MECHANICAL AND MICROSTRUCTURAL CHANGES IN EXPANSIVE SOILS TREATED WITH LIME AND LIGNIN FIBER FROM PAPER INDUSTRY

Mechanical and Microstructural Changes in Expansive Soils Treated with Lime and Lignin Fiber from Paper Industry

Expansive soil exhibits significant swellings and shrinkages, which may chicago cubs tumbler result in severe damage or the collapse of structures built upon it.Calcium-based admixtures, such as lime, are commonly used to improve this problematic soil.However, traditional chemical additions can increase significant environmental stress.This paper p

Influence of carbon nanotubes on the buckling of microtubule bundles in viscoelastic cytoplasm using nonlocal strain gradient theory

Carbon nanotubes are a new class of microtubule-stabilizing agents since they interact with protein microtubules in living cells, interfering with cell division and inducing apoptosis.In the present work, a modified beam model is developed to investigate the effect of carbon nanotubes on the buckling of microtubule bundles in living cell.A realisti
