Use geosynthetic materials as drainage and filtration systems

Geosynthetic Materials and its Properties for Reinforced Earth Structures

The national planners have put infrastructures development on priority. This has resulted in transport planning widening of National Highway and new roads in country. Thus work of Retaining Earth (RE) structures/ slopes will be going to design in very large numbers over different areas. The availability of backfill material compatible with geosynthetics reinforcements and economy in both has be...

Leakage through Geosynthetic Dam Lining Systems

An experimental testing program was conducted to quantify leakage through a geomembrane liner system when subjected to high hydraulic heads. Leakage through geomembranes is mainly due to the presence of defects, which may occur during installation and operation. Previous studies focused on leakage through landfill liners (i.e., low hydraulic heads) have led to analytical models and simplified e...

MEDICAL USE OF CERAMIC MATERIALS

the effect of lexical and grammatical collocation instruction through input flooding versus awareness raising on short-term and delayed retention as well a active use

this study attempted to explore if teaching english collocations through two different modes of awareness-raising and input flooding has any possible differential effect on immediate retention as well as retention in a delayed assessment. it also compared the possible differential effect of teaching english collocations implicitly and explicitly on actively using the items in writing. m...

Role of Recycled and Geosynthetic Materials in Enhancing Civil Engineering Environment

Three types of geosynthetic are used in this study to stabilize recycled ballast in the laboratory model. The compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete is relatively lower up to 15% than natural aggregate concrete. The durability parameters confirms suitability of RCA & RAC in making durable concrete structures of selected types. The weakest specimens tested obtained maximum compressi...
