Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHydraulic Flow through Engineering Bentonite-Based Containment BarriersEric Wooi Kee Loh, Devapriya Chitral WijeyesekeraThis paper presents the use of software modelling as a tool to study the impact of hydraulic "resistivity" on the contaminant transport through bentonite-based containment barriers. A sensitivity analysis on the predicted data was carried out by varying the boundary conditions as well as the hydraulic resistance to flow through varying contaminant transport parameters. Accordingly, both advective and diffusive flow … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 11 · 4 Nov 2015 · 6,703 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTHE USE OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF MULTI-ROOM MODELING APPROACH-APPLICATION TO BUILDING POLLUTION TRANSPORT AND EFFICIENCY OF OFF-HOUR VENTILATIONAhmed Cherif MegriSeveral building simulation programs have been developed for design, analysis and prediction of the distribution of temperature, airflow and heat transfer between inside and outside of a building and/or between different zones of the same building. These programs are categorized as mono-zone models, multi-room models, zonal models, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models and multi-zone models. The number of computer programs … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,768 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMethodology to Analyze the Stability of Bench Marks Applied for Settling Measurements of Buildings FoundationAndréa de Seixas, José Roberto de SeixasIn this work, one type of vertical bench mark is presented for the realization of the Vertical Local Geodetic Network for the control and analysis of settling foundation elements. The revision of the previous norm NBR 6122/96 to the current norm NBR 6122/2010, contributed in Brazil to the obligation of the services of measurement of settlings in buildings with more … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2020 · 7,144 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Quality of Transport and Environmental Protection, Part IRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Aversa Raffaella, Samuel Kozaitis et al.The today main challenge to protect the environment through the development of new and more efficient transportation systems is presented. The absolutely necessary goods distribution and human transfers are polluting and damaging the environment and new solution should be envisaged; the conflicting strategies to adopt new types of environment friendly transportation while maintaining operative the more economically convenient, but largely … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 8 Sep 2017 · 7,812 accessesView PDF Cite
