Concrete-filled fiber Tube(CFFT) is gaining prominence as a feasible alternative for a va-riety of structural applications. Even though the structural performance of CFFT beams is
undeniable and their use in industry and ...
Due to the rapid growth of the population in the world, the need for infrastructure is
also on the increase. Because of this, meeting the global demand for reinforced
concrete is now becoming more challenging ...
Sandwich panels also known as concrewalls are made up of a non-structural insulation
layer sandwiched in between two structural concrete layers connected by a shear connector.
This technology is relatively new and the ...
Fires on reinforced concrete structural members were analyzed in-depth; to address the
effects of the fire that mostly happened on the structure. Unlike rural areas, the effects of a
fire on urban areas can be worse. ...
This study focuses on the arrangement and detailing of different shear reinforcements
in reinforced concrete beams. In this study, reinforced concrete beams with vertical
stirrups, with inclined stirrups and with ...
Investigating the yield response of crops to different level of water applications in the field or
controlled experiments is laborious and expensive. Therefore, modeling can be a useful tool to
study and develop ...
potato is an important food crop in the highlands of Ethiopia. However, its productivity is
constrained by several problems. Among these inadequate uses of N fertilizer and appropriate
irrigation intervals are the most ...
Evaluation of the performance of irrigation schemes helps to know the present status of the
scheme and to apply possible measures for improvement. The performance of Zingini,Dandini,
and Tilinkua Small Scale Irrigation ...
Irrigation is critical to Ethiopia's national economy in terms of increasing income and achieving
food security. Rice production is important for global food security but given its large water
footprint, efficient ...
Water for irrigation is increasingly becoming limited owing to increased demand from other
uses such as domestic water, industries, and the environment which give higher economic
and social returns. This is the ...
Water scarcity is a challenge for current irrigated agriculture. Under these circumstances,
new on-farm irrigation management strategies should be established for sustainable
utilization of the available scarce water ...
Performance assessment of irrigation system plays a vital role for the enhancements of the future
functioning of the system. Canal sedimentation problems, improper operation and maintenance,
irrigation scheduling ...
Irrigation is one of the key drivers to growth through enhancing agricultural productivity, increasing rural
household income and hence alleviating poverty. In Ethiopia, agriculture is a mainstay of economy.
Environmental ...
Land use land cover change (LULC) is a very significant issue in terms of global dynamics and
their responses to hydrological features and soil and water management of a watershed because it
has a great effect on ...
The infrastructure is constructed in unsaturated soils. However, the principle of saturated soil
mechanics is adopted in the geotechnical design of structures. To follow a sustainable approach
and reduce costs, it is ...
Expansive soils have the inherent property of swelling when they are adsorbed water and
shrinking when they are dried. This property of expansive soil causes to damage
structures constructed on it. To minimize ...
The study of pile foundations in liquefiable soil subjected to dynamic loading is a very
complex and coupled process. A finite-difference-based computer program FLAC3D
is used to model the dynamic response single pile ...
The knowledge of temperature effect on index properties and thus the understanding of its
behavior is very essential for a complete understanding of the various cases of Geotechnical
Engineering problems and for conducting ...
The use of underground buried pipes is growing fast in transporting clean water, sewage,
telecom lines, gases and other chemicals. These buried pipe lines can affect the lives of
people directly. Therefore, studies ...
Access to safe drinking water and sanitation is a global concern. Water quality deterioration is a big
issue in many countries water supply system, which may be a result of many interconnected physical,
chemical, and ...
