Construction of civil engineering structures on weak soil without taking necessary precautions may be risky. Alluvial that has not completed its geological formation a high void ratio and contains organic material therefore, the strength properties these soils should examined carefully. In this study, undrained shear (cu) behavior natural polypropylene (PP) fiber-reinforced alluvial clays was i...

Background and Objectives: Nowadays corn flakes are the most common form of breakfast cereals however, their vitamins are declined during the baking process. In this research, production of fortified corn flakes by Lactobacillus plantarum and L. reuteri, as well as incorporation of oat and malt fiber as prebiotics have been studied. Materials and Methods: Plackett-Burman statistical design was...

PURPOSE The aim of this in-vitro investigation was to describe the effect of reinforcement with different fibers on impact strength of heat polymerized polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture base resin and to analyze the effect of surface treatment of the fibers on the impact strength. MATERIALS AND METHODS The specimens were fabricated from the dies formed as per standard ASTM D4812. 2% by w...

The fly ash is a waste produced mostly from the burning of coal in thermal power station which contributes to environmental pollution. It is naturally-cementitious coal combustion by-product. Many studies have been reported in the literature on the performance evaluation of soil – fly ash system as well soil-fly ashfiber system. Although ample studies have been reported with randomly distribute...

This paper aims to study the permeability of High-Performance Concrete containing natural pozzolan and reinforced with fibers in high concentration sodium chloride solution. Optimized finely ground was employed as 6% partial substitution cement. Polypropylene 6 mm 12 lengths were introduced individually for a volume fraction 0.1% 0.15% respectively. Then, combination total fiber content 0.25%. ...
