Abstract: Transport mode choice in Alexandria has radically changed during the last decades, since many trips were shifted from public transport to private transport and informal public transport. This research aims at analyzing the sensitivity of transport mode choice in Alexandria under different transp...     Read More

Abstract: A new solar-absorbing Façade Panel has been developed in this government-funded project to cope with the urgent needs on building sustainability research, in particular the renewable energy applications. In this paper, two related inventions, namely the water-filled glazing with submerged heat exch...     Read More

Abstract: Rice straw is attractive as a fuel for heat and power generation. High amount of straw is generated annually from rice cultivation in Valencia. This amount could be converted to a valuable energy product such as gas through direct combustion, biogas from anaerobic digestion, syngas through gasificat...     Read More

Abstract: Compression ignition engines are an essential part of automotive transportation and even marginal improvements can bring significant benefits in terms of costs and environmental impact. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is used on an extensive scale for these power units, and monitoring their performa...     Read More

The weight of t...     Read More

Abstract: The use of unconventional water sources, e.g., reusing treated wastewater and drainage water, could be an important water source for agriculture irrigation in order to overcome the water scarcity in Egypt. In this study, the effect of using submerged biofilters on water quality in the Bilbeas drain ...     Read More

Abstract: This work is a continuation of the one published at 8th International Conference on Advances in Civil, Structural and Mechanical Engineering ACSM 2018 Paris, and the International Journal of Civil and Structural Engineering IJCSE. The origin of water leaks, construction defects and deteriorati...     Read More

Abstract: Due to the rapid expansion of wind energy and the growing numbers of wind turbines constructed in earthquake areas. It is required to perform more research works for a better understanding of this issue. Accordingly, this humble study is needed. This study considered the onshore Vestas (V47/660) win...     Read More

Abstract: Bathymetries are a fundamental element in civil engineering when the work to be made must be based on the study of submerged terrain. In this sense, they are necessary in many situations: marine constructions such as dikes, docks, etc; dredging volume control, river flood study, etc. Traditionally ...     Read More

Abstract: The design of complicated structures for high level performance under accidental actions has been a scientific challenge in the field of civil engineering, with social and economic implications. The method of hybrid simulation lends itself as an efficient tool in unveiling the nonlinear response of ...     Read More
