Evaluation of The Resistance of Concrete by Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Steel Slag and Cement with Bentonite Powder
Abstract: According to the WHO, concrete is the third most consumed material by humans after food and water. Concrete consists of cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and water. In the production of cement, carbon dioxide is released into the environment, which becomes a big problem for environmental protection. Therefore, there is a need to modify the cement with some natural materials with pozzolanic properties. The aggregates, which are extracted from natural …

Impact of Landslides on Water Resource Management: Challenges and Mitigation Strategies
Abstract: Heavy rainfall often causes water to accumulate at the base of mountains, leading to soil saturationand the formation of mud with significantly diminished shear strength. This weakened soil conditioncannot withstand the shear stress imposed by the weight of the mountain, resulting in slope instabilityand subsequent landslides. Such landslides not only pose risks to infrastructure and human safety butalso have substantial effects on water resource management. Landslides disrupt natural water flow,cause …
