Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRiver Embankment and Bank Failure: A Study on Geotechnical Characteristics and Stability AnalysisMd. Bellal Hossain, Toshinori Sakai, Md. Zakaria HossainProblem statement: Embankment failure and riverbank erosion are common problem in Bangladesh. Almost every year earthen embankments and riverbanks are facing problems like erosion, breaching or retirements. Among many reasons the major causes are considered due to the use of geotechnically unstable materials, improper method of construction, seepage and sliding. In this study the problem is considered geotechnical point of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 11,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBonding Property of Bituminous Crack Sealants in the Presence of WaterEllie Fini, Taher Abu-LebdehProblem statement: Crack sealing and filling is the most widely used maintenance activity for in-service pavements. If an appropriate sealant material is selected and properly installed at the appropriate time of the pavement life, it retards pavement deterioration and increases its service life at a relatively low cost. However, in some cases it is reported that sealants failed prematurely, mainly … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2011 · 8,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of IBS Precast Concrete Beam-Column Connections Under Earthquake Effects: A Literature ReviewPatrick Tiong Liq Yee, Azlan Bin Adnan, Abdul Karim Mirasa, Ahmad Baharuddin Abdul RahmanProblem statement: Despite demonstrating rather much benefits comparing to the conventional cast-in-place construction, the acceptance level of precast concrete building is still reportedly low in Malaysia. The implication imposed by stricter seismic design provisions would only worsen the matter. Approach: The main objective of this study was to identify the most appropriate type of beam-column connections to be introduced to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 17,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSocial and Environmental Accounting Education and Sustainability: Educators' PerspectiveNorhayah ZulkifliProblem statement: It is asserted that any attempt to account for sustainability will need to reflect the tensions which exist between conventional accounting with its record of wealth accumulation and its focus on the pursuit of profit and the demands for a just and equitable society. Consequently, the argument that the current accounting education is deficient in promoting ethical awareness, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 18 Dec 2010 · 9,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Polypropylene-Clay Composite Using Carbon Nanotubes as Secondary FillerSalawudeen T. Olalekan, Suleyman A. Muyibi, Qasim H. Shah et al.Problem statement: Current researches have shown that the thermoplastic-clay nanocomposites have failed to live up to the earlier predictions albeit they have found some niche area of applications. This research work therefore aimed at studying the effect of carbon nanotube as secondary filler on the mechanical properties of polypropylene-clay nanocomposite. Approach: Hybrid polypropylene-clay nanocomposite was prepared in the presence of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioengineering Assessment on Sloppy GroundMu'azu Mohammed Abdullahi, Nazri Bn Ali, Kamarudin Bn Haj AhmedProblem statement: Soft engineering solution of sloppy surface utilizes mechanical and hydrological effects of vegetation. The hydrological effects driven by transpiration, induces an increase in matric suction and consequently tension also increase along with the decrease of moisture. Therefore once the horizontal stress of the soil exceeds the limit of tensile strain of the soil cracks occurs. Approach: The negative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Risk Factors on Cardiovascular Vascular Diseases in MauritiusCheika Jahangeer, Maleika Heenaye-Mamode Khan, Naushad Mamode Khan, Shehzada JahangeerProblem statement: Recent studies provided clear evidences that Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) and risk factors of CVD are on the rise worldwide. It has been shown that countries which are in the developing stage are more at risk. Mauritius, being an island in its full swing of development and economic boom, is facing a huge problem in terms of health hazards, … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPullout Characterizations of Various Steel Fibers Embedded in Very High-Strength ConcreteSameer Hamoush, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Toney Cummins, Brian ZornigProblem statement: There is a real need for a fundamental understanding of bond and bond mechanisms in the newly developed Very-High-Strength-Concrete (VHSC) materials. The interfacial steel fiber/VHSC matrix bond tests are needed to characterize VHSC and to aid in the development of analytical models that describe bond behavior of this new material. Approach: This research investigated bond-slip characteristics of four … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInjection Molding of Titanium Alloy Implant For Biomedical Application Using Novel Binder System Based on Palm Oil DerivativesR. Ibrahim, M. Azmirruddin, M. Jabir et al.Problem statement: Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) has been widely used as an implant for biomedical application. In this study, the implant had been fabricated using high technology of Powder Injection Molding (PIM) process due to the cost effective technique for producing small, complex and precision parts in high volume compared with conventional method through machining. Approach: Through PIM, the binder system … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,520 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Trujillo Algorithm for Analyzing of StructuresH. Hashamdar, Z. IbrahimProblem statement: The Trujillo algorithm is indirect method and has been used in this study. The approach is based upon the principle of conservation of energy. Approach: Cable structures are very light and flexible and they undergo appreciable deflections when subjected to external loading. Results: Since all the main load-carrying members in cable structures are usually in tension, there are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,852 accessesView PDFCite
