At more than 210 microstrain, fatigue life decreased by increasing resilient modulus, whereas below 210 microstrain the reverse was true.
Study evidence suggests that these protective processes provide "leverage points" for strengths-based interventions designed to increase resilient outcomes and prevent mental health problems.
Also, the aging process significantly increased the resilient modulus and dynamic creep modulus values.
However, 60/70 bitumen increased the resilient modulus and skid resistance of the asphalt mixes compared to 80/100 bitumen.
Besides, use of FA as an alternative filler mineral increased the resilient modulus up to 7.5% as compared to HMA and WMA containing cement powder.
Contrary to expectations, herb mass increased on both resilient and non-resilient landscapes as proportional areas occupied by vegetated patches declined.
The addition of RAP to the WMA also increases the resilient modulus at all the temperatures; however, addition of steel slag only at intermediate and high temperatures leads to improvement in the resilient modulus.
Finally, the benefits of geosynthetic reinforcement was quantified, within the context of the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design guide, in terms of increasing the resilient modulus of base course layer and/or reducing the thickness of base aggregate layer in pavement structure.
Whereas high levels of social support from relatives and friends increased all studied resilient outcomes, women were found at higher risk of suffering a worse psychological resilient outcome after a disaster.
Pastoral communities in East Africa including the Samburu, Turkana, Pokot, Maasai, Boran, Somali and Rendile, among others, have seen increased adoption of resilient livestock species such as camels and herd diversification as a strategy to cushion themselves against the effects of extreme climate events (Fratkin 2001; Jones and Thornton 2009; Kagunyu and Wanjohi 2014; Österle 2008; Sperling 1987).
