Maximizing Void Properties from Optimized Local Pozzolans in Wearing Course of Bituminous Concrete Mixtures
Abstract: Failure of asphalt pavement has influenced research into better ways to optimize local pozzolans seenas waste and reduce cost of importation of admixtures. Waste Shell Ashes are checked as localassembled by incorporating them in asphalt concrete mix design. Different research has shown thatsome agricultural waste/by-products can be admitted as mineral fillers in hot-mix asphalt concrete toobtain certain desirable properties. It is on this basis that this research attempts to interrogate …

The Production Advanced Carbon Nanocomposite Materials by Using the Method of Vibro-turbulization
Abstract: Nanocomposites are materials that contain nano-sized particles in a matrix of a standard material. The addition of nanoparticles to the matrix results in a sharp improvement in the properties of the resulting nanomaterial, including mechanical strength, toughness, and electrical or thermal conductivity. Existing methods for the synthesis of nanocomposites, consisting in the laser decomposition of an aerosol of a ferrocene solution in toluene, as a result of which a nanocomposite …

The new method of composite materials production
Abstract: The existing methods for production, for example, polymer composite materials: the pressing (direct, injection, profile), the injection molding (injection, intrusion, centrifugal molding, and autoclaving), the extrusion, the pultrusion, the contact molding, the winding, vacuum molding and pneumatic molding do not permit to reach the main goal of the production of unique composite materials with a basis (matrix) filled by uniformly distributed filler (armoured element), having high strength and rigidity. The …

Development of Epoxy Based Hybrid Composite Reinforced with Jute and Glass-fiber and Effect of Silicon Carbide additive on it’s Mechanical Properties
Abstract: In this project, an effort is made to compare the improvement of the matrix material properties because of the presence of the fillers and additives. Initially, hand lay-up process was carried out in a mold of known dimensions to layup jute fibers of varying weight percentages in the epoxy matrix. Another composite with glass fibers of similar weight percentages to that of jute were laid up in epoxy matrix in …
