Moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO) is a fairly recent addition to the English burn literature for the local treatment of the burn wound. MEBO espouses the concept of wound healing in a moist environment by avoiding desiccation of the fragile burned areas. Though MEBO is as effective as conventional management, it is not the panacea for all burn wounds [1]. While using MEBO in the treatment of p...

The ageing of asphalt mixes, together with their exposure to low temperatures, causes a progressive increase of cracking. In this paper, the effect of ageing and temperature on the fatigue of asphalt concretes made with two types of binders, conventional (50/70) and polymer modified bitumen (PMB), is studied. For this purpose, specimens previously subjected to an accelerated laboratory ageing p...

Bitumen emulsions (BE) are widely used in road construction, for building and structure waterproofing. Storage stability is one of the main BE requirements. They should only break on contact with surface. The sodium oleate effect as a surfactant anionic bitumen waterproofing purposes has been studied. increased storage have developed. optimal content oleate, providing high complex emulsion resu...
