Experimental Study of the Evolution of Temperatures in Pavement Structures and Influence of Traffic on the RN1 in Burkina Faso in a Hot and Dry Climate
Paul Ilboudo, Boubacar Soro, Dieudonné Dabilgou, Boureima Kaboré, Jean Marie Compaoré, Sié Kam, Dieudonné Joseph Bathiebo
Asphalt concrete pavements in hot and dry climates deteriorate prematurely some time after their construction. This degradation is accelerated under the effect of heavy vehicle traffic pressure and high temperatures after the bitumen has softened. A study was conducted on the RN1 in Burkina Faso in order to analyze the evolution of temperatu(...)

Thermomechanical and Hydrous Effect of Heavy Fuel Oil in a Building Material Based on Silty Clayey Soil
Ohindemi G. Yameogo, Donzala D. Some, Sié Kam, Adamah Messan, Takenori Hino, Dieudonné J. Bathiebo
This study focuses on the use of heavy fuel oil in construction in Burkina Faso. Mixed with silty and/or clay soil, it is used as a coating to reinforce the walls of raw soil constructions which are very sensitive to water. The interest of this paper is to shed light on the thermomechanical and above all water effects of heavy fuel oil on a sa(...)

Passive Remote Sensing Studies of a Phantom Insect
Moussa Sougoti; Sié Zacharie Kam; Sidiki Zongo; Antoine Bere
Using Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) methods, in passive or in active remote sensing, can do detection and identification of small targets; in entomology, these methods allow the characterization and the classification of insects. However, it is a challenge to study the physical phenomena, which determine the shape and properties of insec(...)

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF A LOCAL FURNACE FOR MELTING ALUMINUM FROM USED SOLAR MODULES IN BURKINA FASO
Abdoul Aziz Ouiminga, Boureima Kaboré, Germain Wende Pouiré Ouedraogo, Sié Kam
The manufacture of photovoltaic (PV) panels is evolving increasingly around the world. Used panels are a source
of environmental pollution because recycling them is difficult. In this experimental study, we propose a solution
for recycling aluminum from PV solar modules using a local furnace for melting. First, the frame is separated
fro(...)
