Abstract: This article will explore the adequacy of the Jordanian legal system in providing sufficient protection for engineers. The author argues that there are serious obstacles in terms of legal liability of engineers in construction ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the sensitivity of the peak hour plaza delay to market penetration of the electronic toll collection (ETC) system using the toll plaza simulation model developed by the Transportation Systems Institute ...

Abstract: Seaports host international cargo operations and are primary generators of freight traffic in the United States. Truck/rail trip generation and modal split models provide public agencies with valuable information necessary ...

Abstract: Bypass wastewaters in excess of plant capacity require in-plant wastewater treatment strategies capable of lessening the contamination magnitude prior to their discharge into water bodies. This study introduces a novel ...

Abstract: The stochastic modeling of construction loads on newly poured slabs during construction of multistory concrete buildings is presented in this paper. The purpose of the study is to calculate the equivalent uniformly distributed ...

Abstract: Live loads on newly poured slabs during construction of multistory concrete buildings are investigated. These loads include the weight of workers, equipment, and materials stored on slabs varying in age from less than one ...

Abstract: This article will examine the suitability of the Jordanian legal system in providing sufficient protection in the field of subcontracting in construction contracts. The author argues that there are serious obstacles in ...

Abstract: Most of the activities and land use in a city represent a part of the human spatial experience. Over time, this connection between people and land use turns into a sentimental phenomenon called “longing for place,” or ...

Abstract: Automatic incident detection on freeways is an essential ingredient for the successful deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems. Several incident detection algorithms have been developed in the past three decades; ...

Abstract: One of the key functions of an effective Advanced Traveler and Management Information System is the ability to model short-term predictions of traffic conditions on major freeways and arterials with reasonable accuracy. ...
