Abstract Construction on swelling soil is a major challenge to geotechnical engineers all around the world. This type of has quite complex behavior as they undergo category problematic soils. The seasonal variations in climate cause and shrinkage, affecting soil’s water retention. prediction future change will worsen this problem, increasing importance matter. attention been directed experiment...

Recently problems relating to environmental pollution and the need to protect and preserve the environment from further deterioration has drawn increasing research attention. The goal of any remediation based on soil amendments is to achieve maximum reduction in the bioavailability of heavy metals by immobilization in soils. Modern remediation approaches increasingly focus on in situ environmen...

As a result of uncontrolled discharge of wastewaters containing high levels of phosphorus to the receiving bodies could create adverse effects on water quality. Therefore phosphorus should be eliminated prior to discharging into aquatic environment together with carbon and nitrogen to reduce eutrophication risk. Control of effluent phosphorus level by enhanced biological methods became a standa...
