Ten coarse-fine mixtures (CFM) (intermediate soils) having fines contents (FC) of 0%, 12%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and plasticity indices (PI) of 5% and 15% were prepared in the laboratory by mixing different fractions of gravel, sand, nonplastic silt, kaolin, and bentonite.

Influence of changes in meteorological conditions on the moisture content of dead fine fuel in the mixed pine forest [PDF]
The moisture content of fine fuels is one of the key indicators for assessing the danger of forest fires. It is the most critical factor influencing the ignitability of vegetation and fire behaviour.

Evaluating the role of aggregate gradation on cracking performance of asphalt concrete for thin overlays [PDF]
Thin asphalt concrete overlays are a maintenance technique that mainly restore the functional properties of pavements. One of the main issues in thin overlays is reflective cracking that can cause early deterioration and reduce their service life.

Effects of Fines Contents on Engineering Properties of Sand-Fines Mixtures
AbstractThis paper presents a detailed study focused on investigating the effects of fines content on the engineering properties of sand-fines mixtures. Specimens with a low-plastic fines content of 0, 15, 30 and 50% by weight were tested in static triaxial and consolidation tests to determine such parameters as compression index, internal friction ...

An investigation on the parameters affecting the behavior of broadly graded, dispersive base soil-filter systems in earth dams [PDF]
Designing appropriate filter materials is as important as ensuring the safety factor of the entire body of earth dams. The performance of the downstream filter zone in earth dams could be significantly influenced by base soil features, particularly in ...

Properties of fine-grained concrete containing fly ash and bottom ash
In the present paper, large amounts of bottom ash (BA) and fly ash (FA) in a Vung Ang thermal power plant in Vietnam were used to substitute crushed sand (CS) to produce fine-grained concrete.

A template-based sub-optimal content distribution for D2D content sharing networks [PDF]
We propose Templatized Elastic Assignment (TEA), a light-weight scheme for mobile cooperative caching networks. It consists of two components, (1) one to calculate a sub-optimal distribution of each situation and (2) finegrained ID management by base ...

Eye movements reveal effects of visual content on eye guidance and lexical access during reading. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Normal reading requires eye guidance and activation of lexical representations so that words in text can be identified accurately. However, little is known about how the visual content of text supports eye guidance and lexical activation, and
