the total coal and lignite consumption of the thermic power plants in turkey is approximately 55 million tons and nearly 15 million tons of fly ash is produced. the remarkable increase in the production of fly ash and its disposal in an environmentally friendly manner is increasingly becoming a matter of global concern. studies for the utilization of fly ash in turkey are necessary to reduce en...

The development of new building materials that meet technological, economic, and environmental criteria has been highlighted in recent decades, especially regarding the use alternative raw or production methodologies. In this context, objective project was to promote adobe blocks using clay manure, contributing sustainable construction sector due blocks, produced by earth technique. Initially, ...

Stone industry has generated about 200 million tons of marble waste by processing industries whether in the form sludge or solid blocks. The accumulated wastes contaminate water and air have harmful effects on human health, plants, animals. This study focuses exploring uses powder obtained drying grinding waste, from manufacturing processes, as a mineral filler for other construction materials....

Abstract Growing application of artificial intelligence in geotechnical engineering has been observed; however, its ability to predict the properties and nonlinear behaviour reactive soil is currently not well considered. Although previous studies provided linear correlations between shrink–swell index Atterberg limits, obtained model accuracy values were found unsatisfactory results. Artificia...

Abstract Peat is a soil that has high compressibility property beside having low bearing capacity. Due to these problems, the peat not suitable for construction purposes. Coconut waste an example of agricultural waste. In context environmental sustainability, use coir in geotechnical applications desirable. This research was conducted study stabilization by using Coir Fibre Ash (CFA) partially ...

Expansive soils are found abundantly in Ethiopia. This type of is weaker, having low strength and load resisting characteristics nature due to their difficulty volume change when it comes into contact with water. The such becomes swell saturated water shrinks during dry seasons. In civil infrastructure construction, soil either should removed or improved be used as foundation soil. Removing the...

For years, geotechnical engineers have been concerned about expansive soils. Expansive soils are characterized by large volumetric changes related to variations in moisture content. Variations soil water content may take place naturally during seasonal or maybe manmade caused dewatering activities. The quantity of shrinkage and swell is influenced numerous parameters, including the minerals cla...

Sanitary Landfills in tropical areas are subjected to specific conditions such as high temperatures, intense precipitation, and highly organic solid waste with biodegradation rates. Unsaturated seepage inside the cells of an Ordinary Solid Waste (OSW) Landfill Costa Rica, Central America was studied. It is essential better understand behavior for this type disposal infrastructure due its physic...
