Effect of Strength Enhancement of Soil Treated with Environment-Friendly Calcium Carbonate Powder

This study aims to investigate the effects of the strength improvement of soft ground (sand) by producing calcium carbonate powder through microbial reactions. To analyze the cementation effect of calcium carbonate produced through microbial reaction for different weight ratios, four different types of specimens (untreated, calcium carbonate, cement, and calcium carbonate + cement) with differe...

Insertion and confinement of hydrophobic metallic powder in water: the bubble-marble effect.

Metallic powders such as thermite are known as efficient fuels also applicable in oxygen-free environments. However, due to their hydrophobicity, they hardly penetrate into water. This paper presents an effect that enables the insertion and confinement of hydrophobic metallic powders in water, based on encapsulating an air bubble surrounded by a hydrophobic metallic shell. This effect, regarded...

Enhancement of Engineering Characteristics of Soil Using Jute Geotextile

Natural fibres such as jute were the forerunners of the man-made fibres used for centuries for making ropes and formanufacturing burlaps, sacks, hessian and carpet backing. But the use of jute products in civil engineering is relativelywidespread for such purposes as sand-bags for concrete curing, soil enrichment and protection. This research is concerned with the stabilization of fine sand usi...
