Mechanical Engineering Aspects of Road Construction

Minimization of Mechanical Aspects of Friction through Surface Engineering

Assessment of Effect of Road or Road Construction on Soil Physical and Chemical Properties in Northern Forests of Iran

Forests are an important economic source for human and have key role in nutrient cycle, hydrology and ecosystem performance, any interference in this vital ecosystem causes to damage to forests. Mechanical logging and road construction in forest areas have led to much soil compaction. Soil physical and chemical properties were studied in parts of road and non-road in the Darabkola forest of Ira...

Influence of Polypropylene Fibers on Engineering Behavior of Soil−Fly Ash Mixtures for Road Construction

Fly ash is a waste produced mostly from the burning of coal in thermal power stations, which contributes to environmental pollution. Also, a number of studies have been conducted to investigate the influence of randomly oriented fibers on the engineering behavior of coarse grained and fine grained soils. The influence of randomly oriented polypropylene fibers on the engineering behavior of soil...
