The loading path the fault experiences is often neglected when evaluating its potential for reactivation and related seismic risk. However, stress history affects zone compaction dilation, thus mechanics. Therefore, in incohesive cores that could dilate or compact, role of not be ruled out. Here we reproduce laboratory different tectonic paths reverse (load-strengthening absence significant flu...

Protein loop compaction and the origin of the effect of arginine and glutamic acid 1 mixtures on solubility, stability and transient oligomerization of proteins 2 3 Jascha Blobel, Ulrika Brath, Pau Bernadó, Carl Diehl, Lidia Ballester, 4 Alejandra Sornosa, Mikael Akke & Miquel Pons 5 6 1.

Traffic-induced soil compaction and tillage systems can impact the productivity and sustainability of agricultural soils. The objective of this study was to assess the response of soil microbial populations to wheel-traffic in two tillage systems on a Norfolk loamy sand (Typic Kandiudults; FAO classification Luxic Ferralsols). Experimental variables were with and without traffic under conventio...

Water susceptible properties of subgrade soils play important role in the structural design of highways. In this research study laboratory investigations were conducted on subgrade soil samples for determining the influence of water susceptible properties on Natural moisture content, Optimum moisture content, Compaction, California Bearing Ratio (CBR)-soaked and unsoaked, and Unconfined Compres...

Aggregate base plays an important role in a pavement structure. It supports the asphalt concrete (AC) layer and reduces the wheel load-induced stresses on the underlying layers so that the stresses transmitted to the subgrade do not result in excessive deformation. The base layer also functions as a drainage layer. Consequently, it is important to understand the drainage and strength characteri...

Compaction is a mechanical process in which an earthen material is made more dense. The densification occurs as a direct result of the mechanical loading, and is essentially complete at the end of the loading. Volume changes are incurred as a result of a reduction in the quantity of air voids— water content remaining constant. Since it is impractical to squeeze out all the air, the as-compacted...

the aim of this study was to introduce modified continuous wave compaction (mcwc) technique and compare its obturation quality with that of lateral compaction (lc), warm vertical compaction (wvc) and continuous wave compaction techniques (cwc). the obturation time was also compared among the four techniques.sixty-four single-rooted teeth with 0-5° root canal curve and 64 artificially created ro...

Compaction of porous rocks can occur in two modes: uniform and localized. Recent experimental work has demonstrated that compaction can occur in tabular zones that expand with increasing applied deformation. The appearance of compaction bands and their growth has a strong influence on the measured permeability of the host rock. The rock behind the moving compaction front can be either uniformly...
