Cyprus is the third largest and populated island in Mediterranean Sea, still rapidly expanding. Significant infrastructures, such as hotels, educational institutions, large residential complexes, are being built. Historically, 15 destructive earthquakes were reported on from 1896 to 2019 that caused structural damages casualties. In this study, liquefaction potential of Tuzla Long Beach east co...

Bagasse liquefaction (BL) in water, tetralin, and water/tetralin mixed solvents (WTMS) was investigated, and effects of tetralin content in WTMS, temperature, and alkaline pretreatment of bagasse on liquefaction efficiency were studied. At 300°C, bagasse conversion in WTMS with tetralin content higher than 50 wt% was 86-87 wt%, whereas bagasse conversion in water or tetralin was 67 wt% or 84 wt...

The mechanism of hydrothermal liquefaction of cypress was investigated by examining the effects of temperature and retention time on the characteristics of the solid residues remaining after liquefaction. The solid residues were divided into acid-soluble and acid-insoluble residues. Results showed the polymerization reactions also mainly occurred at low temperatures. The reactive fragments tran...

Abstract On September 30, 2009, there was liquefaction in the sandy soils around coast of Padang city, which triggered by an earthquake measuring 7.6 SR. Liquefaction causes land subsidence and lateral displacement many buildings Padang. The level vulnerability city is moderate zone based on qualitative methods; contrary, quantitative methods obtained a very high to liquefaction. Based this, co...

this study is carried out to estimate the potential evapotranspiration (pet) and crop coefficient (kc) for wheat, bl 3235 variety. a lysimeter is installed to estimate pet at the experimental farm of agricultural research center of bhairahawa, which is located in western part of nepal. the blaney-criddle formula is used to estimate the kc for wheat. the estimated values of pet and kc for wheat ...

Gravelly soils are not well represented in current semi-empirical liquefaction procedures, which raises the question of whether state-of-the-practice evaluation methods based on sands applicable to gravelly soils. This paper investigates applicability Cone Penetration Test triggering and settlement procedures case histories well-graded reclaimed soil at CentrePort, New Zealand. Sensitivity stud...

This study investigated co-liquefaction of microalgae (Chlorella pyrenoidosa, CP) and lignocellulosic biomass (Rice husk, RH) in subcritical water for bio-oil production. The effects of liquefaction temperature (200-350°C), residence time (10-90min), solid concentration (10-30wt.%) and mass ratio of CP/RH on product distribution were investigated. The results showed that the highest yield of bi...
