Abstract: This study deals with the thermal performance of a solar-assisted heating system for the Jordan University of Science and Technology indoor Olympic swimming pool. Solar heating is accomplished by using hot water generated ...

Abstract: Measurements of the lean blowout equivalence ratio (Φoverall,b) along with the numerical simulations of flame structure and dynamics of the flow field for coaxial burner configurations are reported. ...

Abstract: In this work, a novel design of a portable leg rehabilitation system (PLRS) is presented. The main purpose of this paper is to provide a portable system, which allows patients with lower-limb disabilities to perform leg ...

Abstract: Elastic-plastic axisymmetric finite-element analyses were performed to investigate the side load-transfer mechanism of drilled shafts socketed into cohesive intermediate geomaterials (very hard clays/very soft rocks). The ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to provide highlights of the most important references related to the development of current guide specifications for the design of straight and curved box-girder bridges. Subjects discussed ...

Abstract: The curvilinear nature of box girder bridges along with their complex deformation patterns and stress fields have led designers to adopt approximate and conservative methods for their analyses and design. Recent literature ...

Abstract: Composite steel-concrete multicell box girder bridges combine excellent torsional stiffness with elegance. While the current design practices in North America recommend few analytical methods for the design of composite ...

Abstract: Delay claims are common in construction projects. Commencement delay claims are different, as the owner is responsible for the delay. This paper presents a methodology to solve the conflict of a commencement delay event ...
