Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfluence of Acid Frosting on the Microstructure Characteristics and Mechanical Strength of Eroded Soda-Lime-Silica Glasses by SandstormAkinwumi Gbenga Owoyemi, Grace Olufunke Matthew, Seun Samuel OwoeyeMost glass products such as cars windshields, solar panels protecting glass and windowpanes are exposed to unavoidable sandblasting effects especially in areas prone to sandstorms. This sand impingement results into micro cracks and surface flaws which altered the structure and strength of the exposed glasses thereby lowering their service life. In this regard, attempt was made in this research to … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 25 Apr 2019 · 6,918 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Study of Self-Healing Concrete in Hot Desert ClimateBatoul Chamali, Moayyad Al-Nasra, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThe hot and dry desert climate is characterized by high temperature and high humidity. This affects the strength of concrete negatively by the difficulty of providing proper curing and by generating early micro-cracks due to the high temperature. These two issues have been addressed in this study by adding calcite precipitating bacteria to deal with the micro-cracks and by adding … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 16 May 2019 · 8,041 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Effects of Application of Silica Fume to Reduce Asphalt Oxidative AgingNader Abutalib, Elham H. Fini, Sassan Aflaki, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis paper investigates the feasibility of using silica fume to enhance the rheological properties of asphalt binder. It has been widely reported that asphalt binder oxidation is one of the phenomena that reduces the service life of asphalt pavement by negatively impacting its rheological properties. This in turn can lead to a more brittle pavement which is more prone to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 8,485 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Process Parameters on Electrical Discharge Machined Job Surface IntegrityA.K.M. Asif Iqbal, Ahsan Ali KhanProblem statement: Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is the most widely used non conventional machining process for removing material from workpiece by means of a series of repeated electric discharges. Electrical Discharge milling (ED-milling) is an emerging technology where a cylindrical tool electrode follows a programmed path in order to obtain the desired shape of a part. During machining of metals … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,584 accessesView PDF Cite
