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

Photocrosslinkable Materials for the Fabrication of Tissue-Engineered Constructs by Stereolithography

2014
Stereolithography is an additive technique that produces three-dimensional (3D) solid objects using a multi-layer procedure through the selective photo-initiated curing reaction of a liquid photosensitive material. Stereolithographic processes have been widely employed in Tissue Engineering for the fabrication of temporary constructs, using natural and

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

Application of Glass Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials in Construction Engineering

Key Engineering Materials, 2020
Glass fiber reinforced cement (GRC) is a new type of composite material formed by using alkali-resistant glass fiber as a reinforcing material and cement paste or cement mortar as a matrix. GRC is widely used in construction engineering. However, the durability of GRC is still a major problem in engineering applications, especially GRC materials have ...
