Laboratory permeability and single ring infiltration tests for the testing of waterproofing barriers of landfill tanks.
Abstract: Hydraulic conductivity is a fundamental hydrogeological parameter for the testing of waterproofing barriers of landfill tanks. These barriers are aimed at guaranteeing the isolation of the waste and preventing the infiltration of the percolate in the subsoil.Geotechnical features of mineral barriers must be preliminarily established through geotechnical laboratory tests in order to verify their suitability for their application.The main mineral barriers correspond to the bottom waterproofing of the landfill tanks …

First experimental results on “clay and bentonite” mixtures for the waterproofing of a landfill in Northwestern Piedmont Region (NW Italy)
Abstract: We report on experimental results conducted on “clay and bentonite” mixtures for the waterproofing of a tank landfill located in Northwestern Piedmont Region (NW Italy).The geotechnical experimental tests on “clay and bentonite” mixtures were conducted in the laboratory first, with the aim of finding the optimum percentage of granular bentonite to be added to the clay and then, they were carried out in situ, in the tank, on the layer …

Study of Evaluating the Feasibility of Banana Stem Fibers and Sugarcane Husk as a Sustainable Additive in Pervious Concrete for Urban Pavements
Abstract: This study explores the integration of eco-friendly materials: banana stem fibers and sugarcane husk, into pervious concrete to enhance its mechanical properties while maintaining high permeability. The research addresses environmental concerns related to agricultural waste disposal and the resource-intensive nature of traditional construction materials. Banana stem fibers, known for their tensile strength and durability, and sugarcane husk, rich in lignin and cellulose, were selected as reinforcements. The fibers were extracted, …

Percentage Changes According to Clinical Pathological Findings of Acute Rotavirus Gastroenteritis in Children
Abstract: Acute Rotavirus gastroenteritis in children, called “False Cholera”, is one of the children’s diarrheal diseases. Among symptomatic children with acute Rotavirus gastroenteritis, the chief clinical manifestations include diarrhoea, vomiting, fever and dehydration. We did research with such aims as follows to differentiate Acute Rotavirus Gastroenteritis in Children, with significant morbidity, from others in paediatric gastroenterology, and to introduce its etiological treatment. We selected 87 subjects who died from children’s diarrheal …

Effect of Improvement of Collapsible Soils with Bitumen Emulsions on Collapsibility Rate for Varying Degrees of Saturation
Abstract: Collapsible soils are one of many problematic soils in Iraq. Many foundation failure problems that occurred in Iraq are associated with percolation of water; the change in the degree of saturation can affect the stability of these soils and may encounter large volumetric change. A series of tests conducted on collapsible soil using oedometer apparatus and the settlement–time curves are determined accurately, then each test is determined to a different …

ENHANCED TECHNIQUE FOR HYDRAULIC FRACTURING PROCEDURE IN FRACTURED ROCK MASS
Abstract: Notwithstanding the broad hypothetical work about hydraulic fracturing technique for estimation of stresses in rock mass, the experimental work has so far been restricted, particularly on account of its legitimacy in fractured rocks. Much work has been completed about the induced fractures created by hydraulic fracturing tests, however not on the impact of previously existing fractures and joints and their impact. When a fracture has been originated at the borehole …

A Review on Impact Analysis of Composite Armor
Abstract: Understanding the type of wave generated in a faulty region is important when using one of the main non-destructive testing tools, ultrasonic research. Recent dispersed research demonstrates that because of their low impact execution, layered composites have limited uses in cutting-edge auxiliary frameworks. The purpose of this inquiry is to provide new scientists who are working on ballistic-related topics with broad information on the most frequently used materials and ballistic …

Experimental Evaluation of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites for Structural Applications
Abstract: Composites made of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) are currently one of the most widely used material classes in advanced engineering applications because of their remarkable environmental resistance, dimensional stability, and strength-to-weight ratio. The vacuum bag moulding method was used in this study to create CFRP laminates with different fiber-to-resin weight ratios: 50:50, 55:45, 60:40, 65:35, and 70:30. The reinforcement phase was made of unidirectional carbon fibre fabric and the …

Evaluating Fiber Volume Fraction and Defects in Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites for T Joint applications
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been integral to industries such as aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, and automotive due to their strength, durability, lightweight, and corrosion resistance. This study examines the production and microstructural analysis of polymer composites using FRP and manual lamination methods. While manual lamination is quick and economical, it relies on operator skill, resulting in low mechanical properties. Microstructure analysis via 3D optical and scanning electron microscopes revealed that …
