Abstract: Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is one of the alternatives to virgin material that has engendered interest in recent years, especially as an alternative aggregate. There are limited available studies assessing the ...

Abstract: The low-cycle fatigue behavior of ASTM A706 and A615 Grade 60 (420 MPa) deformed reinforcing steel bars were evaluated experimentally. Although this study was initiated to evaluate the low-cycle fatigue of reinforcing bars ...

Abstract: The interventions of decision support tools and techniques are necessary for making decisions on complex issues that involve numerous parameters. In the construction industry, the identified barriers that affect the ...

Abstract: Combined usage of computer-aided design (CAD) and building information modeling (BIM) in the same construction project can result in unwarranted issues. Stakeholders might combine CAD and BIM due to a lack of awareness of ...

Abstract: This study aims to develop a multivariate model that examines the interrelationships among design criteria and concepts impacting health, well-being, and productivity (collectively referred to as WELL goals) in residential ...

Abstract: Analysis of an evacuated tubular solar collector is presented by developing a two-dimensional performance model. The collector uses a thin flat plate spanning its diameter as its absorbing ...

Abstract: Liquid crystals are used in this experimental investigation to measure the heat transfer coefficient in a spanwise rotating channel with two opposite rib-roughened walls. The ribs (also called ...

Abstract: Quantification of knee motion under dynamic, in vivo loaded conditions is necessary to understand how knee kinematics influence joint injury, disease, and rehabilitation. Though recent studies ...

Abstract: Rainwater tanks are a fundamental component of integrated water cycle management, but the quality of harvested water is little understood and is potentially affected by many factors such as roofing material, site temperature, ...
