ABSTRACT
Seven empirical models for calculating hydraulic conductivities in soils based on grain-size distribution were investigated in this study. The results were compared with hydraulic...
ABSTRACT
Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based bi-input predictive models have been executed to forecast the bulk density, linear and volumetric shrinkages and desiccation cracking of HSDA-treated...
ABSTRACT
The importance of highway pavement to human progress in terms of movement and industrialization cannot be overemphasized. Moreso is the importance of the studied highway connecting the...
ABSTRACT
In this study, extreme vertex design (EVD) was adapted for the mixture experiment involving the clayey soils’ mechanical strength properties modification for civil engineering construction...
ABSTRACT
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is described as the stream of solid waste (trash or garbage) generated by households and communities, commercial establishments, industries and...
ABSTRACT
Rice husk ash and saw dust ash are good materials that can supplement cement to some extent but the percentage of saw dust ash and rice husk ash should not be more than 15% of cement. For...
ABSTRACT
This work developed a numerical model for determining the dynamic response of a concert high-rise flexible frames (tall frame) subjected to wind load in Nigeria. The model was based on the...
ABSTRACT
In structural dynamics, structures may be excited by two kinds of source, external loading acting directly on the super structure and secondly the ground motion acting on the sub...
ABSTRACT
Convectional algorithms such as least-square and gradient descent for Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) prediction of engineering process system is deficient by local optimum...
