on fly ash to determine its properties, which may be used in road construction, earth dam construction, soil stabilization etc. If these materials can be used in highway or dam construction, it will be a great effort in minimizing the industrial pollution. Fly ash was collected from captive power plant from the dump pad of Rourkela steel plant. These are stored in air tight container after being oven-dried. Experiments such as determination of compaction properties, CBR analysis, Un-confined compressive

Global Warming: A Serious Problem for our World Trey Lee Northeastern State College Intro to Environmental Global Warming Global warming is a serious problem for our world. Global warming is an increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect. Global warming has occurred in the distant past as the result of natural influences, but the term is most often used to refer to the warming predicted

survives and develops in human society. Throughout the history of development of human society, every civilization is accompanied by major advances in energy improvements and change. The development and utilization of energy has greatly advanced the world economy and development of human society. The types of energy They can be divided into two kinds of energy- renewable energy and non-renewable energy. Renewable energy derives directly from the sun, or from heat generated deep within the earth

Glasses play an essential role in science and industry. Their chemical, physical, and in particular optical properties make them suitable for applications such as flat glass, container glass, optics and optoelectronics material, laboratory equipment, thermal insulator (glass wool), reinforcement fiber (glass-reinforced plastic, glass fiber reinforced concrete), and glass art (art glass, studio glass). Glass transition [pic] [pic]Glassblowing at temperatures just above the glass transition Glass

Graduation Project Paper Class of 2010 May 29, 2009 Global Warming The most important problem that concerns for many people all over the world is global warming. Global warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods are getting more frequent (by Karin Lindinger). Every problem has its own causes. Scientists have determined that a number of human activities are contributing to global warming

John Brown University Applied Research in Management OM 3123 Professor Kimberly Jones May 10, 2011 Abstract In recent years ecological activists have brought to our attention the impact we humans have placed on our planet as a whole. From pollution to global warming some type of environmental effect is brought up in our daily conversations. One major item of discussion is typically “going green”. The Monolithic Dome offers natural disaster resistance, physical damage resistance from insects

steadily for much of the twentieth century, particularly since 1950. In 2011, the world consumed 88 million barrels of oil per day, a 7% increase from 2010 (Statistical Review of World Energy, 2014). Most of the energy increases came from non-OECD countries (Statistical Review of World Energy, 2014).In current scenario, for the first time, oil demand in the developing world is expected to be higher than in industrialized world (Global energy usage, 2012).The dynamics of energy markets are increasingly

Abstract— In India 22%of the Geographical area is covered by expansive ‘Black Cotton Soil’. These soils are characterized by their highly swelling and shrinkage properties. In dry conditions these soils have high strength which is almost completely lost when they come in contact with water. These soils are having high degree of expansion which creates a lot of problems during the execution of work and after completion of it. Hence stabilization of such soil is prime importance. Attempts

Research Paper on Hybrid Cars The cars we use all over the world are detrimental to our Earth’s environment. In the United States, air quality often fails to meet federal standards. Air pollution, water pollution, global warming, and ozone depletion are some of the problems we face each day that reflect the consequences of our actions. The cars we drive emit exhaust gas, whose harmful elements cause acid rain and global warming. As a result of growing environmental concerns, the US government has
