DEM Development using Geographic Information System for Topographic Assessment
Abstract: Topography of the earth surface plays a vital role in the distribution of water within the natural land surfaces. This includes various hydrological processes like surface runoff, infiltration and evaporation. The quantitative assessment of these processes mainly depends upon the topography of the surfaces. Many topographic features can be computed directly from Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Assessment of topography manually is generally tedious, time consuming and often subject to error. …

Influence of Blending Technique on Surface Free Energy of Modified Asphalt Cement
Abstract: AbstractThe processing technique of modified asphalt cement in the laboratory is adopted by heating the asphalt cement in an oven to the required mixing temperature; then the additive is added and mixed for a target mixing time. It was felt that such technique allows more volatiles to evaporate and required high mixing temperature. In this work, asphalt cement of 44 penetration grade was gained from Dora refinery, south west of …
