Guidelines For The Application Of Recycled Concrete Aggregate In The Egyptian Construction Industry, Ahmed Moustafa Essam Aly Kamel Jul 2007

Guidelines For The Application Of Recycled Concrete Aggregate In The Egyptian Construction Industry, Ahmed Moustafa Essam Aly Kamel

Archived Theses and Dissertations

Construction industry is one of the most important fractions of economy worldwide. This industry consumes enormous amounts of raw materials and produces considerable waste. The optimization of construction material usage not only saves costs but also can significantly contribute towards sustainable development. The concept of recycling the construction and demolition rubble is being addressed in this study as a solution. The recycling of concrete, resulting from both the construction activities and the demolition activities, in order to be used as a source of aggregate is being focused upon in this study. Although the idea of using recycled concrete has been …

Utilization Of Thermopolastic Rejects With Different Reinforcing Elements In The Production Of Manhole Covers, Lama Mosad El Hatow Jun 2007

Utilization Of Thermopolastic Rejects With Different Reinforcing Elements In The Production Of Manhole Covers, Lama Mosad El Hatow

Archived Theses and Dissertations

This thesis aims to investigate the potential usage of rejected non-recyclable contaminated plastic rejects with different reinforcing elements to produce a viable product such as a manhole cover. Contaminated plastic rejects are generally deemed unrecyclable due to the cost and effort, including money, water, energy associated with cleaning the product in order to recycle it. By recycling these contaminated plastic rejects as is and reinforcing it with different reinforcing elements, we can enhance the mechanical properties of the material to enable it to be used as a viable, durable product such as a manhole cover. Problems associated with manhole covers …


Effective Recharge From Stream Beds In Arid Basins, Sherif Kamal Fouad Kamel Feb 2007

Effective Recharge From Stream Beds In Arid Basins, Sherif Kamal Fouad Kamel

Archived Theses and Dissertations

Arid regions are characterized by scarce rainfall with long dry periods in-between the storms. These regions of the world are under severe and increasing pressure because the water shortage is almost the main obstacle facing their development plans. Assessment of the natural renewable water resources is urgently needed these days. This study appraises the effective groundwater recharge from ephemeral streams in arid regions. The assessment of the effective recharge is through the development of a numerical model coupling the surface model (SWMM) and the subsurface model (HYDRUS-ID).
