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

Abstract: We studied the effects of using industrial steel solid wastes resulted from lathes to enhance the compressive strength of concrete. In average, 3-4 Kg/lathe of steel waste fibers are produced on daily basis. Such steel waste can be recycled in order to mitigate its environmental hazards. Moreover, ...     Read More

Abstract: Soil improvement techniques have been widely used to enhance the engineering properties of weak soils that do not satisfy construction conditions, mainly in terms of bearing capacity. In our case, a weak soil classified as Lean Clay with Sand (AASHTO classification system) was improved adding Lime w...     Read More

Abstract: The formidable challenge confronted by engineers of this century is designing and construction of sustainable infrastructures that support civilization. Such modern structures in urban dwellings inevitably induces new deep excavations to be built close to existing piled foundations. In order to asse...     Read More

Abstract: This research aims to establish the differences that are produced when calculating the volume of the excavation of a tunnel by means of equidistant cross sections obtained from a 3D model, and the 3D model itself, which was obtained from laser scanner data. The purpose of this research intends to co...     Read More

Abstract: In this study, the effect of anionic functional group change of polycarboxylate-ether based water reducing admixture on some fresh state properties and compressive strength of the cement paste and mortar mixtures was investigated. For this purpose, in addition to the control admixture having 100% of...     Read More
