One of the efficient techniques to improve the behavior of the paved road under traffic loads is implementing the geosynthetic material in the sub-base or the soil under the road. In the past years, many researches have been done about this topic, but the study on the effect of soil/load conditions on the performance of the rehabilitated paved road by geogrid in order to investigate the effecti...

Adding steel braces to reinforced concrete frames is a common way for seismic rehabilitation of these structures. Due to ease of installation and the possibility of creating openings in the braced bays, this method of rehabilitation has been more preferred than using shear walls. In this paper, three experimental specimens including a reinforced concrete frame, a reinforced concrete frame with ...

Pavement maintenance and rehabilitation have been neglected in Nigeria for a very long time and has resulted to maintenance backlog. Design agencies in Nigeria still use California Bearing Ratio (CBR), even though the method is outdated. An introduction of Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCPT) was pertinent, even though the method is relatively old in some developed countries, it has not gain mu...

In 1991, Luka and ten of his comrades were captured near Knin, a Croatian town held by rebel Serbs and the Yugoslav Federal Army. Luka spent a few months in the Knin jail. The first days he was left without food or water. He kept refusing to submit himself to the guards, so they would often take him to the top floor and beat him until he would pass out. After-wards, they would drag him down, hi...

the optimum road spacing has been studied by many researches. it is an important step of forest road network planning. the goals of this study are determining the optimum road spacing in kheiroudkenar forest of nowshahr in northern iran and study of effect of kind of skidder on skidding cost and road spacing. continues time study method was used to determine the production rate of taf and timbe...

The "Landfill 3" was formed at the location of flotation tailing dump "Čukaru Peki", where earthen material, created during dam construction placed. A part deposited material and substrate this landfill has slipped that endangers local road "Kusak" stream foot. That is why landslide needs to be rehabilitated.

A hundred patients with leprosy were studied; forty six patients were rehabilitated and staying in an ashram while the remaining fifty four were not rehabilitated and staying in slum areas. A11 the patients were administered Goldberg's General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and those who scored more than 12 on the GHQ were administered Indian Psychiatric Interview Schedule (IPIS). The diagnosis of ...

road traffic accident (rta) is a global burden of disease. more than 1.25 million people per year are killed by rtas. more than half of the fatalities strike vulnerable road users (e. g. pedestrians, skaters, cyclists and other non-protected road users). the ongoing challenge is to protect vulnerable road users (vru). as a vru is neither shielded by seatbelts or crumple zones nor by airbags, th...
