Permanent deformation is one of the distress that develops gradually as number load applications increases and appears longitudinal depressions in wheel paths small upheavals to sides. For this reason, numerous studies conducted on modification asphalt binder or mixture by various fibre. This paper presents evaluation creep modulus permanent modified with fibres. In order envisage mixture, Fort...

This xction explains the harvesting system selected. based upon topography, soil condition. arid tree si~c. L /I is a highly mechmized, capital intensive s)*stern which includes tracked fellerbulltYlers to rut and bunch the trees. and trucked forwarders to transport the bunched trees to a H*/IO/CJ tree chipper. The chips will be loaded into vans md trunsported to a designated site. The total ca...

Two different optical configurations were developed and are described. The first is a laser profiling system that is used for transverse profile acquisition for rut detection purposes. The second uses an autosynchronized laser scanning sensor for crack detection Both these systems have been installed on inspection vehicles and have been tested. Tests have shown results that have a very good cor...

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori, as an etiologic cause of peptic ulcers and gastric cancer, should be tested and treated. The true state of infection can only be detected by isolation of gastric biopsies through the invasive method of gastroscopy. However, there are several non-invasive methods for detection of infection, the most common of which is serology. Methods: Here we have evaluated t...

The asphalt industry is increasingly developing with greater focus on sustainability. This study focuses the benefits of a binder modification stone mastic (SMA) by adding rubber—ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)—into class 320 bitumen. observes advantages that occur for rutting and fatigue performance samples. was made incorporating 0, 2, 4 6% weight into each sample. tests performed sam...

During the rut, female ungulates move among harems or territories, either to sample mates or to avoid harassment. Females may be herded by a male, may stay with a preferred male, or aggregate near a dominant male to avoid harassment from other males. In fission-fusion group dynamics, female movement is best described by the group's fission probability, instead of inter-harem movement. In this s...

There are no existing local design manuals and construction guidelines for reinforced earth structures in Kenya. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance pavement found on sections along Outer Ring Road. structural evaluation determined from deflection measurements using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), while functional by visual condition survey, roughness, rut depth meas...

One of the most severe problems with flexible asphalt pavements is permanent deformation in form rutting. Accordingly, practice adding fiber elements to mix improve performance under dynamic loading has grown significantly order prevent rutting distress and ensure a safe long-lasting road surface. This paper explores effects combination ceramic (CF), low-cost, easily available mineral fiber, th...
