(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The ability to walk or ride a bike safely to and from metro stations is essential to the success of any metro service, especially for car users switching to the service. The main purpose of this study is to develop and ...
Evaluation of short-term aging protocol for asphalt mixtures
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Asphalt mixtures are subjected to short-term aging during the production, placement, and compaction processes. Proper evaluation of asphalt pavement performance relies on the accurate characterization of asphalt mixtures ...
Organically modified nanoclay filled thin-film nanocomposite membranes for reverse osmosis application
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
This study validates, for the first time, the effectiveness of two nanoclays, that is, cloisite (CS)-15A and montmorillonite (MNT) at the polyamide (PA) active layer in the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Cloisite-15A is ...
