Construction over extremely expansive soils raises the risk of structural foundation failure and potential failure to the building itself.This is due to shrinkage and swell characteristics of expansive soils.This works presents an extensive case study of a distressed building built on drilled piers and expansive soil, and describes innovative pract
The response of the magnetopause surface to time-varying solar wind dynamic pressure is examined.We argue that to a first approximation the magnetopause surface may be considered as analogous to an elastic membrane.Upon displacement from equilibrium resulting from a change in applied external pressure, it moves to a new equilibrium under the equati
Earthworms as ecosystem engineers can modify the quality of vermibed assembled from mixed soil with organic material in a vermireactor.Various in shapes of the vermireactor are used to produce a vermicast for biofertilizer in agriculture.The objective of this research was to study the vermicast production and bullard usrx its quality produced from
Airborne wind energy systems (AWESs) represent a novel idea that aims to gather energy from stronger winds aloft while operating at altitudes above conventional wind turbines (WTs).For this study, we examined the wind resources at a height of 100 m available for traditional wind turbines with aerial wind energy technologies, in addition to the wind
