Analysis of Headway of Heterogeneous Traffic on Indian Urban Roads
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 14 Issue: 3 Headway or inter-arrival time of vehicles is an important parameter in traffic flow, especially in urban roads, since this is one of the main parameters to determine the minimum (safe) gap between vehicles and the capacity. The studies done on headway analysis have mostly concentrated on homogeneous traffic where the flow follows lane discipline. This ideal situation does not exist on In...

Effect of Freezing and Thawing on the Strength Characteristics of Slurry Infiltrated Fibrous Ferrocement using Steel Fibers
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 14 Issue: 5 The concrete composites play an important role in the field of concrete. The addition of fibers to concrete enhances the strength properties and ductility characteristics. Ferrocement is light weight and versatile material having high cracking, ductility and fatigue resistance and is additionally impermeable to make it far superior than reinforced concrete. It is used for prefabricated r...

Evaluation of the Parameters of SOM Model for Selecting Design Section
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 14 Issue: 3 In order to support the basic information for designing the soft ground improvement, it is highly recommended to understand the spatial distribution of the geotechnical parameters in the landfill site. Therefore, in the present study, we applied Self-Organizing Map (SOM) to detect the characteristics of spatial distribution of the parameters which have been measured in Songsan Green City...

Bending Moments in Beams of Two Way Slab Systems
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 14 Issue: 2 Two way slabs are slabs in which the surface load is transferred in two directions. Two way slabs have many types: slabs supported on beams between all columns, slabs without beams and waffle slabs. Slabs with beams are commonly used for high loads and or large spans. The deflection in the slab panel depends mainly on the beams stiffness. The deflection at middle of panels decreases as t...

Relationship between Porosity, the Maximum Dry Density and the Mechanical Behavior of Stabilized Dune Sands
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 14 Issue: 2 In this paper, the stabilization of studied dune sands was made by compaction and addition of stabilization agents; cement and fillered sand. The cement percentage ranges from 2 to 10% with a step of 2%, and that of the fillered sand from 0 to 30% with a step of 10%, sixty mixtures have been prepared. For each mixture, the optimal normal Proctor, the porosity accessible to water, the com...

Rapid Estimations of Air-Sea-Land Interaction Parameters during a Tropical Cyclone
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 14 Issue: 2 Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 devastated northern Gulf of Mexico and its coastal regions with catastrophic impacts in some regions. On the basis of applied physics of air-sea-land interaction, following formulas are derived and validated using the minimum sealevel pressure (Po in mb) as the most important input. They are: (1) Maximum wind speed (in m/s)= ...

Validating Wind Profile Equations during Tropical Storm Debby in 2012
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 14 Issue: 1 Comparisons of logarithmic and power-law wind profiles are made for offshore conditions during Tropical Storm Debby in 2012 over the Gulf of Mexico. It is found that both laws are validated up to 122m and that the power law is as good as the log law statistically. For practical applications, the exponent of power law can be determined from the gust factor measurement available routinely ...
