ASSESSING THE EFFICACY OF BIO-COAGULANTS IN WATER TREATMENT.
Abstract: The study was designed to investigate the efficacy of Bio-Coagulants in water treatment settling tanks using alum (the commercially available coagulant) as a control for comparison. One of the most important steps in the treatment of water is coagulation, which is utilized to react with organic materials in raw water and destabilize suspended particles. Coagulants, like alum, are frequently used because they lessen the repulsive force between particulate matter, promoting …

Strengthening of Foundation for Pavement
Abstract: Abstract The bearing capacity of soil is a critical factor in construction engineering, particularly for designing and constructing pavement foundations. It directly depends on the load intensity the soil can support. For Class AA loading conditions, a minimum bearing capacity of 20 t/m² is required. However, the presence of frequent rain and flash floods often reduces the soil's effectiveness due to water saturation. Saturated soil experiences a 50% decrease in …
