Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Sodium Fluoride on Cancellous Bone Defect Healing in RatsGhafour Mousavi, Daryoush Mohajeri, Mostafa Rezaei et al.Problem statement: The purpose of this study was to histopathology and biomechanics evaluate the effect of sodium fluoride on cancellous bone defect healing in rat model. Approach: The experiment was conducted on 40 male adult SD rats which were divided into four groups of control and experiments. After induction of general anesthesia, a hole in size of 2×3 mm in … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Jun 2011 · 7,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanical Strength and Durability Properties of High Performance Mortar Containing Densified Silica FumeCheah Chee Ban, Mahyuddin RamliProblem statement: Numerous data and information on pozzolanic reaction and microfiller properties of silica fume were derived from laboratory investigation on silica fume in undensified form. Currently, due to low bulk density of undensified silica fume which poses problem in transportation and handling of the material, silica fume are commercially supplied in densified form. Densification process used to increase bulk … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFreezing and Thawing Durability of Very High Strength ConcreteSameer Hamoush, Miguel Picornell-Darder, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Ahmed MohamedProblem statement: The newly developed Very High Strength Concrete (VHSC), having compressive strengths of 29 ksi and flexural strengths of 6 ksi, represents a breakthrough in concrete technology. Study to further enhance the properties of this new concrete is continuing. Approach: The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of exposing Very High Strength Concrete (VHSC) specimens to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2011 · 8,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluences of Short Discrete Fibers in High Strength Concrete with Very Coarse SandMahyuddin Ramli, Kwan Wai HoeProblem statement: High Strength Concrete (HSC) normally content high cementitous amount and low water binder ratio. However, these would cause substantial volume changes to the concrete and therefore affected the strength development. In addition, the brittleness of HSC was increased when silica fume used as partial cement replacement to achieve high strength. Approach: This study discussed the effects of incorporated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRational Mix Design Approach for High Strength Concrete Using Sand with very High Fineness ModulusKwan Wai Hoe, Mahyuddin RamliProblem statement: Production of concrete is always deal with inconsistency. Sources of variation like materials from different geographical basis, mix design method, fineness of aggregates and so on will attribute to different level of achievement of the concrete. Even though researcher had verified that higher fineness modulus of sand would yield better performance for the concrete, but so far there … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,217 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Mix Proportion of High Performance Mortar for Structural ApplicationsCheah Chee Ban, Mahyuddin RamliProblem statement: Mortar mix is a major construction material in fabrication of ferrocement structural elements. However, there have been scarce amount of technical data available on suitable mix proportion to achieve structural grade mortar with specific strength requirement and adequate level of workability for proper placement into construction formwork. Moreover, current practice in ferrocement construction work which uses mortar mix … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 8,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Mixing Ratio and Size of Egg-Shell on Boiling and Compression Test of Mixed CharcoalBopit Bubphachot, Rujipas Seeladlao, Songchai WiriyaumpaiwongProblem statement: The use of waste material is one of the options to add value to the residue. Nowadays, solid fuel development is necessary in current situation due to high price fossil fuel and the reduction of resource. Wood charcoal is widely used in the country which has abundant of forest. Becoming charcoal, it needs to be burnt under optimum … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,644 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Palm Fiber on the Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Concrete Crushed BrickMahyuddin Ramli, Eethar Thanoon DawoodProblem statement: Researches has been conducted worldwide on a large number of natural or artificial lightweight aggregates. In spite of many of the researches of using natural fibers show considerable promise, the use of natural fibers to improve the properties of lightweight concrete still required to be a subject of further research and investigation. Approach: This experimental investigation was carried … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Comparison between Unconfined and Confined Condition of Foamed Concrete Under Uni-Axial Compressive LoadMohd Zairul Affindy Abdul Rahman, Ahmad Mujahid Ahmad Zaidi, Ismail Abdul RahmanProblem statement: Foamed concrete has become most commercial material in construction industry. People in industries were come out with the new mix design of foamed concrete to meet the specification and the requirements needed. Approach: This is because foamed concrete has the possibility as alternative of lightweight concrete for producing intermediate strength capabilities with excellent thermal insulation, freeze-thaw resistance, high-impact … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,637 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Models for Hardened Properties of Self-Compacting ConcreteArabi N.S. Al Qadi, Kamal Nasharuddin Bin Mustapha, Hashem Al-Mattarneh, Qahir N.S. AL-KadiProblem statement: For predicting workability and hardened properties of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) no well known explicit formulation. Approach: Statistical models were carried out to model the influence of key mixture parameter (cement, water to powder ratio, fly ash and super plasticizer) on hardened properties affecting the performance of SCC. Such responses included compressive strength at 3, 7 and 28 days … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,140 accessesView PDFCite
