Laboratory Evaluation of Select Methods of Corrosion Prevention in Reinforced Concrete Bridges
Sixteen reinforced concrete laboratory specimens were used to evaluate a number of corrosion prevention methods under an accelerated (6 months) testing program. The use of galvanic thermal sprayed zinc, galvanic embedded Continue reading
Corrosion Resistance of Weathering Steels
To reduce both the initial and the maintenance painting costs, engineers in many states have increasingly been designing bridges made of bare, exposed weathering steel. However, after many years of experience, engineers are concerned about the Continue reading
The Application of Wassara Hammer and Mudmotor Steering Drilling Methods
Hallandsås Project, carried out by Skanska-Vinci, concerns the construction of two 8.7 km long railway tunnels in Southern Sweden. These tunnels have been excavated with the use of Tunnel Borring Machine(TBM). The excavation of the Continue reading
Vertical Extensions of the Urban Swahili House: A Proposal for Standardised Two-storey Construction
A decent shelter is a basic human need. In developing countries, where the industrialisation process is accompanied by rapid urbanisation, the population solves their housing situation within limits of their own savings. Therefore the majority of people in Tanzania still live in Continue reading
Fly Ash Bricks Masonry
Fly ash is waste generated from combustion of coal in power generation plants. Due to its pozzolanic properties, utilized in Continue reading
Sea Level Rise and Its Economic Effects on Naval Installations
Global sea level is rising. Coastal lands are at risk from eventual inundation, property loss and economic devaluation. The threat is impending but not Continue reading
Stability Design of Multi-storey Timber Structures
Stability design of buildings is an extremely important discipline within the field of structural engineering.This report demonstrates, with help of Continue reading
Feasibility of Using Silica Aerogel as Insulation for Buildings
For recent years, silica aerogel has attracted great attention and been extensively used in different technical fields owning to its remarkable properties in optics, mechanics, Continue reading
High Strength Steel in the Reinforced Concrete Structures: Serviceability
The use of high-strength steel (yield stress larger than 100 ksi) in reinforced concrete structures can provide an effective alternative to using conventional steel (yield stress up to 80 ksi). The goal of this study is to investigate if slabs with Continue reading
Implementation of the ESDP: The Example of North West Europe
The impact of the European Policies on the spatial patterns in Europe has increased in the last few years – especially against the background of Continue reading
