Enhancing Asphalt Performance and Its Long-Term Sustainability with Nano Calcium Carbonate and Nano Hydrated Lime
...Show More Authors

Nanomaterials enhance the performance of both asphalt binders and asphalt mixtures. They also improve asphalt durability, which reduces resource consumption and environmental impact in the long term associated with the production and transportation of asphalt materials. Thus, this paper studies the effectiveness of Nano Calcium Carbonate (Nano CaCO3) and Nano Hydrated Lime (NHL) as modifiers and examines their impact on ranges from 0% to 10% through comprehensive laboratory tests. Softening point, penetration, storage stability, viscosity, and mass loss due to short-term aging using the Rolling Thin Film Oven Test (RTFO) were performed on asphalt binders. Results indicated a significant improvement in binder stiffness, particularly at 4% Nano CaCO3 and 6% NHL content by weight. Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) tests further revealed substantial improvements in rutting resistance, with NHL exhibiting superior high-temperature stability and a notable increase in the rutting factor. Marshall stability tests on asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures showed a 22.3% increase in stability with 6% NHL by weight, surpassing the 20.2% improvement observed with Nano CaCO3 and indicating enhanced load-bearing capacity. The resilient modulus of the mixtures consistently increased with the addition of NHL, suggesting improved durability in rutting. Moisture susceptibility tests revealed that NHL significantly enhances moisture resistance, exceeding the 80% TSR benchmark at just 2% content by weight and reaching an impressive 94.6% at 10% content by weight. In contrast, Nano CaCO3 demonstrated a more gradual improvement, achieving an 88.2% TSR at 10% content. Furthermore, permanent deformation analysis indicated a 68.64% improvement in rutting resistance with 10% NHL content by weight, exceeding Nano CaCO3’s improvement rate. Optimal fatigue resistance was achieved at 4% for Nano CaCO3 and 6% for NHL by weight, with respective CT index improvements of 30% and 35.4%, showing NHL’s consistent benefits across various nanomaterial contents. Overall, the study suggests that both Nano CaCO3 and NHL positively impact asphalt performance, with NHL offering more pronounced benefits across a range of properties. These findings provide valuable insights for pavement engineers and underscore NHL’s potential as an effective additive in asphalt mixture design. Real-world applications and validations are essential for a comprehensive understanding of these nanomaterials in practical pavement engineering scenarios.

Evaluation of Geomechanical Properties for Tight Reservoir Using Uniaxial Compressive Test, Ultrasonic Test, and Well Logs Data
...Show More Authors

Tight reservoirs have attracted the interest of the oil industry in recent years according to its significant impact on the global oil product. Several challenges are present when producing from these reservoirs due to its low to extra low permeability and very narrow pore throat radius. Development strategy selection for these reservoirs such as horizontal well placement, hydraulic fracture design, well completion, and smart production program, wellbore stability all need accurate characterizations of geomechanical parameters for these reservoirs. Geomechanical properties, including uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), static Young’s modulus (Es), and Poisson’s ratio (υs), were measured experimentally using both static and dynamic met

The effect of using Gaussian, Kurtosis and LogCosh as kernels in ICA on the satellite classification accuracy
...Show More Authors

This study focusses on the effect of using ICA transform on the classification accuracy of satellite images using the maximum likelihood classifier. The study area represents an agricultural area north of the capital Baghdad - Iraq, as it was captured by the Landsat 8 satellite on 12 January 2021, where the bands of the OLI sensor were used. A field visit was made to a variety of classes that represent the landcover of the study area and the geographical location of these classes was recorded. Gaussian, Kurtosis, and LogCosh kernels were used to perform the ICA transform of the OLI Landsat 8 image. Different training sets were made for each of the ICA and Landsat 8 images separately that used in the classification phase, and used to calcula

...Show More Authors

This investigation pertains to the evaluation of water quality in SAWA Lake, located in the Al-Muthanna province of Southern Iraq, from 1977 to 2020. Understanding the water quality and assessments of this Lake is of great importance. The Lake is home to small, transparent, blind fish measuring approximately 10 cm and is often referred to as the "wonderful" or "strange" Lake due to its many unique features. The study focuses on several elements to represent water quality, including total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), pH, and temperature (T), which were measured directly in the field. Additionally, scientific concepts such as K+, Ca2+, Cl-, HCO
