Abstract: Flex-route transit service is a promising option to serve low-density urban areas. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility and benefits of replacing feeder fixed-route transit routes in a suburban area by flex-route ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine limit loads for pipe elbows subjected to in-plane bending moments that tend to close the elbow (i.e., decrease its radius of curvature), and the ...

Abstract: In this work, the indirect solar drier (IDSD) is used for drying Thymus by using four techniques. First, the whole leaves of Thymus are dried using the IDSD without using phase change material (PCM). The obtained results ...

Abstract: Much of the research on immigrants has centered on their economic assimilation or integration. Few scholarly articles have examined the impact that immigrants have on the transportation system, especially those immigrants ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of pressure on the strain and stress analysis of pipe elbows subjected to in-plane bending moments. A finite element model for the bend ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine limit loads for pipe elbows subjected to inplane bending moments that tend to open the elbow (i.e., increase its radius of curvature), and the ...

Abstract: There is strong demand for ductile cement-based materials in various rehabilitation systems of concrete infrastructure. This study investigated the flexural performance of nanomodified cementitious composites incorporating ...

Abstract: The evolution of public transit modes has been remarkable, fueled by the need for different transit modes to handle different demand levels, urban environment patterns, and natural constraints and barriers. One of these ...

Abstract: This study investigated the behavior of nanomodified cementitious composites reinforced with innovative basalt fiber pellets (BFP), with specially tailored surface texture under quasi-static (direct) tensile as well as ...
