Climate change is leading construction engineers and building stakeholders to improve materials thermal insulation heat storage capacity. The development of energy efficient with a low environmental impact real challenge. In this sense, earth-based are known worldwide have been used since thousands years. These present many advantages but their deployment on large scale, while respecting the op...

The defect in work rolls directly influence the forming cost and the final shape of the product. The researchers tend to investigate the thermo-mechanical stress in work roll of rolling machines. These stresses may reduce the roll life. Since the investigation of the thermo-mechanical stress in work roll with real-conditions is complex, comprehensive studies by means of numerical methods are av...

abstract ground water flow and skin is the most important phenomenon in the process streams are involved not only in the face of the whole earth, but also of the life of man on earth can. degradation of coastal erosion, lateral stability and continuity in iran and around the world each year destroys fertilized agricultural lands around the river, coastal installations, bridges, and is general h...

Fiber reinforcement is widely used in construction engineering to improve the mechanical properties of soil because it increases the soil's strength and improves the soil's mechanical properties. However, the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced soils remain controversial. The present study investigated the mechanical properties of silty clay reinforced with discrete, randomly distributed ...

J. Kasińska, Faculty of Mechatronics and Machine Design, Kielce University of Technology, Kielce, Poland This paper presents influence of rare earth metals (REM) on the mechanical properties, microstructure and morphology of non metallic inclusions as well as the cracking mechanism of G17CrMo5-5 high temperature cast steel. The research has been performed on successive industrial melts. It was ...

The understanding of soil behavior during the last 300 years has centered on mechanical principles, geological processes, and later on, mineralogy and the relevance of colloidal chemistry. More recently, research in biology and earth science has enabled important advances in understanding the crucial involvement of microorganisms in the evolution of the earth, their ubiquitous presence in near ...
