In the field of soil mechanics, especially in transportation and environmental geotechnics, the use of machine learning (ML) techniques has emerged as a powerful tool for predicting and understanding the compressive strength behavior of soils especially graded ones.This is to overcome the sophisticated equipment, laboratory space and cost needs uti… Read More


Focusing on sustainable development, the demand for alternative materials in concrete, especially for Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC), has risen due to excessive cement usage and resulting CO2 emissions.As Compressive Strength (CS) is dominant among concrete properties, this research concentrates on developing SCC by incorporating Rice Husk Apple Co… Read More


Abstract Background Open access (OA) is a revolutionary way of providing access to the scholarly journal literature made possible by the Internet.The primary aim of this study was to measure the volume of scientific articles published in full immediate OA journals from 2000 to 2011, while observing longitudinal internal shifts in the structure of O… Read More


The partitioning of soluble compounds of LNAPL in groundwater is the most common scenario of release of organic contaminants in aquifers.The efficiency of this process depends of several factors, the main interfacial area LNAPL / water.In this work has been established and tested a preliminary conceptual model that includes the processes that gover… Read More
