Encapsulation of Waste in Cementitious Systems for use in Civil Engineering Applications
The continuous proliferation of plastic materials in industries has led to the generation of huge volumes of waste plastics, which must be properly disposed of to prevent contamination of the natural environment. In line with current global efforts to tackle the enormity of plastic debris in the …

Flexural Behaviour of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Tunnel Linings
The promotion of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) as a construction material for tunnel linings has prompted a number of researchers to focus on methods of evaluating their flexural strength and stiffness. This thesis presents the results of an experimental and numerical investigation of the …

Nitrification in premise plumbing and its effect on corrosion and water quality degradation
… are essential to nitrification by leaching from concrete or other materials. As a general rule it was determined that concrete and iron materials encouraged growth of nitrifiers in certain oligotrophic waters, materials such as lead, PVC/plastic pipe, glass and surfaces of other materials were …

The Compressive And Flexural Strength Of Concrete Containing Recycled Waste Plastic
<p>Annually, tons of plastic wastes end up in landfills and the oceans through indiscriminate dumping, constituting a major source of pollution to the environment and threat to human health and marine lives. It therefore necessitates an innovative strategy to help mitigate the environmental hazards …
