AbstractThe present case study evaluates the treatment efficiency (R%) of vertical flow constructed wetlands (VFCW) with different design considerations for the efficient treatment of domestic wastewater. Four modified VFCW’s were…
AbstractProject bundling is the process of awarding a single contract to several infrastructure projects to address construction, rehabilitation, replacement, or maintenance needs. This novel approach has presented several benefits to…
AbstractRecent data have shown that pedestrian fatalities have increased by 44% from 2010 to 2019. In 2019, 6,590 pedestrians died of traffic crashes, and 20% occurred at intersections, the highest…
AbstractTunnel distress occurs often. Tunnel leakage, segment dislocation, and section deformation seriously affect tunnel construction safety and normal operation. Currently, mainly the traditional monitoring technology is used in tunnel distress…
AbstractNonthermal plasma (NTP) is a promising technology for the decomposition of chlorobenzene (CB), but many conditions will affect the performance of NTP. The effects of gas temperature, relative humidity, oxygen…
AbstractRecently, due to low cost and convenience, the concept of estimating the bridge’s first natural frequency through indirect measurements of a passing vehicle has gained increasing attention—known as drive-by bridge…
AbstractWithin the scope of this study, the effect of the main chain length of polycarboxylate-based water-reducing admixture (WRA) on the fresh properties, compressive strength, and water absorption of mortar mixtures…
AbstractThe present paper aims to assess the feasibility of using two wastes, sugar cane straw ash (SCSA) and red clay brick waste (RCBW), in the production of a new sustainable…
AbstractTo obtain a bitumen emulsion paste with a good bitumen film structure and rapid drying rate, the effect of cement content, cement type, and emulsion type on the drying and…
