Rubberized concrete is widely used in construction by utilizing the advantages of partially replacing fine or coarse aggregate with rubber to enhance several properties and provide an environmentally friendly solution. This paper experimentally explores influence crumb (CR) as alternate concrete. Concrete specimens were prepared different percentages (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%). Additionally, other...

vertebrobasilar insufficiency is the cause of cerebrovascular accidents in 20% of cases. there are few reports regarding spectral doppler indices (sdis) of vertebral arteries (vas) normal blood flow. the objective of this study was to provide basic reference data about sdis of vas normal blood flow separately and in comparison with internal carotid arteries (icas) and common carotid arteries (c...

to properly plan for construction, repair, maintenance, and reconstruction of highways the minimum acceptable roadway condition is needed information. this, along with other pavement management tools, will help select the most desirable roadway alternatives. in this research the minimum acceptable conditions are developed based on an opinion survey of non-technical but high-level decision maker...

Recently, the repair and maintenance of structures has been necessary to prevent these structures’ sudden collapse human financial damage. A natural factor in marine environments that destroys reduces their life is presence chloride ions. So regular health monitoring concrete coastal buildings for on-time essential. This study investigates performance power spectral density (PSD) method as a no...

Growing demand for road infrastructures and accompanying environmental footprint calls the replacement of pavement materials with recycled options. The complexities in real-world usability are dependent upon project-specific characteristics affected by budgetary constraints local governmental agencies, material applicability, climatical conditions. This study conducts a comprehensive lifecycle ...

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is recognized as one of the most comprehensive ways to evaluate the environmental impacts of different strategies associated with a physical feature such as highway pavement structures, bridges and vertical structures. Alternatively, life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is performed by different agencies including Manitoba Infrastructure (MI) to select the most cost-effec...

Increased demand for fish products has resulted in greater investment and modernization of the aquaculture sector. These processes have led to higher energy needs farms globally, resulting their environmental impact. Fossil fuel is main power source aquaculture, its combustion generates a large amount Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) other emissions. This paper considers use renewable sources (RESs) mar...

Renovation of the building stock in Europe is urgent to decrease environmental impact from sector and meet United Nations climate action goals. However, it often hard define a robust scenario for renovation due numerous uncertainties, which occur during production, operation end-of-life stage. One can cite loss performance insulation heating systems, replacement time installation or future ener...

Educational building stock in Cyprus are a significant part of the public stock, with these buildings leaning towards being less energy-efficient, especially comparison to other buildings. The energy and climate directives set by European Union for 2050 call changes sector, particularly existing stock. This study suggests design approach assessment retrofitting scenarios, which meet demands edu...

The left common coronary arterial trees of eight pig hearts were dissected. The zero-stress state (the state of the organ when the external loads are removed) of the coronary arteries was determined by first cutting the arteries into short, ring-shaped segments perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the blood vessel and then making a radial cut. This procedure caused the ring to open into a ...
