Assessment of Strength and Bending of Concrete Containing Crushed Glass and Fibers

561 (Abstract) 490 (Download) PDF

Abstract This paper presents proposed investigations of the influence of crushed glass and fibers on the mechanical properties of concrete. Conventional concrete has lack tension in order to improve its flexural strength and compressive strength. This study has adopted the addition of PET fibers and recycled waste glass fibers to concrete. The study uses M25 grade concrete to study the effects o... more

A Proof of Concept Zinc-Mediated RDRP of Alanine Acrylamide for Efficient Dye Encapsulation to Clean the Wastewater for Green Environment

531 (Abstract) 220 (Download) PDF

A PH-responsive synthetic biohybrid biohybrid module poly (L-alanine acrylamide)-blockpoly(methylmethacrylate (PAAla-b-PMMA) diblock biohybrids, based on hydrophilic PAAla and hydrophobic PMAA segments, is developed via direct switching from Zinc (Zn) catalyst polymerization. EbiB was used as an initiator to Zn-mediate Reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) of alanine-derived monome... more

The research is devoted to elaboration of new materials for agricultural use what is regarded as an urgent need for environment pollution decrease and enhancing of farming efficiency. Gel of polyvinyl alcohol complexed with boric acid or borax is suggested first time as the base of “aroma fixative” for volatile compounds possessing by insect repelling effect. Some new principles are discussed in f... more

Rehabilitation of Urban Parks with Recycling of Construction and Demolition Waste in Mexico City

728 (Abstract) 273 (Download) PDF

Mexico City has experienced a rapid urbanization process, which has led to a socio-environmental crisis characterized by the generation of construction and demolition waste (CDW). The generation of CDW has been favored by the growth of the construction industry, the decrease in the useful life of buildings and an increase in the number of new buildings. To reduce the environmental impacts of CDW, ... more
