Abstract

The Fahliyan Formation (Lower Cretaceous) is composed of carbonate rocks and is composed of carbonate reservoir rocks in the Zagros Basin. The Zagros are located on the boundary between the Arabian and Eurasian lithosphere plates and are the orogenic response to a collision between Eurasia and advancing Arabia during the Cenozoic. The study area is located at the northwestern part of Kuh- E- Gadvan, ~45 km northeast of Shiraz in the Folded Zagros Zone. Fahliyan Formation at Kuh- E- Gadvan, with a thickness of 325 meters consisted of thin to thick bedded limestone. The careful examination of thin sections led to the recognition of nine microfacies which was performed on the basis of skeletal and non- skeletal grains and matrix. Microscopic and macroscopic evidences show that Fahliyan Formation facies can be divided into four facies belts, on the basis of depositional features, specific of carbonate platforms of rimmed shelf type. These belts include tidal flat, lagoon, barrier and open marine environments.

Abstract

The study was conducted at Nnewi –South of Anambra State, Nigeria  to characterize soil in erosion prone area in order to know  nutritional values of the soil to enable farmers employ appropriate measures to conserving the soils for high  productivity. Soil auger studies were made  at  three locations  where traverse was cut.Three profile pits designated ECH/UK/ 01 (upper slope) , ECH/UK/ 02 (middle slope ) and ECH/UK/ 03 (lower slope)  were sited and  samples of soils were taken to test for physico-chemical properties of the soils. The results revealed that the soils are  deep, well drained , dark reddish brown to reddish brown, and yellowish red of the Munsell color notation. The soil texture in the three pedons have coarse texture that ranged from sandy clay loam to sandy loam, with high percentage of sand which is the reflection of the parent material. The bulk density ranged between between 1.50 – 1.80 g/cm3,, soil pH  (3.33 – 4.09) indicating very strong acidity status,  O.C.(0.28 – 0.89%), O.M (0.48- 1.54%), total N ( 0.042 – 0.98%), Available P ( 2.80 – 11.00 mg.kg-1),  Na+( 0.113 – 270cmol.kg-1), K+(0.036 – 0.087 cmol.kg-1), Mg++(0.80-5.60 cmol.kg-1), Ca++(0.42 – 10.40 cmol.kg-1), EA (0.24 -1.28 cmol.kg-1)  CEC( 3.104 – 16.966 cmol.kg-1), and BS ( 80.28 – 96.06%) indicating low fertility rate of the soil due to heavy leaching and intensive agricultural activities that leads to erosion of the soil to devastating stage, which could be restored by reforestation programme, integrated Nutrient Management Options, and Effective public enlightenment campaign about the advantages of soil conservation for environmental sustainability.

Abstract

The three dimensional dispersion of thermo elastic waves in a homogeneous isotropic rotating cylindrical   panel is investigated in the context of the linear theory of thermo elasticity. Three displacement potential functions are introduced to uncouple the equations of motion. The frequency equations are obtained using the traction free boundary conditions. The Bessel function with complex argument is directly used to analyze the frequency equations. The analysis of thermally induced vibration of rotating cylindrical panel is common place in the design of structures, atomic reactors, steam turbines, supersonic aircraft, and other devices operating at elevated temperature. In order to illustrate theoretical development, numerical solutions are obtained and presented graphically for a zinc material .To compare the model with the exiting literature, the non dimensional frequencies for different thickness to inner radius ratio are computed and  they show very good agreement.

Abstract

This experiment study aimed to use of the waste tires in asphalt mixture as additive. Research has shown that scrap waste tire can be partial replacement by 2% total weight of aggregate retained in No. 4 sieve has an average performance. Characteristics compared to the standard eequirements conformable code. Moreover, the use of scrap waste tire would result in the reduction of waste. High stability of asphalt mixture can be made and the incorporation of admixture or substitute to improve the properties of the mixture. Test result of specimens indicates the stability, and bonding strength of properties, and different reaction when gradation and scrap tire contents have varied. Marshall test having an appropriate workable mixing and right temperature gave sufficient compressive strength and lessen its flow or it deformation under a certain loads.

Abstract

Carbon steels and stainless steels are more frequently welded joints than any other materials because of their weldability characteristics. So the spot welded joining characteristic of these two materials are discussed in this paper. The experiment was conducted on medium carbon steel and 304L austenitic stainless by varying the process controlling parameters; such as welding current, welding time and electrode pressing force. As such two sets of data were collected to characterize the formation of spot weld using pneumatic based 75kVA spot welder. The first set was made for the variation of welding time and current whereas the second was made for the variation of welding current and electrode force. The welded specimens are finally underwent the tensile test, hardness test and metallurgical test to characterize the weld growth. The weld nugget growth was noticed for the welding current and weld time increment except the electrode force. By increasing the electrode force, the process resistances were reduced and consequently the weld nugget was reduced. Moreover the effect of heat imbalance was clearly noticed in the weld nuggets due to different electrical and chemical properties.

Abstract

Construction industry is one of the most significant industries that contribute toward socio-economic growth especially to developing countries. The nature of the industry are fragmented, unique and complex which always face chronic problems like time overrun (70% of projects), cost overrun (average 14% of contract cost), and waste generation (approximately 10% of material cost). It is also regarded as one of the largest polluters to our environment. Traditional practices of construction process and management are found unable to control unprecedented challenges including the carbon emission issue. These challenges accent the need for practitioners to rethink and improve the construction process and technology. This shows that the construction industry has a major potential in the advancement of sustainable development by addressing issues related to the economic, social, and environment. By adopting sustainable construction, it can reduce the overall energy use and maximize potential for renewable energy supply, minimize waste, conserve water resources, enhance water quality, incorporate water sensitive design and minimize vulnerability to flooding, minimize polluting emissions to water, air and soil and minimize noise and light pollution.

Abstract

Grey system theory and rough set theory are two different mathematical tools that are used to deal with uncertain or incomplete information, and yet they are relevant and complementary to a certain degree. The appropriate hybrid of the two theories can overcome the shortages of their definitions and applications and thus has more powerful functions. This paper proposes An Integrated Methodology that extracting decision rules based on combining grey system and rough set theory. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology was verified by application of this methodology to discover grade rules of electrical transformer evaluation.
