Sepiolite as an alternative liner material in municipal solid waste landfills
(Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2008)
Compacted clay has traditionally been used as a lining material in municipal solid waste landfills. However, natural clays may not always provide good contaminant sorption properties. One alternative material that is ...
Capturing knowledge in construction projects: Knowledge platform for contractors
(Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2008)
Managing knowledge effectively is critical to the survival and advance of a company, especially in project-based industries such as construction. However, capturing knowledge in construction projects is a tedious task, as ...
Mechanical evaluation of asphalt-aggregate mixtures prepared with fly ash as a filler replacement
(Natl Research Council Canada-N R C Research Press, 2008)
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of fly ash as a filler replacement on the mechanical properties of asphalt-aggregate mixtures. Utilization of fly ash, which is the by-product of coal-fired power ...
The effect of polypropylene fibers on asphalt performance
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2008)
Polypropylene fibers are extensively used in civil engineering applications for many years. These fibers are used in concrete as a three-dimensional secondary reinforcement. Due to adhesion between polypropylene fibers and ...
On the cumulant expansion up scaling of ground water contaminant transport equation with nonequilibrium sorption
(Springer, 2008)
The laboratory-scale ground water transport equation with nonequilibrium sorption reaction subjected to unsteady, nondivergence-free, and nonstationary velocity fields is up-scaled to the field-scale by using the ...
Improving sub-contractor selection process in construction projects: Web-based sub-contractor evaluation system (WEBSES)
(Elsevier Science BV, 2008)
One of the most important phases in the construction industry (CI) is the bidding process. During the bidding process, selecting the most appropriate sub-contractors (SCs) for the relevant sub-works is highly critical for ...
Assessing concrete strength by means of small diameter cores
(Elsevier Sci LTD, 2008)
Estimation of concrete strength may be gained from compression tests conducted on cores having a diameter considerably smaller than the recommended one of 100 mm. This paper examines the results of tests applied on the 69 ...
Alternative electricity generation opportunities
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2008)
In this article, comparing four renewable energy sources shows 70% of the electricity generated by the four to come from geothermal with only 42% of the total installed capacity. Wind energy contributes 27% of the electricity, ...
