Compressibility behavior of marine clay treated by combination of coal ash and cement by Pakir, F, Ismail, N A, Yunos, N Z M, Jamaludin, N, Talib, M K A, Dan, M F M, Madun, A

“…A lot of engineering problems could arise either during or after the construction phase due to low shear strength and high compressibility of this soil in the form of excessive settlement, slope instability or bearing capacity failure. The real challenge with marine clay is stability and settlement when construction takes place. …”

Computational and experimental study of a platinum thin-film based oil condition and contamination sensor by Sridhar, V, Chana, KS, Singh, D

“…Oil contamination occurs when metallic or non-metallic particles are produced due to wear of the machine components such as bearings, gears etc. and these particles may not be always captured by the filtering system that are already in the lubrication system. …”

The tribological performance of nano-activated carbon as solid additives in modified calophyllum inophyllum based-metalworking fluid by Zubaidah, Zamri, Amiril Sahab, Abdul Sani, Radhiyah, Abd Aziz, Ainaa Mardhiah, Sabri, Norfazillah, Talib

“…The nano-additives have converted the sliding effect into a ball-bearing effect between the interfaces of the balls, creating a better oil protective film that helps form a gap between the mating surfaces during tribological testing.…”

Experimental investigation into load settlement characteristics of piled rafts in sand by Leong, Hazel Xueling.

“…Studies by many notable researchers in the years to come suggest that the most effective combinations of piles and raft happens when all the initial loading can be borne with the raft’s bearing capacity alone. The role of the piles was solely to reduce the excessive settlement experienced by the plain raft.…”
