Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBase Course Modification through Stabilization using Cement and BitumenS. M. Marandi, P. SafapourThe main objectives of this research was to analyze the use of combined cement and bitumen emulsion in base course stabilization in details and examine its replacement with conventional pavement in regions with low quality materials and limited construction period. To conduct the objectives, the research divided into three phases. Phase I involved the optimization of cement and bitumen emulsion. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Mesoporous Titania with Surfactant and its CharacterizationT. Benkacem, N. AgoudjilA mesoporous titania was obtained by gelation from Ti-alkoxide in acidic solutions with addition of surfactant cetyltrimetylammonium bromide (CH3(CH2)15N(CH3)3Br) using a sol-gel process. The effects of surfactant concentration on synthesis of mesoporous titania were studied. The structural characterisation was studied by differential thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction. Studies by X-ray diffraction showed that crystallisation of TiO2 powder occurs at … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Shot Peening and Polishing on the Pitting Corrosion Resistance of Stainless SteelOmar Badran, Naser Kloub, Musa Musa Al-TalAn experimental work was performed to study one of the major problems encountered in industry (i.e., pitting corrosion), which cost the industrial world billions of dollars every year. Stainless Steel 304L sheets were used in the present study, the main reason for using stainless steel is their corrosion resistance and it is the most widely used in process industries, but … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,328 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeo-Seismic Environmental Aspects Affecting Tailings Dams FailuresJuan M. Mayoral, Miguel P. RomoSeismic performance evaluations of tailings dams are essential for characterizing the geo-environmental risks posed by these earthen structures, which should include the geotechnical hazards implied by slope instability failure, free board loss and the potential release of contaminants. The observed damage is more important when liquefaction occurs on the dam body and foundation, which often leads to cracking, settlements, tilting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation on Three Dimensional RC Infilled Frame - RC Plane Frame Interactions With Slab for Seismic ResistanceSuyamburaja Arulselvan, K. SubramanianExperimental investigation was planned and conducted to study the influence of brick masonry infill and slab in a three-dimensional reinforced cement concrete frame. In this study, one-fifth scale 3D R.C frame representing single story, three bays with central bay brick infill at the sides and a long single bay without infill in the middle of the frame along loading direction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,313 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInoculation of a Poultry Isolate Salmonella enteritidis on Egg Vitelline Membrane: Survival and Growth in Egg Components after Different Refrigeration Storage TimesZ.R. Howard, R.W. Moore, I.B. Zabala Diaz et al.An in vitro study was designed to determine the extent of Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis survival and growth permissiveness in egg components isolated from shell eggs held at refrigeration temperature over an 8 week time period. Eggs were collected from a commercial laying facility at one-week intervals for eight weeks and stored at refrigeration temperature. After storage, eggs were dipped … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evaluation of Anti-Stripping Additives Mixing in Road Surface Pavement MaterialsTienfuan Kerh, Yu-Min Wang, Yulern LinMost road surfaces in Taiwan are paved with asphalt concrete but the phenomena of rutting, cracking and stripping of the pavement are frequently occurring due to the effects of traffic flow, thermal variation and water erosion caused by rain. In this study, a series of experiments were performed to examine the effectiveness of anti-stripping fillers, which include; rock flour, rock … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,911 accessesView PDFCite
