Influence of Polypropylene Fibers on Engineering Behavior of Soil−Fly Ash Mixtures for Road Construction

Fly ash is a waste produced mostly from the burning of coal in thermal power stations, which contributes to environmental pollution. Also, a number of studies have been conducted to investigate the influence of randomly oriented fibers on the engineering behavior of coarse grained and fine grained soils. The influence of randomly oriented polypropylene fibers on the engineering behavior of soil...

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering

Reduced dimensionality representation of strong ground motion records as a superposition of a relatively small number of pulses is studied. Such representation is obtained by the expansion of velocity in orthogonal wavelet series using the Fast Wavelet Transform, and approximation by only the largest energy terms in the series. The Coiflet 5 wavelet family is used, which is orthogonal, smooth a...

The Road to Software Engineering

Software development in the industry world, with its dynamic and changing business and more complex requirements, is a challenging discipline. To survive in the software-intensive world, we must be software competent. Most industrial software nowadays is developed by teams. Thus, to be an effective engineer, we need to be able to work on a team. Teamwork, however, is more than just getting alon...
