Effects of Reinforcing Elements in Soil Reinforcement
Abstract: The inclusion of reinforcing elements in a soil mass improves its geotechnical properties. The principle behind soil reinforcement is that the reinforcing elements absorb the tensile load and shear stress within the reinforced structures and hence prevent the shear failure and settlement. The friction developed between the interface of soil and reinforcing element improves the properties of soil. Different types of natural and synthetic fibers have been used in various …

Prediction of Compressive strength of Periwinkle Shell Aggregate Concrete Using a Quadratic Polynomial Function
Abstract: In this study, a mathematical model is developed to predict the compressive strength of normal concrete made with periwinkle shell as coarse aggregate using a quadratic polynomial function. The response function is expressed as a multivariable function of the proportions of the component materials (water, ordinary Portland cement, sand and periwinkle shell). A total of thirty experimental runs were used to demonstrate the applicability of the mathematical model developed. The …

A Study on Self Compacting Concrete using Portland Pozzolana Cement
Abstract: Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a type of highly flowable concrete that fills each and every corner of congested formwork without the need for mechanical vibration as it is placed by means of its own weight. Generally, the SCC is prepared by using Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) with mineral and chemical admixtures. Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) itself contains some amount of fly ash, thus given the motivation to prepare the SCC …

Investigation on Catalyst Selection for Polymerization Processes in Petrochemical Industries
Abstract: Organic polymers are long-chain compounds made of several repeating units. These polymers are either natural, such as protein, cellulose, starch or synthetic, such as polyethylene (a plastic), polyesters and polyamides (plastics and fibers) and polybutadiene (rubber).Many organic compounds possessing multiple bonds have the tendency to polymerize in the presence of an initiator. Polymerization of these compounds can either be affected by the use of chemical initiators such as free radicals …
