in the recent years, rapid growth of the world’s population and overutilization of fresh water resources have caused fresh water shortage crisis in the world. in spite of the agricultural activities in the northern beaches of iran and also severe decrease of the ground water level, it still has not taken any effective measures to desalinate caspian sea water in large scale. in this research, de...

An experimental study conducted to evaluate the hardened and durability characteristics of ternary blended concrete containing Nano-Silica Zeolite along with steel fibers act as micro- reinforcement has been presented in this paper. were included different dosages optimum combination above two materials (Nano-Silica -1% Zeolite- 10%) obtained through trails from viewpoint workability strength. ...

in this study, different contents of nano-silica, 2 wt.%, 4 wt.% and 6 wt.%, have been added to bitumen tomodify the physical, mechanical and rheological properties of warm mix asphalt (wma). wma iscontaining 2 wt.% of sasobit (mixture of long-chain hydrocarbons). various quality control tests have beencarried out to characterize the modified bitumen and wma. the rheological investigations show...

silica exists in rice husk, an agriculture waste, as a naturally occurring phase. in first step, acidic pre-treatment and calcination of the rice husk were performed to obtain nano-silica, in which various sizes of the nano-silica, totally with sizes under 80 nm, were achieved. second, to reduce nano-silica to elemental si and subsequently formation of the composite, mg used as the reducing age...

In this study, different contents of Nano-silica, 2 wt.%, 4 wt.% and 6 wt.%, have been added to bitumen to modify the physical, mechanical and rheological properties of warm mix asphalt (WMA). WMA is containing 2 wt.% of Sasobit (mixture of long-chain hydrocarbons). Various quality control tests have been carried out to characterize the modified bitumen and WMA. The rheo...

This paper studies the recent investigations and development of combined application of Pozzolanic additions Nano-Silica (NS) and Fly Ash (FA) on the strength properties of concrete for sub sequential growth of concrete industry. This investigation not only saves the natural resources but also controls the environmental pollution by usage of wastes. The limited work is done on partial replaceme...

The current essay analyzes the anti-corrosion properties of epoxy primers including anti-corrosion pigment calcium hydrogen orthophosphate and hydrophobic nano silica with various percentages optimized by Taguchi experimental design. The impact of influential factors such as the percentage of anti-corrosion pigments, percentage of nano silica and pigment to binder ratio on anti-corrosion proper...
