Mosque is an important place for all Muslims around the world as it a to perform religious activities. However, design layout of some mosques nowadays not suitable user mostly in rural area where most older. This due lack any standards and guidelines, are being designed built per personal wisdom architects, financiers individuals or groups responsible its execution. Hence, this paper has identi...

The analysis of mechanically stabilised earthworks using geosynthetic reinforcements is typically addressed by means a limit equilibrium or finite-element analysis. However, the design reinforcement layout and strength generally specified based on guidance experience. Limit analysis, in particular discontinuity optimisation (DLO) presents an alternative for both reinforced slopes. current study...

As technology continues to leap forward and innovations advance, the systems of civil aircraft are becoming increasingly sophisticated complex. Accordingly, there is a rising amount information be processed by pilots in cockpit, increasing their cognitive burden, which significantly threatens safety flight. Thus, designers have formulated cockpit layout principles relating importance, frequency...

Metal price is one of the most important parameters in the calculation of cut- off grade. The cut- off grade has the main role in determination of mine layout. Mine layout actuates mineable reserve, mine life and economic profitability. Not considering the uncertainty in metal prices can lead to a non-optimal layout. In this paper optimum underground mine layout is determined by expected utilit...

In this paper, a quaternion firefly algorithm is utilized to solve a multi-row facility layout design problem with the objective of minimizing the total cost of transportation. A quaternion firefly algorithm takes the motion of the firefly as a quaternion one. Consequently, the solution space is explored more accurately and the answers are of higher quality. That is, the answers are considerabl...
