Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSoil-moisture Retention Characteristics of Earth Materials in the Weathering Profile over a Porphyritic Biotite GraniteJohn Kuna RajProblem statement: Three broad morphological zones and several sub-zones were differentiated within the weathering profile based on variations in earth materials and the degree of preservation of original bedrock minerals, textures and structures. Approach: The topmost Zone I (Grade 6) is some 12 m thick and comprises completely weathered bedrock materials (mainly a stiff, clayey sand) with indistinct relict bedrock … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,466 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImportance of Soil and Mineral Characteristics in Supporting Sustainable AgricultureIda Suryani, Marliana Sjuaib Palad, Nur Fitriani et al.Soil consists of four main components: Minerals, organic matter, air, and water, which are arranged in the space to form the soil body. Inorganic minerals in the soil come from rock fragments and other primary minerals. Sustainable soil fertility is supported by the nutrient content contained in the minerals. The research objectives were: 1) to observe the physical and chemical … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2025 · 5,938 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrom Plastic Waste to Building Material: Mechanical Properties of Recycled Thermoplastic TimberMonica Valdés, Nicoletta Trulli, Barbara De NicoloThe present paper illustrates the mechanical properties of a new structural product called Recycled Thermoplastic Timber (RTT), manufactured in Sardinia (Italy) and made of recycled plastics. The preliminary results of an experimental campaign aimed at assessing the main mechanical and physical properties of RTT are presented and discussed. Unreinforced and steel-reinforced thermoplastic timber profiles have been tested in laboratory and … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2018 · 13,406 accessesView PDF Cite
