A soil depleted of its organic carbon content is typically destabilized, i.e., capacity to maintain microstructure intact under various stress conditions weakens, and consequently, landslides mudflows can be triggered propagated more easily. In a previous work, we showed with rheological analysis that the removal sole water-soluble “destabilized” slurry very similarly what occurs vast majority ...

In this work, it is reported a comparison between solid microspheres produced from glass having conventional industrial sand (IS) and glasses made with rice husk ashes (RHA) as source of silica. The same composition was used to fabricate both glasses. focused the production for road horizontal marking, which would attend type classification called Premix. were obtained by flame method. results ...

Biomass ashes (BA) have been intensively studied as amendments for soil in earthworks. This paper aimed to geotechnically characterize BA from pines and olive trees compared the Castelo Branco, Portugal. Namely, granulometry, specific gravity, Atterberg limits optimal compaction values were obtained analyzed order valorize residue incorporated into soils. work is part of broader efforts develop...

Abstract The present work aims to produce Ti x Cu 100-x ( = 90, 80, 70, and 60) amorphous alloys by using high energy ball mill. microstructure possible formation of phases were characterized employing laser granulometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). amorphous-crystalline transformation at temperatures was studied according differential calori...
