Concrete Recycling

In modern society, the development of urbanization process makes the increasing waste concrete and natural aggregate resource increasingly drying up. Recycled concrete research has become the inevitable development of society. This paper briefly introduces the research status of waste concrete recycling, and points out the current waste engineering application research status and existing problems of the concrete utilization. The industrialization of recycled concrete is in accordance with the needs of environmental protection and sustainable development strategy.

Drying Up

Some parts of the rural areas of South Africa are receiving water services below the legislative standards stipulated in the Water Services Act (1997) of South Africa. This is because small-scale water infrastructures (SWI), including standpipes, handpumps and windmills, are failing to supply adequate water in rural communities for various activities that enhance their livelihoods. This is due to technical, community, institutional, and environmental factors. Literature indicates that these factors are complex in nature. However, research on their complex interactions has been limited. Therefore, the complex interactions of the factors causing SWI failure were investigated and analysed in this study. A qualitative research approach was employed to investigate the factors that cause failure of SWI. The network approach combined with graph theory and the community structure method were used to generate a theme and domain network that allowed for a systematic analysis and interpretation of the causes of SWI failure in the study area. The major causes of failure identified include: (i) the use of a top-down approach to implement water projects in rural communities without consultation, (ii) sharing of SWI in high numbers due to the limited number of SWI available/functional, resulting in overloading and increased breakdowns, and (iii) drying up of water sources due to poor siting leading to vandalism of SWI. Overall, the causes of SWI failure are as a result of the complex interactions of different categories of factors. The theme and domain network is a powerful tool that can be used represent and analyse the complex interactions. It is therefore imperative for interventions aiming to improve rural water supply to analyse the complex interactions of the causes of SWI failure to understand the underlying problems at a level of a system, in order to propose suitable solutions.

The Teviot, Clyde, and Nith, are well known to be among the largest rivers in the south of Scotland. In the lower parts of their course they are navigable; and all along their banks, nearly up to their sources, there are innumerable mills and manufactories, dependent on the continuous flow of their waters.On the morning of the 27th November 1838, the channels of these rivers were, in the upper and middle parts of their course, found almost entirely empty. The thousands of water wheels, many of which had for years, without interruption, been turned by their currents, suddenly stopped. Immense quantities of fish, inhabitants of their deep and rapid streams, were destroyed by being left dry, or being caught with the hand in deserted pools; and in places where it was usually difficult for even horses to ford, it was easy for children to walk across without wetting their feet.

Massive outbreak of Xylosandrus crassiusculus and Diuncus corpulentus (Coleopera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae: Xyleborini) on clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) is reported from Kerala, India. Infestation results in drying up of branches and death of trees. This is the first report of the ambrosia beetle genera Xylosandrus and Diuncus on clove and nutmeg.

Changes in land use not only affect the hydrological component, but also have an impact on the environmental sector, which include increasing the frequency of flooding and inundation, decreasing the availability of subsurface water, and drying up community wells. Various attempts have been made in efforts to reduce flooding and maintain sources of subsurface water, for example by applying infiltration well technology in each settlement. Infiltration wells will be able to function to re-enter rainwater falling on the pavement and can reduce flooding and inundation. This research is conducted with an empirical model that is connecting the amount of runoff that occurs after the availability of recharge wells. The purpose of this research is to get the ability of infiltration wells to reduce the occurrence of flooding in an area. The data used in the analysis are rain data and soil texture data. Based on the analysis results obtained dimensions of 0.8 m, 1 m and 1.2 m infiltration wells with a depth of 2 m. The depth of ground water level is 1.94 m, the permeability value (k) of land is 0.24 x 10ˉ⁴ m / sec. From each of the infiltration well diameters, it can reduce the successive runoff namely; infiltration wells are 0.8 m in diameter from runoff of 0.479 m³ / sec and after an infiltration well is reduced to 0.057m³ / sec, infiltration wells diameter 1.2 from runoff is 0.401 m³ / sec and after an infiltration well is reduced to 0.0475 m / second, and in the diater infiltration well 2 m from runoff of 0.377 m³ / sec and after the infiltration well is reduced to 0.0571 m / sec.
