Development and Evaluation of Nano-silica Sustainable Concrete
(2017-05)
The concrete industry is one of the main contributors in the emission of carbon dioxide. Yet, it is the most used man-made material. In the past few decades, different pozzolanic materials were used as a partial replacement ...
Soil Characterization Utilizing GPR Technique
(2017-11)
Engineering properties of soil, such as shear strength parameters, water content, degree of saturation, and permeability are essential for safe and economic design of any structure involving soil structure ...
CFD Study of Particle Concentration and Stokes Number Effect on Erosion Profile.
(2017-04)
A very common problem that continuously faces industrial applications involving fluid flow is solid particle erosion. This type of erosion is caused when solid particles carried by a fluid flow continuously impact a surface ...
Development of Activated Carbon Fibers for Organic Removals
(2017-11)
Phenols are classified to be one of the most hazardous pollutants found in wastewater. They are discharged into rivers, lakes and seas, causing adverse effects on the enviromental and human health. Adsorption is a well-known ...
