It is well-known that the inclusion of composite geogrids (CGGs) into pavement structure assists to maximise benefits geosynthetic-reinforcement in flexible pavements. However, use CGGs practice limited Queensland, Australia regardless its potential benefits, mainly due absence rational design guidelines. Therefore, this study was conducted develop guidelines unpaved granular pavements/working ...

Al7075 alloy reinforced with h-Boron Nitrate (BN) composites were processed by stir casting technique. The produced composite was subjected to microstructural studies using OLYMPUS -BX51M, tensile, hardness, density and wear tests. Tensile strength and hardness were found to increase by 12.8% and 20% respectively due to increased dislocation density with the addition of reinforcement. Microstru...

recognizing the importance of the advertising in brand reinforcement and brand credibility, the authors conduct the present research for understanding the customers’ emotional responses toward the brand reinforcement and credibility and its effect on the perceived values and behavioral intentions. hypotheses were tested on data collected from 467 customers of mellat bank in semnan province in i...

When the foundations of structures under cyclic loading with amplitudes less than their permissible load, the concern exists often for the amount of uniform and non-uniform settlement of such structures. Storage tank foundations with numerous filling and discharging and railways ballast course under repeating transportation loads are examples of such conditions. This paper deals with the effect...
