Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUse of the Nere Pod (Parkia Biglobosa) for the Improvement of Mechanical Properties of SoilsSinko Banakinao, Sonnou Tiem, Kodjo Attipou et al.Buildings made of unbaked clay have some advantage in terms of production cost. However, they have some inconveniences concerning their mechanical performance, particularly their resistance to weather. The objective of this study is to minimize these disadvantages and to maximize the benefits of such buildings to make them more viable. For this purpose, a method based on a traditional practice … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 16 Feb 2017 · 7,851 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffect of Different Ages of a Rehabilitated Forest on Selected Physico-chemical PropertiesRajeswari A.P. Murugayah, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: This research was important because of still lack of information about rehabilitated tropical forest age effect on infiltration rate. The objectives of this study were to determine the influence of age of forest on soil water infiltration rate and to evaluate the influence of forest age on the relationship between water infiltration rate, soil organic matter and soil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,104 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordInvestigating the Effects of Landfill in Azad-Shahr City on the Physicochemical Properties of GroundwaterSara Abdollahi, Safieh Javadinejad, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Vijay P. SinghLocations near landfills have a lot of potential for contamination of groundwater, because there is a high potential for contamination with emulsion in these areas. In this study, the quality of physic chemical and carbon-organic materials (TOC) of water wells around landfill of Azad-Shahr city was investigated. To accomplish this purpose, sampling of water from seven deep wells around the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2019 · 7,925 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAutomatic Measurement of Drilling Parameters to Evaluate the Mechanical Properties of SoilsDaniele Pettinau, Pierpaolo Oreste, Marilena Cardu, Davide GuidarelliAny underground work, carried out either to perform excavations, should be based on detailed knowledge of the geological, hydrogeological and geomechanical conditions of the underlying materials. The continuous automatic diagraphy is a test that consists in the continuous surveying of drilling parameters, with total destruction of the core, which can be used, together with geognostic probing surveys and a detailed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2013 · 7,546 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordProposed Reliability Techniques on Soil and Rock ExcavationsS. TangchawalProblem statement: Assessment of the ground mass excavation is normally done by the deterministic method. A quantitative indication of mass stability provides as an index term known "the Factor of Safety (F.S.)". There are uncertain to some degrees, such as only a single value of mass properties is used or variation in geologic conditions, computed values of F.S. are never … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2012 · 7,411 accessesView PDF Cite
