ABSTRACT Clay soil posses a great threat causes problem on civil engineering structures due to its tendency to swell when it is in contact with water and shrinks when they dry out. Stabilization using chemical admixtures is the oldest and popular method of soil improvement. In this study, an investigation was conducted to explore the possibility... Continue Reading

 ABSTRACT Drying is the oldest method of preserving agricultural products and it is an energy intensive  process. High prices ·and shortages of fossil fuels have increased the emphasis on using  alternative renewable energy resources. Drying of agricultural products using renewable energy  such as solar energy is environmental friendly and... Continue Reading
