Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEngineering Properties of Locally Manufactured Burnt Brick Pavers for Agrarian and Rural Earth RoadsEmmanuel Akintunde OkunadeThis study explored the possibility of employing burnt bricks produced locally by completely traditional methods as pavers on unpaved agrarian and rural earth roads in indigent communities. The pavers would eliminate the problems on such roads of being waterlogged and impassible during the rainy season months and those of environmental and health hazards from raised dust during the dry season … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,000 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstablishment of Readily Mathematical Formulation for the Evaluation of Slope Stability in Earth-Fill DamsSalah Saleh, Majda Ibobakr Almhdi AmerThe assessment of slope stability has been considered to be one of the most common issues to deal with by geotechnical engineers. This is due to the amount of destruction that can be brought up by the slope failure of soil masses to roads, railways, and earth dams, for example. Therefore, the stability of soil mass slopes must be carefully … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 13 Nov 2023 · 5,181 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Abutment Displacement of a Full Height Integral Bridges in Dense Granule BackfillM. H. Alizadeh, A.R. Khalim Rashid, Zamri Chik, S. M. MirhosseinyProblem statement: In this study, the behavior of abutment wall in full height frame integral abutment bridges was investigated. It was seen that the effect of backfill soil resistance on behavior of abutment wall movement is mostly neglected in previous studies. In this research, the final bridge superstructure displacement under temperature-induced forces was formulated. In addition, according to the final … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2010 · 8,352 accessesView PDF Cite
