Rice husk or rice hull, which is the outer layer of the paddy grain and accounts for 20% of its weight, is the main agro-waste fibre in the rice milling process [4].
Consequently, it can reduces the quantity of water molecule clusters due to a reduction in the number of microcavities {Razera, 2004 #625}[11].

A large number of material and process variables contribute to the complex conditions of the defect’s formation [2].
A later study also indicates that pores are typically located on or close to grain boundaries [8].

A number of researchers have been investigating the performance of rubber powder and/or shredded rubber crumb with soft and weak clayey soil and the outcomes reported that an increment in unconfined compressive strength (UCS), ductility and toughness of the soil.
The low specific gravity reported in this study; indicate that, both scrap tires used in this study is a lightweight type material. 100 Percentage Finer by weight (%) 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 0.0001 0.001 0.01 0.1 1 10 Particle grain size (mm) Fig. 3 Clayey-silt collected on-site Fig. 4 Soft clay particle size distribution (a) Shredded rubber-crumb (b) Fibre-polyester Fig. 5 Processed shredded scrap tire Experimental Program and Methodology The design mix consists of peat (Pt), clayey-silt (CL-ML), cement content (CC), shredded rubber- crumb (RC) and fibre-polyester (FP).

Even though sand was found to be the dominant soil grains at each site, the percentage of gravel and fines too have its effect on the overall behaviour of soil such as the water retention capacity and porosity.
The number of trees tested should be increased and the choice of slope gradient must be varied.

Besides of grain size control, annealing and quenching strategies [8], slight deformation can reduce the pronounced yield point [9].
The simplification with 2d-shell elements and an increased number of integration points leads to the limitation of the material flow only in the loading direction.

Such as three dimension united water seepage drainage technology [9-12], new method of water seepage drainage by radiation well [13-17], the reinforcement terraced fields method in stockpiling of wet fine grained tailings [18], damming with mold bag filled with partial-fine tailings [19] etc.
In addition, an increasing number of paste stockpiling appeared in the fourth generation.

The adopted fitting equation is written as follows: ()( ) [] ηα ηα fn-exp-fnexp c a O JJ ×= (1) where, J O exchange current density, n number of electrons (in this case n=2), α transfer coefficient (in this case, αa=αc=0.5), f=F/RT, (F=96485 Cmol-1, R=8.314 JK-1mol-1, T=973 K), and η is cathodic overpotential.
The grains of La0.9Sr0.1MnO3-film are about 1000-1500 nm in width and about 500 nm in thickness.

HA particles are not bonded to the substrate and only van der waals force exists in the substrate/coating interface, hence, a high-temperature sintering process is suggested [34] to densify and increase grain growth, and help in providing mechanical strength [35].
