Abstract: This research examines the reasons for water treatment plants failure based on the analysis utilizing fault tree analysis. Qualitative analysis was used to achieve 33 basic events that lead to 12 minimal sets of fault tree ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the development of structural design of concrete box culverts, which may be appropriate for the climate and soil conditions in the Sudan. The standard requirements in the

Abstract: This paper investigated the behavior of three-dimensional (3D) steel-concrete building under external explosion considering the slab and connection rigidity. Most of the work carried out so far in the progressive collapse ...

Abstract: Limited studies have investigated the progressive collapse of three-dimensional (3D) semirigid steel–concrete frames due to the complexity of modeling techniques, intensive computational time involved in the analysis, and ...

Abstract: Bridges situated in northern climate regions, which face severe environmental conditions and daily fatigue loading, are prone to accelerated deterioration and corrosion of their components. The application of carbon ...

Abstract: AbstractPreventing heat-associated morbidity and mortality is a public health priority in Maricopa County, Arizona (United States). The objective of this project was to evaluate Maricopa County cooling centers and gain ...

Abstract: The high cost of the solar tracking systems is the major obstacle facing the growth of the solar harvesting technology. Therefore, reducing the solar tracking cost is necessary for developing this important energy sector. ...
