Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTHERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF RUBBERIZED GYPSUM BOARDTaher Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie Fini, Ashraf FadielThe disposal of scrap tires is a challenging task and hence an innovative solution to meet these challenges is needed. Extensive work has been done on the utilization of waste tires in a variety of applications in asphalt pavements and concrete. However, previous investigations focus only on the mechanical properties of the rubberized materials, but few on the thermal performance. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 8,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGlomalin Production and Microbial Activity in Soils Impacted by Gypsum Mining in a Brazilian Semiarid AreaAdalia Cavalcanti do Espírito Santo Mergulhao, Helio Almeida Burity, Fabio Sérgio Barbosa da Silva et al.Problem statement: Mining activities involve the removal of the vegetal cover and the soil organic layer, causing a severe environmental impact. In Northeast Brazil, 40% of the world’s crude gypsum is found in a semiarid area, making this region responsible for 95% of the gypsum demand in the national market. Although economically important, this activity is harmful to the environment. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 11 Nov 2010 · 9,023 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Improvement Method for Swell Problem in Sulfate Soils that Stabilized by LimeM. JahanshahiIn this research low plasticity clay (CL) has to be mixed by varying percents of gypsum and after that this mixture would be treated with different amounts of lime, in two methods: regular application and Double application. The swell examinations would be done on these samples; and the influence of sulfates and mixing method on different quantities of swell will … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring the Impact of Incorporating Fine-Grained Materials on the Resistance Characteristics of Cement-Reinforced ClaySayed Amirhossein Hosseini Chaleshtori, Mohammad Alibabaei ShahrakiThis study, conducted with meticulous attention to detail, examined the influence of fine-grained materials on the resistance components of clay, with and without cement reinforcement. Micro-silica, perlite, crystal barite, gypsum, silica and talc were added to investigate this matter and samples were created and modeled under standard laboratory conditions. The current study aimed to examine the effectiveness of organic granules … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 13 Aug 2024 · 5,579 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrogeophysics Exploration Approximately Ain Al Atti (Region of Southeast Erfoud Morocco)Dakir Ibrahim, Benamara Ahmed, Aassoumi Habiba et al.Electrical resistivity and Very Low Frequency electromagnetic profiles (VLF) were introduced for a litho-structural study in the locality of Douira, located in the Errachidia basin. The electrical reading was carried out with a Schlemberger type device. The VLF profiles were implemented with a different length reaching 1600 m and profile lines oriented in the direction NNW-SSE and N-S. The VLF … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 16 Dec 2020 · 10,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the use of Polyurethane Residue Aggregated to the Plaster of Civil ConstructionGuilherme Moraes de Oliveira, Vittória Caroline Souza dos Santos, José de Souza, Tatiana Louise Ávila C. RochaThe study deals with the reuse of Polyurethane (PU) obtained from a kitchen sponge added to plaster for use in civil engineering. The kitchen sponge is an item widely used by the population in their daily lives, generating a significant accumulation of waste. Thus, from the analysis of the properties of the kitchen sponge, it was seeking possible reuse of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2019 · 7,142 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Damsites Groutability Using Secondary Permeability Index, Rock Classification (Case Studies)R. Ajalloeian, F. MoeinProblem statement: The dam body and foundation seepage is one of the important points in design parameters. This index is related to the permeability. There fore permeability is one of the basic parameter in design grout curtain, prevent water escape from foundation and avoid negative seepage pressure in borrow materials, so grouting is used. Grouting means injected materials like cement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrochemical Differentiation of Salinisation Process of the Water in Endoreic Semi-Arid Basin: Case of Rémila Basin, AlgeriaHouha Belgacem, Kherici Nacer, Kachi Slimane, Valles VincentThe aim of this study is to determine and treat a hierarchical basis of the various mechanisms responsible for the space variation of the water quality in a endoreic semi-arid basin. The water chemistry showed a large variability in space and time. The total dissolved solid (TDS) in water increases from upstream to downstream due to the effect of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,307 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Suspended Sediments Concentration in Surface Waters, Using Modis ImagesMobasheri Mohammad RezaRemote sensing from air-borne and space-borne sensors have proved to be a useful method for Suspended Sediment Concentration (SSC) estimation as it provides an instantaneous and synoptic view of suspended sediments that would otherwise be unavailable. The reason for the success of remote sensing in such surveys is the strong positive relationship that exists between SSC and remotely sensed water … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,006 accessesView PDFCite
