Biosolids as a construction material for engineered fills

Biosolids are defined as appropriately treated sewage sludge consisting of untreated organic slurry residue derived from wastewater treatment processes. The use of biosolids and other waste materials in a sustainable manner is currently being investigated in several countries around the world. A series of field and laboratory test were performed at the

Direct and indirect uses of energy and materials in engineering and construction

Applied Energy, 1975
Abstract The energy content of final products is made up of two parts: the direct energy content, the energy purchased by the firm making and selling the product; and the indirect energy content, the energy used in the manufacture of suplies and in the services purchased by the company. The present paper notes from published energy statistics that in

Materials Selection and Scaffold Construction for Liver Tissue Engineering

Materials Science Forum, 2005
To design the scaffold with suitable properties for the development of tissue engineered livers, materials design, selection and scaffold construct are three dispensable steps to be followed consequently. Firstly, some natural materials such as collagen, chitosan and alignate as well as some prevailing aliphatic polyester such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA)

Structural Applications of Smart Materials in Construction Engineering Using Robotics

First International Conference on Industrial and Information Systems, 2006
Sensors and Actuators designs have mimicked nature to a large extent. Similar to our five senses - sight, sound, smell, taste and touch - correspondingly visual/optical, acoustic/ultrasonic, electrical, chemical and thermal/magnetic sensors have been developed.

Mechanical Stimulation of Tissue Engineered Tendon Constructs: Effect of Scaffold Materials

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2007
Our group has shown that numerous factors can influence how tissue engineered tendon constructs respond to in vitro mechanical stimulation. Although one study showed that stimulating mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)–collagen sponge constructs significantly increased construct linear stiffness and repair biomechanics, a second study showed no such effect ...
