Microplastics (MPs) are emerging persistent contaminants in the terrestrial subsurface, and evidence has emerged for significant effects of MPs on biological ecosystem functions soils. Main MP sources include land spreading sewage sludge biowaste composts, plastic mulching film used horticultural fields, waste water irrigation leachate from landfills, among others. This updated state-of-the-art review paper describes recent experimental numerical research developments understanding...
The present study was aimed at perspective utilisation of two wastes, bauxite residue (BR), an extremely alkaline material, and phosphogypsum (PG), a highly acidic substance, entirely different natures. Development alkali-activated mortar targeting pavement applications explored. As BR PG alone proved to be ineffectual in developing geopolymer/alkali-activated because undesirably low compressive strength, the challenge lies synthesis with high strength using combination these wastes....
This study investigates the use of metakaolin as a partial replacement for cement in concrete, ranging from 0% to 30% with an increment 5% total seven mixes is used this study. In addition its glass fibers are improve properties concrete 0.5 2% 0.5%. The primary objective evaluate effects and on mechanical durability concrete. A comprehensive experimental program was conducted measure various parameters, including compressive strength, tensile flexural strength. results were then compared...
Expansive soils exhibit significantly high volumetric deformations and hence, pose a serious threat to stability of structures foundations. As such, determination their swelling properties (viz., potential pressure) becomes essential. Earlier researchers have developed various experimental techniques, empirical relationships based on the results obtained from these investigations, for determining characteristics soils. However, although techniques help in direct estimation soils,...
Previous studies revealed that the geotechnical properties of red mud waste (RMW) closely resemble conventional soils. Due to predominant presence exchangeable sodium, RMW tends exhibit high-dispersion behaviour. In this study, mitigation dispersion characteristics using eco-friendly biopolymers was investigated. Two types biopolymers, namely guar gum (GG) and xanthan (XG), in 0·5, 1, 2, 3 4% (by weight), were selected for study. The untreated polymer-amended samples subjected cylindrical...
In this study, the usefulness of two biopolymers (guar gum and xanthan gum) in improving strength properties types red muds was explored. Experiments were performed to determine unconfined compressive establish morphological mineralogical compositions stabilised samples cured for 7, 28, 45 90 d. The obtained results interpreted understand mud–biopolymer interactions. Considerable improvement samples, by four five times, vis-à-vis that untreated observed. Based on different admixture contents...
