loads are transferred by grain-to-grain contact of the aggregate through the granular structure. The flexible pavement‚ having less flexural strength‚ acts like a flexible sheet (e.g. bituminous road). On the contrary‚ in rigid pavements‚ wheel loads are transferred to sub-grade soil by flexural strength of the pavement and the pavement acts like a rigid plate (e.g. cement concrete roads). In addition to these‚ composite pavements are also available. A thin

Materials that better suit a specified use. This lab tested two materials mild steel and cast iron. The data from each test was used to determine valuable material properties such as ultimate tensile strength‚ modulus of elasticity‚ and yield strength. Other calculated properties included true fracture strength‚ percent reduction of area‚ and percent elongation. These material properties were used to define the material as brittle or ductile. INTRODUCTION: Mechanical testing plays an important role

When the training becomes boring‚ the athletes don’t perform their best and are limiting their skills because neither their body nor their brain is being stimulated‚ these activities should encourage their interest 2.

Kevlar ’s structure consists of relatively rigid molecules‚ which tend to form sheet-like structures that have similarities to silk proteins. Kevlar can be used by itself or as part as o composite material to give added strength. It is best known for its use in bullet proof vests and knife proof body armour. It is also used for reinforcement in car tires‚ car brakes‚ strings of archery bows‚ and also in car‚ boat and aircraft bodies. Kevlar is used in the aircraft Apache

Studies indicate that exercising raises the count of T-lymphocytes (T-cells) in the immune system‚ making the body more resistant to viruses. Weight training and cardiovascular exercise increase strength of muscles and the heart and eliminates excessive weight gain and heart disease.
