This article presents an overview of the application soil bioengineering techniques, also modeled as natural engineering, in state Sergipe, northeastern Brazil, showing importance integrating living and inert elements to protect river banks from erosion. The employed techniques are different, ranging characterization susceptibility erosion use biotechniques, considering knowledge areas agronomi...

In recent decades, corrosion in steel reinforcement has been one of the fundamental risks steel-reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Geosynthetics can be an alternative approach to solve problems. The current experimental research work investigates structural performance geogrid-reinforced (GRC) elements. Initially, five different geotextiles and biaxial geogrid materials were selected embedded...

Geogrids are commonly used in transportation applications for stabilization and reinforcement due to their higher tensile strengths compared to geotextiles as well as the stiffness improvement they provide through arresting and interlocking granular particles in the geogrid apertures. Influenced by many factors, such as the aperture shape and size of geogrid, the degree of interlocking contribu...

Fiber membranes prepared from jute fragments can be valuable, low cost, and renewable. They have broad application prospects in packing bags, geotextiles, filters, and composite reinforcements. Traditionally, chemical adhesives have been used to improve the properties of jute fiber membranes. A series of new laccase, laccase/mediator systems, and multi-enzyme synergisms were attempted. After th...

Uncontrolled stormwater runoff not only creates drainage problems and flash floods but also presents a considerable threat to water quality and the environment. These problems can, to a large extent, be reduced by a type of stormwater management approach employing permeable pavement systems (PPS) in urban, industrial and commercial areas, where frequent problems are caused by intense undrained ...

Vegetation as an essential positive sustainable element of urban spaces has recently gathered increased attention from landscape architects and urban planners. Vegetation growing in urban settings can bring environmental benefits that enhance the health and well-being of citizens through, for example, improved air quality, increased thermal insulation for buildings, reduction of the urban heat-...

The legislations have been promulgated in many states that remove barriers to large-scale beneficial re-use of waste materials. As a result, there is a renewed emphasis on incorporating suitable waste products into highway construction. Fly ash is one of these materials, and is increasingly being used as fill materials for highway embankments, and as grout mixes for road bases. In most cases, a...

Pebuahan Beach is one of the beaches that experienced high abrasion. The results monitoring coastline changes at during period from 2004 to 2019 using remote sensing Landsat satellite show abrasion area 145,549.32 m2. Abrasion occurred impact Pengambengan Port which causes sediment transport be hampered. Various efforts have been made by local community and government overcome increasingly retr...
