Stabilisation with geogrids for transport applications – selected issues [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
Stabilisation is defined as improvement of the mechanical properties of an unbound granular material by including one or more geosynthetic layers such that the deformation under applied loads is reduced by minimizing soil particle movement. Paper discuss

Chemical and spectroscopic analysis of olive mill waste water during a biological treatment [PDF]

, 2007
The treatment of olive mill waste water was studied on the laboratory scale. Physico–chemical analyses showed the final products had a mean pH of 5.4 without neutralisation and 5.7 when lime was added to the process.

Geotechnical viability of sand, cement, and binary stabilisation of soils in the western Niger Delta; An example of Warri City, Southern Nigeria

Journal of the Geological Survey of Brazil
The pavement performance of superficial soils in southern Nigeria is in decline, most notably due to the use of inferior pavement materials and poor soil conditions.

Plant residue quality regulates its incorporation into soil aggregates and organic carbon stabilisation

Geoderma
Plant residue input is vital for soil organic carbon (SOC) formation and stabilisation. While soil aggregates serve as fundamental units for SOC physical stabilisation, residue-derived C distribution among aggregate fractions and the factors regulating ...

Prediction of principal stresses due to external load in sans mass considering its mechanical characteristics

Вестник СибАДИ, 2022
Introduction. A part of the methods for designing earthworks and foundations is based on solutions for predicting the stress state of soils under the action of an external load, which do not take into account the structural features of the material. This

Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...
