The Environmental Impact of Soil Pollution on Human Health
Abstract: Soils are shaped by the decomposition of rock and organic matter over several years. Soil properties vary from place to place with difference in bedrock composition, climate and other factors. Certain chemical elements occur naturally in soils as components of minerals, yet may be toxic at some concentration. Various other potentially harmful substance may end up mixing with soils through human activities. This may lead to soil contamination which in …

Analysis of Geological Structure for the Application of Geotechnical Engineering to Optimize Thermal Extraction in Geothermal Wells
Abstract: The characterization of the geological terrain for geothermal applications from the heat transfer point of view has been made. Horizontal, vertical and inclined geological layers have been analyzed. Uniform and homogeneous terrain are better candidates for low or high enthalpy geothermal applications while heterogeneous soil have a poorer performance from the thermal transfer point of view. The characterization process of soil structure and properties allows to take the appropriate decision …

Rural Building Base Isolation for Seismic Protection Using LRB and Friction Isolator
Abstract: Over 50% of the population of India, which is still developing, lives in unreinforced masonry buildings. Masonry constructions perform poorly and can collapse suddenly because they are susceptible to seismic loads and loads acting out of plane. Building collapse not only destroys public property but also claims life. It has been demonstrated that base isolation approaches for these types of structures are advantageous; in the event of seismic forces, they …
