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 · 7,806 accessesView PDF Cite

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 · 7,330 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Boundary Conditions on the Behavior of an Anchored Reinforced Earth WallFaisal Hj Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Chee HaiThe finite element model is used to simulate the behavior of the full scale instrumented anchored reinforced wall. The validated finite element model is then used to carry out parametric studies to ascertain the influence of the boundary conditions on the behavior of the wall. The boundaries at the crest, facing and base of the wall are varied to study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,034 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaboratory Diameteral Fatigue Performance of Stone Matrix Asphalt with Cellulose Oil Palm FiberRatnasamy Muniandy, Bujang B.K. HuatStone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) is a gap-graded mix that is gaining popularity worldwide. Generally, gap graded mixes are thought to be weak in fatigue resistance. In this study, cellulose fibers were pre-blended in PG64-22 binder with fiber proportions of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0% by weight of aggregates. The fiber-modified binder showed improved rheological properties and showed that the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 8,984 accessesView PDF Cite
