Abstract: The bond between bitumen and aggregate is important in ensuring suitable performance of flexible pavements in different environmental conditions. The bonding properties of bitumen–aggregate samples can be affected by ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental and numerical research carried out on low-rise reinforced concrete (RC) frames that have weaker beam-column joints, which are retrofitted with steel haunches to avoid joint shear hinging, ...

Abstract: This paper aims at using a dilatant or shear thickening fluid (STF) [a non-Newtonian fluid consisting of particles of nano-silica suspended in a liquid medium, i.e., ethylene glycol (EG), which acts as a carrier fluid; ...

Abstract: The most widely used pesticides for residential areas and agriculture purposes, which belong to the organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids, were evaluated in this study for their LC0 toxicity. In an aquatic environment, ...

Abstract: Recent advances in robotics and artificial intelligence have highlighted the potential for the integration of computational intelligence in enhancing the functionality and adaptability of robotic systems, particularly in ...
