Travel time reliability (TTR) is known as the temporal variability of travel time and influences many aspects of the traveler's decisions, especially in roadway transport. Investigating literature review shows seven factors can cause congestion and affect travel time reliability. Three of the most common factors investigated in numerous studies inc...

Finding sustainable alternatives to the exhausting sources and the increasing urbanization are the thrust areas of today's research. Even though the use of artificial (manufactured/crushed) sand is approved in ranges through the codal provision, variation in the workability and strength properties of concrete made up with manufactured sand is obser...

Post-earthquake utilities of liquid storage tanks do not need any over emphasis. Liquid storage tanks used in public water distribution system provide water for firefighting and also for drinking and household purposes. Tanks used in industry are equally critical as they contain hazardous liquids and their leakage may lead to catastrophic situation...

Stepped spillways can be defined as human-made hydraulic structures constructed to monitor and control flow release and attain high energy dissipation. Such spillways are commonly used in embankment dams; however, it is important that a sufficient chute length is provided to develop the required aerated flow; the point at which this occurs is known...

In practice, it is very common to estimate the strength of concrete by destructive or by partial non-destructive testing on concrete. However, it is a very challenging task to estimate the correct value of the strength of concrete or cement as it is depending on various factors. The present research work is focussed on the impact of zinc oxide (ZnO...

Blast loads create massive damage and reduce the structure's strength and stability, leading to internal and external damage. Due to this damage under extreme loads, efforts have been made to improve methods of structural analysis and design to resist blast loads. The research mainly focuses on the effect of surface blast on low-rise and high-rise ...
