Abstract

The present study was carried out to find out the socio-economic impacts of farm forestry on tree farmers in district Mardan. Survey was conducted in four villages and the farmers were asked directly at their farms through a well structure questionnaire. Most of the respondents were literate with large family size. Average farm size was found to be 9.43 acres. 15% of the respondents were self-cultivator while 85% were tenant. In the study area 13700 trees of different species have been planted on an average of 249 trees per farm. 66% farmers were interested to plant more trees on their farm in future, while 34% were found uninterested. It was noted that 7015 tress were sold at an average of 127 trees per farm during last five years and Rs 1903000 were earned from sale of trees. Fifty eight percent of the respondents were found agree and 23% disagree when they were asked whether they were socio-economically uplifted or not. 76% of respondents grow trees for sale and remaining 24% grow trees for domestic purpose. 11% of respondents purchased fuel wood during the last 10 years and the remaining 89% did not.  14% of the respondents purchased timber during last ten years while 86% did not. Those respondents who were found agree earned two types more income.

Abstract

The Yakhtangay (Cold Valley) in District Shangla is encountering severe freeze-thaw cycles due to its elevated location and cold weather conditions. Repeated cycles of freeze-thaw action on soil cause it to lose strength, leading to settlement and a decrease in compressive strength. The objective of the study is to investigate the potential of terrazyme in enhancing the compressive strength of soil subjected to freeze and thawing cycles. Terrazyme, a bio enzyme obtained from plants and soluble in water, can reduce the water content from the soil while increasing inter-particle cohesion, leading to improved soil strength. The laboratory tests were conducted on both treated and untreated soil samples, and their properties were compared. The experimental study also included performing tests such as grain size distribution, Atterberg's limits, compaction, and compressive strength on the soil samples. Unconfined Compression Samples (UCS) were prepared and tested for freeze and thaw cycles in treated and untreated forms. The research utilized the optimal amount of Terrazyme, reducing water moisture content from 13% to 11%. Furthermore, using Terrazyme significantly increased soil compressive strength, with an improvement of 40%. Based on the study's results, terrazyme is proposed as a highly effective soil admixture that can significantly enhance soil properties—particularly its resistance against the negative impact of freeze-thaw cycles. This study can be implicated practically to avoid freeze-thaw problems in the soil of cold regions and can be proved fruitful for the researchers to study on the particular and related topics.

Abstract

The application of polystyrene beads as a sustainable substitute in the production of soil-based bricks is investigated in this study. The objective of the research is to evaluate the mechanical and thermal characteristics of soil-brick composites at ratios of 4%, 8%, and 12% that contain different amounts of polystyrene beads. The purpose of the study is to determine how the inclusion of polystyrene beads affects the final composite bricks' insulating properties and structural integrity. Initial results indicate that the addition of polystyrene beads noticeably affects the mechanical and thermal properties of the composite bricks. According to preliminary findings, insulating qualities may get better as polystyrene ratios rise, but maintaining structural integrity requires striking a compromise. The results of this study provide important new information on the feasibility of using earth bricks augmented with polystyrene as an energy- and environmentally-friendly building material. More research and optimization efforts are advised to improve the composition and overall performance of these composite bricks for use in sustainable buildings.
