Influences of Particle Characteristic and Compaction Degree on the Shear Response of Clinker Ash

Clinker ash is regarded as a granular waste of coal combustion but potentially employed as a recycled and light-weight backfill material for retaining wall and embankment in recent years. The physical, particle, compaction and mechanical properties of six selected types of clinker ash were thoroughl...

Civil engineering (General) Clinker ash is regarded as a granular waste of coal combustion but potentially employed as a recycled and light-weight backfill material for retaining wall and embankment in recent years.
