Chemical stabilization of problematic sulfate-rich soils is a considerable cause of concern even to this day for geotechnical and transportation engineering practitioners. With the advent of innovative materials and ...

This investigation explores the non-linear instability phenomena of variable stiffness laminated composite (VSLC) beams subjected to thermo-mechanical loading. A semi-analytical model is developed to determine the post-buckling ...

Despite the availability of robust agricultural models, the successful on-ground implementation of all Best Management Practices (BMPs) remains elusive due to the lack of consideration for farmers' preferences. This study ...

Precision agriculture (PA) is a management system that helps farmers address issues like fertilizer runoff, crop diseases, and declining yields by employing contemporary advanced technology. However, various environmental, ...

The paper presents the performance of premix carpet for low-volume roads in terms of structural capacity and functional properties. The structural capacity was evaluated using falling weight deflectometer (FWD). International ...

Nickel–chromium plating sludge (NCPS) is a hazardous waste due to high concentration (~ 25%–30%) of chromium and nickel. Electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) is a by-product of secondary steel manufacturing through the electric ...

This study presents an innovative life cycle assessment (LCA)-centric approach for optimizing the mix design of alkali-activated materials (AAMs) as sustainable alternatives to ordinary portland cement (OPC). The AAMs are ...

Egress times of pedestrians from the narrow and the wide passages are modeled analytically in this study. The pedestrians in this study constitute both faster (like the ones who are healthy) and slower (like the ones who ...

Technological innovations have repeatedly made our lives easier over the centuries. Supplies have increased manifold to compete with growing consumer demands. For example, textile industries serve untired to meet the ...

Low-income countries (LICs) have long benefitted from household biogas plants for the extraction of clean energy and fertilizers. Despite their popularity, such ordinary plants do not have heating systems and suffer from ...
