This study deals with the soil inertia influence on the dynamic response of a plate for rigid pavements design. The pavement is modeled as a thin plate with finite dimensions supported by dowels and tie bars. The foundation soil is three-parameter [...]

The behaviour of plates resting on elastic foundations has wide interest because it is an important model for many engineering applications. Natural frequencies and correspond- ing mode shapes are guides to investigating the behaviour of a soil-struc [...]
The instability of the soils due to the swelling phenomenon is among others at the origin of enormous damages in civil engineering works such the deformations, the cracking, the tearing, the wear of the rotation surface and the destruction of the fou [...]

Les résultats des évaluations ont montré que le pressage de 40 kg de pulpe de manioc nécessite une pression de 53,67 ± 2,33 bars donnant un taux d’humidité de 46,67 ± 0,30 % de la pulpe pressée. La capacité horaire et le taux d’amidon dans l’effluent [...]
Les paramètres évalués sont le débit et la pression à fournir par le système hydraulique, la résistance du châssis et la puissance du moteur. Les résultats de cette évaluation montrent que le système hydraulique de la presse mise au point est efficac [...]
Agriculture has an important role in the development of the Beninese economy. Now, the sector has a major change with the agricultural motorization. In order to contribute to the sustainable management of farms, this study evaluated the effect of fo [...]
Effects of three different types of ploughing (light, middle and deep) on physical parameters of a tropical ferruginous soil of the Northern Benin, and their consequences on the growth and grain yield of two varieties of maize has been examined. The [...]
In present work, two tropical wood species were tested: ebony and mahogany. Thermal effusivity and thermal conductivity of wood species were determined in tangential direction depending on water content, usinghot strip method. Results show that therm [...]
