mulching is one of the methods of sand movement control to prepare condition for permanent fixation. oil mulches have been used in iran. because of high cost and negative environmental impacts of oil mulches, changes in mulches type and mulching methods is vital. therefore, for the first time in iran, different combinations of cement and lime were examined as stabilizer. sandy soil from the yaz...

Retrofitting works are immensely essential for deteriorated and damaged structures in Engineering and Medical fields, in order to keep, or return to, the originality for safe guarding the structures and consumers. In this paper, different types of methods of retrofitting review notes are given based on the experimental, numerical and analytical methods results on strengthening the Reinforced ce...

Impact of anthropogenic activities of man and his environment as a result of the growing rate of industrialisation in Tamilnadu, India is of a great concern. The objective of this research was to evaluate the physical properties and heavy metal concentration of soil in different industrial areas. Soil samples were collected from seven industries like welding, cement, steel, printing, textile, p...

The fly ash is a waste produced mostly from the burning of coal in thermal power station which contributes to environmental pollution. It is naturally-cementitious coal combustion by-product. Many studies have been reported in the literature on the performance evaluation of soil – fly ash system as well soil-fly ashfiber system. Although ample studies have been reported with randomly distribute...

Stabilization/Solidification technologies reduce the mobility of hazardous and radioactive contaminants in the environment through both physical and chemical processes. Four stabilization/solidification (S/S) processes were used to solidify three sample matrices contaminated with arsenic, chromium (VI), lead, cesium and strontium. These sample matrices were Idaho National Engineering and Enviro...

In coastal areas, structures such as cement-soil dams are often eroded by seawater, so it is significant to study how improve the impermeability of cement-soil. Basalt fiber with a strong tensile property, good stability and high-performance price ratio was selected additive influence basalt content on permeability soil-cement. The test chloride ion were used evaluate best mixing amount. result...

Fly ash and granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) are major by-products of thermal and steel plants, respectively. These materials often cause disposal problems and environmental pollution. Detailed laboratory investigations were carried out on cement stabilized fly ash-(GBFS) mixes in order to find out its suitability for road embankments, and for base and sub-base courses of highway pavements....
