a state of the art review on soil reinforcement technology using natural plant fiber Materials past findings present trends and future directions
Materials, 2018Co-Authors: Sivakumar Gowthaman, Kazunori Nakashima, Satoru KawasakiAbstract:Incorporating sustainable Materials into geotechnical applications increases day by day due to the consideration of impacts on healthy geo-environment and future generations. The environmental issues associated with conventional Synthetic Materials such as cement, plastic-composites, steel and ashes necessitate alternative approaches in geotechnical engineering. Recently, natural fiber Materials in place of Synthetic Material have gained momentum as an emulating soil-reinforcement technique in sustainable geotechnics. However, the natural fibers are innately different from such Synthetic Material whereas behavior of fiber-reinforced soil is influenced not only by physical-mechanical properties but also by biochemical properties. In the present review, the applicability of natural plant fibers as oriented distributed fiber-reinforced soil (ODFS) and randomly distributed fiber-reinforced soil (RDFS) are extensively discussed and emphasized the inspiration of RDFS based on the emerging trend. Review also attempts to explore the importance of biochemical composition of natural-fibers on the performance in subsoil reinforced conditions. The treatment methods which enhances the behavior and lifetime of fibers, are also presented. While outlining the current potential of fiber reinforcement technology, some key research gaps have been highlighted at their importance. Finally, the review briefly documents the future direction of the fiber reinforcement technology by associating bio-mediated technological line.

screen cloth with heat shrinkable weft yarns especially for greenhouse window insect screen has warp and weft yarn interlacing providing sharp fold edges
2004Co-Authors: Vlottes Ruud, Mansveld SteveAbstract:A special interlacing is provided between the warp yarns (V) and weft yarns (I-IV) along the fold edges in the harmonica structure. A screen cloth (1), especially for an insect screen for a ventilation window in a greenhouse has a mesh structure comprising warp and weft yarns at least predominantly comprising a first Synthetic Material. Some of the weft yarns are heat-shrinkable ones comprising a second Synthetic Material which shrink significantly compared with the first Material yarns following a heat treatment. At least one special warp yarn interlacing is provided along the fold edges in the resulting harmonica structure.

pubovaginal sling using cadaveric allograft fascia for the treatment of intrinsic sphincter deficiency
The Journal of Urology, 1998Co-Authors: James E Wright, Christophe E Iselin, Lesley K Carr, George D WebsterAbstract:AbstractPurpose: Pubovaginal sling is the definitive management of female stress urinary incontinence due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Customarily, autologous fascia has been used, although Synthetic Material has its proponents. Harvesting autologous fascia at surgery is associated with postoperative discomfort, and Synthetic Material has a history of infection and erosion. To assess whether allograft fascia is free from these drawbacks, we retrospectively compared the outcome of women undergoing pubovaginal sling using either autologous or cadaveric allograft fascia.Materials and Methods: We reviewed our experience during the last 28 months with patients treated with the pubovaginal sling for intrinsic sphincter deficiency. All patients underwent preoperative video urodynamics. The outcome was assessed using the SEAPI scoring system. Special attention was devoted to local sling tolerance. Operative time and length of hospital stay were compared between patients with allograft and autograft pubovagi...
