Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuilding Cost Comparison Between Conventional and Formwork System: A Case Study of Four-storey School Buildings in MalaysiaNuzul Azam Haron, Ir. Salihuddin Hassim, Mohd. Razali Abd. Kadir, Mohd Saleh JaafarThe Malaysian construction industry is undergoing a transitional change from an industry employing conventional technology to a more systematic and mechanized system. This new system is now known as the Industrialized Building System (IBS). This new method of construction can increase productivity and quality of work through the use of better construction machinery, equipment, materials and extensive pre-project planning. This … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 9,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Polyethylene in Hot Asphalt MixturesMohammad T. Awwad, Lina ShbeebThe increase in road traffic during the last two decades in combination with an insufficient degree of maintenance due to shortage in funds has caused an accelerated and continuous deterioration of the road network in Jordan. To alleviate this process, several types of measures may be effective, e.g., securing funds for maintenance, improved roadway design, use of better quality of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 14,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Watershed Structures in Controlling Runoff - Case Study of Sardasht Basin in IRANSeyedeh Zahra Hosseini-Teshnizi, Ghodratollah Davoudi, Seyedeh Laleh Razavi, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariIn order to investigate the performance of constructed structures in Sardasht watershed, Soil and Water Assessment Tools model for simulation of runoff and sediment during the studied period of 1996-2012 was carried out for two cases of existence and absence of flood control structures. From 2007 onwards by performing watershed operations in these sub-basins, the average runoff rate decreased about … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Feb 2020 · 7,346 accessesView PDFCite
