Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHydro-Mechanical Constraints and Deformations in Road Embankments Using Unsaturated Low-Swelling SoilSoumaïla Gandema, Marcel Bawindsom Kébré, Rimyalegdo Kiébré et al.In this paper, we present the results of a simulation of the evolution of stresses and deformations in a road embankment using unsaturated low-swelling soil under hydro-mechanical pressures, modeled with the finite element code Code_Bright. We assume that this embankment, which supports asphalt, follows the Barcelona Thermo-Elasto-Plastic model (BBM-TEP). This model describes the Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) behavior of unsaturated fine soils … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2025 · 2,741 accessesView PDF Cite

Approach: The objective of this study were: (i) to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,987 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evaluation of Anti-Stripping Additives Mixing in Road Surface Pavement MaterialsTienfuan Kerh, Yu-Min Wang, Yulern LinMost road surfaces in Taiwan are paved with asphalt concrete but the phenomena of rutting, cracking and stripping of the pavement are frequently occurring due to the effects of traffic flow, thermal variation and water erosion caused by rain. In this study, a series of experiments were performed to examine the effectiveness of anti-stripping fillers, which include; rock flour, rock … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,911 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResearch of the Process of Shaping Folded Filler of Sandwich Panels from CardboardIl'dus Zakirov, Alexandr Nikitin, Alexandr Naumov, Nargiz FaizullinaSandwich panels with the corrugated filler made of composite cardboard are used in building constructions, road sound dampening screens, etc. Taking into account that in industries applying sandwich panels, the demand for such filler is relatively high, the competitiveness of the product must be at a high level. This requires developing a high-performance industrial technology to produce it. These production … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 24 Nov 2015 · 6,549 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGermination Ecology of Rhanterium epapposum Oliv.Sameeha Zaman, Shyamala Padmesh, Harby TawfiqProblem statement: Rhanterium epapposum, locally called Arfaj is the national flower of Kuwait. The current situation of Rhanterium epapposum is quite critical in most areas of Kuwait. In fact it has completely disappeared from most parts of the country due to a combination of overgrazing, collecting for firewood and off road driving. Approach: Rhanterium epapposum is an excellent species for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,618 accessesView PDF Cite
