Monash University engineers have published findings on a faster method to dry road-base materials, with potential to reduce weather-related construction delays. The team, led by professor Jayantha Kodikara from the Monash Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, tested a hybrid drying approach combining microwave energy with hot airflow to dry compacted unbound granular materials – …
