Understanding Geomagnetic Storms Through ACE/EPAM Data in the Recent Solar Cycle
Abstract: We share our research on the effects of geomagnetic storms on Earth's climate throughout the solar cycle. We use the Kp index value from ACE and several other observatories to comprehend the impact of the geomagnetic storm in this instance. A geomagnetic storm is indicated by a value of 5 or higher on the K-index, which uses an integer between 0 and 9 to quantify disturbances in the horizontal component …

Stabilization of Reinforced Earth Wall Backfill Using Steel Slag and Recycled PET Fiber: A Composite Material Approach
Abstract: Reinforced Earth (RE) walls are widely used in infrastructure due to their structural efficiency and ease of construction. However, they typically require high-quality granular backfill, which may not be readily available or cost-effective in many regions. This study investigates the potential of utilizing locally available sandy clay soil stabilized with industrial and plastic waste materials specifically 20% steel slag and 0.75% shredded polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers, as an alternative backfill …

Evaluate The Engineering Properties of Low Load-Carrying Capacity of Expansive Soil by Using Magnesium Chloride and Dry Leaf Ash Powder
Abstract: The swell-shrink behavior of expansive soils poses numerous challenges with the substructure and distress in infrastructures such as buildings, pavements, breast walls, etc. The behavior of expanding soil has been carefully examined by geotechnical engineers, who have then put adequate management techniques into place. Present investigation intends to investigate potential benefits of dry leaf ash (DLA) powder and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) to enhance geological characteristics of soil, particularly addressing problems …
