Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Common Maintenance Methods for Flexible PavementsAsma T. Ibraheem, Suda M. GaniProblem statement: With the increasing use and awareness of pavement management systems and the growing emphasis on asset management of pavement infrastructure, it is important to strengthen the maintenance components of these systems and particularly the preventive maintenance component. Iraqi Roads don’t receive an effective and proper maintenance during their service life until they reach the state of major failure … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2011 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation and Methods of Project Learning in Quantity Surveying Firms: Barriers, Enablers and Success FactorsHamzah Abdul-Rahman, Ali Mohammed Alashwal, Zatil Hidayah JamaludinProblem statement: Learning from project is vital for organizations to achieve competition and to survive in a dynamic environment. However, learning is not an easy task because there is no specific way for learning from projects. Besides, the practice of project learning and transfer knowledge to the firm’s level is still vague, specifically in the construction milieu. Approach: A questionnaire … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2011 · 7,573 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMost Used Rock Mass Classifications for Underground OpeningAl-Jbori A’ssim, Zhang Y. XingProblem statement: Rock mass characterization is an integral part of rock engineering practice. The empirical design methods based on rock mass classifications systems provide quick assessments of the support requirements for underground excavations at any stage of a project, even if the available geotechnical data are limited. The underground excavation industry tends to lean on empirical approaches such as rock … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing Feature Construction Process for Dynamic Aggregation of Relational AttributesRayner AlfredProblem statement: The importance of input representation has been recognized already in machine learning. Feature construction is one of the methods used to generate relevant features for learning data. This study addressed the question whether or not the descriptive accuracy of the DARA algorithm benefits from the feature construction process. In other words, this paper discusses the application of genetic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,929 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Constitutive Model for Multi-Line Simulation of Granular Material Behavior Using Multi-Plane PatternS. A. Sadrnejad, A. Saedi Daryan, M. ZiaeiProblem statement: Improper understanding of material behavior prevents the efficient and correct usage of available materials and consequently, increases the construction and maintenance costs and even unsuitable construction. Considering the necessity of exact investigation about material behavior, several researches have been carried out in this field but the majority of these researches did not propose a general method for prediction … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEngineering of Ground for Liquefaction Mitigation Using Granular Columnar Inclusions: Recent DevelopmentsA. Murali Krishna, M.R. MadhavProblem statement: Liquefaction was the most hazardous damage during an earthquake. Ground improvement techniques were employed to mitigate liquefaction hazards. Most common methods to improve engineering properties of soils are densification, reinforcement, grouting/mixing and drainage. Among various remedial measures available, installation of columnar granular inclusions is the most widely adopted method for liquefaction mitigation. Approach: Columnar granular inclusions function as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Sustainable Relief Housing in Ethiopia: An Implementation of Cradle to Cradle Design in Earthbag ConstructionBrooke Barnes, Huantian Cao, Theodore Drab, Jason PearsonProblem statement: Urbanization in Ethiopia resulted in urban poverty and homelessness. In this study, a sustainable relief housing prototype that aided in sheltering homeless citizens was designed. To avoid repeating errors in urban development such as unsustainable resource consumption, it was necessary to look beyond traditional construction materials and methods. Approach: This design applied cradle to cradle design model to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,288 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethods of Utilizing Tropical Peat Land for Housing SchemeYouventharan Duraisamy, Bujang B.K. Huat, Azlan A. AzizThis paper discusses some of the methods and recent technologies in utilizing cheap marginal land such as tropical peat for housing scheme. Buildings on peat are usually suspended on piles, but ground around it may still settle. Therefore a suitable method of construction should be tackle to overcome serious problem such as localized sinking and slip failure, massive primary and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment and Spread of Diseases in Spring Camelina (Camelina sativa (L.) Grantz) when using Various TreatmentsYerlan Amanzholovich Utelbayev, Gaukartas Tanibergenovna Abysheva, Berik Bekturevich Bazarbayev et al.Spring camelina is a promising oilseed crop for the dry steppe zone of Northern Kazakhstan. However, the expansion of its sowing areas is constrained by the lack of scientific research, especially on the phytosanitary state. The article presents the results of the study of fungi of the Alternaria and Fusarium genus isolated from the affected organs of spring camelina plants … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2021 · 6,178 accessesView PDFCite
