Recent seismic incidents in Turkey have raised concerns among engineers about the potential performance of existing buildings in earthquakes. Due to its location in a somewhat active seismic region, Bangladesh is susceptible ...

Nowadays, concrete is one of the most commonly used building and pavement materials. The type of concrete that has been used more than the other types is the concrete reinforced with steel. Due to the disadvantages of ...

The published researches on the mechanical behaviour of granular soils reinforced with crushed glass particles from recycled glass waste is notably limited compared to studies involving glass powder. The disposal of waste ...

This study evaluates the intake tower's effect on the buttress dam responses, considering the access bridge and reservoir under seismic loading in ANSYS using the finite element model. Wimbleball dam in England is assigned ...

Concentric bracing systems are a popular solution for strengthening moment frames due to their high lateral stiffness, ease of installation, and low cost. However, buckling in compression members can result in sudden loss ...

The safety evaluation of retaining structures, especially in cases of potential instability or disaster, frequently depends on empirical methods that apply overall safety factors. In this article, an innovative approach ...

Incineration is the most commonly employed alternate disposal strategy of biomedical waste across the globe, which produces Biomedical Waste Incinerated Fly Ash (BMWIFA). BMWIFA is often disposed of in landfills to prevent ...

Low-temperature cracking (LTC) is a critical form of pavement distress in cold regions. The fracture toughness in the semicircular bending (SCB) test serves as an indicator of LTC growth. Firstly, this study evaluated the ...

\Masonry buildings remain popular worldwide due to their readily available materials, high compressive strength, ease of construction, and affordability. Therefore, understanding the impact of mortar on the compressive ...

The accurate approximation is a benefit of the modern machine learning technique, which also disappeared the problems of traditional empirical methods, such as human and technical errors plus environmental pollution. ...

Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) provide enhanced ductile behavior thanks to multiple-cracking arising from the synergistic optimization of fiber-matrix interface adhesion behavior. According to the micromechanics ...

Utilization of landfills for possible construction projects requires investigation and improvement of geomaterials in these areas. In this research, the effects of lime on improving the behavior of soil materials in Isfahan ...
