Studies on using high strength steel as flexural and shear reinforcement in reinforced concrete members are limited in the literature. Thus, current ACI 318 provisions do not permit using reinforcement steel with a strength higher than 80 ksi as flexu . . .

The behavior of civil structures, such as buildings and bridges, subjected to earthquake shaking is highly dependent on structural components which resist the lateral forces that result from ground acceleration. Modern seismic design strategies common . . .

An analysis of green roof water quality was done to answer this question: does the use of green roofs reduce or contribute to storm water pollution? Green Roofs can increase the overall water retention of an urban area and lower the volume of expected . . .

Undrained shear strength is important in the evaluation of the stability of both natural and man-made slopes. Some researchers have proposed methods such as SHANSEP to evaluate the undrained shear strength of fine grained soils. However, the impact of . . .

In this research, a study was conducted on the feasibility of replacement of concrete pavements with precast concrete pavements which will result in faster construction, thinner slabs and more durable life of the pavement. It was observed that precast . . .

The Mw 7.8 Gorkha earthquake struck central Nepal on April 25, 2015 and brought about a huge loss of life and property. The quake was also responsible for the generation of a large number of landslides. They blocked highways, devastated villages, and . . .

Damping is defined as the behavior of the building to absorb the input energy. This damping behavior of the building can be improved by adding dampers. The primary goal of this experiment was to assess the impact of installing a liquid-filled tank . . .

The emergence of different pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the environment is a concern due to their potential adverse effect on human health and the environment. Among various sources, wastewater discharged from treatment plants . . .
