Abstract: Environmental risk management strategy often encounters conflicting criteria of a subjective and objective nature that are associated with a particular management system concerning multicriteria decision making. In this ...

Abstract: Within the scope of this study, a quantitative investigation was carried out employing the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique to determine vortical flow characteristics of 70°/40°, 70°/50°, and 70°/55° double delta ...

Abstract: Torsional resonant column tests are conducted to study the effect of artificial cementation on low strain dynamic properties of Monterey No. 0 sand. Artificially cemented specimens are prepared using 1, 2, and 4% Portland ...

Abstract: A simple method for the estimation of in situ lateral stress in soils using the results of a cone‐penetration test (CPT) is described and illustrated. The method is based on the dependence of cone‐penetration‐test sleeve ...

Abstract: Three case studies of bridge‐pier‐related problems are presented. The first two concern problems during the construction of new bridge piers, while the third examines the reconstruction of an existing bridge. The first ...

Abstract: High-strength concretes (HSC) were prepared with five different binder contents, each of which had several silica fume (SF) ratios (0–15%). The compressive strength was determined at 3, 7, and 28 days, resulting in a total ...

Abstract: The present study investigates the use of heavy oil fly ash (HOFA) generated in the power plants as a stabilizer or fill material for various construction activities. To recycle the HOFA as fill material, it was mixed with ...

Abstract: This paper presents a case study of repair and strengthening work carried out on a defective reinforced concrete pier. The pier manifested severe cracking and spalling at the joint between its walls and platform. The ...

Abstract: While suffering from looming power crisis, high level of annual average solar irradiance makes the Pakistan ideally suitable for photovoltaic technologies. Deciding for a photovoltaic (PV) technology definitely requires a ...

Abstract: Watersheds are featured by a variety of hydrological, meteorological, and ecological characteristics. Complexity and uncertainty are usually two major challenges during watershed classification which is one of the key ...
