiscriminate disposal of these wastes poses serious environmental concerns, including land degradation, dust pollution, and contamination of surface and groundwater resources. At the same time, weak and problematic soils continue to present major challenges in geotechnical engineering applications, particularly …

High Strength Concrete Using Stone Waste
Abstract: Concrete is still the main material used in modern construction, and high strength concrete (HSC) is especially important for structures that need to be very strong. With more focus on being environmentally friendly, using waste materials from industries like stone in concrete has become a good way to make construction more eco-friendly. However, getting rid of stone waste, such as granite slurry, marble powder, and quarry dust, causes environmental problems …

Comparative Performance Study of Rubberized Concrete and Conventional Concrete: Strength, Sustainability, and Innovation
Abstract: The growing amount of car waste is a major problem around the world, and getting rid of old tires is especially important for the environment. Rubberized Concrete (RC) uses broken tire rubber as a substitute for natural materials in concrete, which is a smart and new way to help build in a more sustainable way. This review paper compares how well rubberized concrete works against conventional concrete (CC). The study …

Comparative Study of the Mechanical and Durability Performance of Interlocking Concrete Pavement Blocks
Abstract: Interlocking concrete pavement blocks (ICPBs) have emerged as a durable, modular, and sustainable alternative to traditional pavement systems. Their performance depends heavily on the mechanical characteristics of the concrete mix, block geometry, compaction technique, and curing conditions. This review compiles and analyzes research findings related to the strength, durability, structural behavior, and long-term performance of ICPBs produced using traditional and modified concrete mixes. Key parameters evaluated include compressive strength, split …

AI-Integrated Graphene-Modified Polymer Interfaces for Real-Time Crack Detection and Autonomous Healing in Smart Concrete Structures
Abstract: This study presents the design and development of a graphene-reinforced multifunctional polymer composite interface engineered for structural reinforcement, self-sensing, and autonomous healing applications in cementitious systems. A thermosetting polymer matrix embedded with graphene nanoplatelets (0.25–1.5 wt.%) was developed to establish a conductive polymer nano-composite network. Electrical characterization confirmed a distinct percolation threshold at ~0.6–0.8 wt.%, beyond which a sharp increase in conductivity was observed due to the formation of interconnected …

Managed Pressure Drilling for Improved Well Control: A Cross-Case Comparative Study (2015–2025)
Abstract: Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) has matured over the past decade from a specialist technique applied to challenging wells into a mainstream drilling capability spanning ultra-HPHT exploration, deepwater development, unconventional tight-gas multi-well campaigns, and naturally fractured sour-gas reservoirs. Despite this maturation, the operational question of which MPD variant should be applied to a given well has been addressed in the literature case-by-case rather than through structured comparative synthesis. This paper presents …
