Unlike most of civil engineering structures whose static and dynamic responses are estimated accurately through several codes and guidance, stadiums reserve a distinctive place especially when it comes to their dynamic ...

Forward Osmosis has been intensively investigated for seawater desalination in the past decade. However, the application of technology is still limited apart from a number of pilot and small commercial plants. Initially, ...

Traffic noise is an irritating problem especially for residents near major transportation corridors. It’s in the interest of transportation agencies to check the noise level to develop measures to reduce noise if it exceeds ...

Even though shaft excavation is a key part of tunnelling projects in large cities, many uncertainties about their actual performance still exist in practice and only very few case studies have been reported in the literature. ...

Given the inherent nature of how deep cast-in-situ concrete foundations (piles and diaphragm walls) are constructed, evaluating their integrity is difficult. Several well-established methods for testing integrity have been ...

The study utilizes an artificial neural network model for determining the fundamental period of Light-Frame Wooden Buildings, employing the Bat algorithm on a data set of 71 measured periods of wooden buildings. The number ...

Technology development has recently focused on significant improvements in the way we achieve and process information from objects and systems to make decision. The communication among these objectives and different kinds ...

The popularity of log houses has been on the rise in numerous regions worldwide. In the context of log construction, the stability of log walls is notably influenced by the friction existing between the layers of logs and ...
