Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

This chapter delves into the improvement of Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) compactness and strength by incorporating marine sediments from La-Goulette Harbor, Tunisia. The study explores the use of these sediments as aggregates to enhance the mechanical properties of RCC for pavement applications. Through the Compressible Packing Model (CPM), six mixtures were formulated and tested for compressive and tensile strengths. The results indicate that mixtures containing marine sediments exhibited higher strengths compared to those with traditional aggregates. The study concludes that the incorporation of marine sediments not only improves the compactness and mechanical resistance of RCC but also offers an alternative for the valorization of these sediments. The findings suggest that RCC with marine sediments can be effectively used in base-courses or surfacing-courses of roadways, providing a sustainable and economical solution.
