    Abstract: Reinforcement of flexible pavements using geosynthetics is gaining widespread application. However, there is inadequate understanding of strength development for non-woven geotextile and geogrid as reinforcement in Black Cotton Soil (BCS) and granular material in relation to cement stabilization method. Therefore, this paper presents experimental s... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper, the basic properties of UF and UMF resins for impregnation under conventional and new processes were compared, and their chemical structures were characterized by 13C NMR. The effects of synthetic process and melamine addition on the bonding strength and formaldehyde emission of UF and UMF resins were studied. The resin synthesized b... Show More

    Abstract: The task of managing the risk of introducing reagentless treatment of acid mine water is considered. The task is solved, first of all, for natural technological complexes formed by coal and copper-zinc-pyrite mines transferred to "wet" preservation due to unprofitability. To solve the problem, a mobile technological complex operating in a flow-thro... Show More

    Abstract: Biocomposites based on polypropylene (PP) and typha fibre were prepared using a twin-screw extruder and different characterisation techniques, namely thermal, mechanical, rheological and morphological analysis, to evaluate the effects of typha stem powder on the final properties of the biomaterials. The rheological characterisation showed that the ... Show More

    Abstract: The scanning electron microscope (SEM) has evolved to become an indispensable tool for research and education in engineering, physics, nanotechnology, geosciences, materials science, biological sciences and other fields. However, training on a physical SEM is costly, time consuming, and often unavailable in economically disadvantaged areas. Advance... Show More
