Recently, geotechnical engineers have started to design the piled foundations more optimized by allowing a part of the pressure to be transferred directly from the raft to the ground. Such a foundation, where the raft and ...
Many structural elements found in the structural system subjected to significant torsional moments that will alter the design values in reinforced concrete members. Torsional failure of structures is sudden and it needs ...
The concern of unsustainable groundwater consumption is becoming increasingly
an evident problem and the key concern for many developing countries. The main
problem is the absence of updated spatial information on the ...

The construction industry plays a major role in the social, political and economic development of a nation. In spite of its contribution towards achieving social and economic development, the construction industry is plagued ...
Due to the complex nature of the piled raft foundation, its realistic design relies on the
more rigorous computer based methods using either finite element or finite difference
based soft wares. This study develops a ...
Construction error accounts for billions annual budget loss in world’s construction industry and it is common for inspectors to find missing structural member during construction auditing. This scenario alters intended ...
Steel slag is an industrial waste product from steel manufacturing industries. It has potential
to use in construction industry as a replacement material for crushed coarse aggregate. In
this research it has been found ...
Steel fiber for application in concrete structural and nonstructural members
studied more than 50 years. Despite its renowned improving effect in controlling
microcracks and ductility that is at large dependent on its ...
Soil erosion is a serious threat in the Leza watershed. Deforestation, overgrazing, and poor land management accelerated the rate of erosion. To develop effective erosion control plans and to achieve reductions in ...
Solid waste is daily outcome of human activities, which can never stop and collection of Municipal Solid Waste is important in every waste management program. The common problems relating to improper management of waste ...
Chat (Catha Edulis) is the current highly expanded and a commercially available crop in eastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It becomes one of Ethiopia's largest crops by cultivated area, the country's second-largest ...
In recent years reinforced soil retaining structures are both technically and economically various advantages over other retaining structures; especially when their will be property limitation and under poor soil conditions. ...
Problems in providing satisfactory water supply to the rapidly growing population especially that of the developing countries is increasing from time to time. The adequate and reliable water supply in Ethiopian towns is ...
Application of hydrology to agriculture is found in irrigation, drainage and soil
conservation. The development of irrigation and agricultural water management
technology holds significant potential to improve water ...
Just-In-Time(JIT) is a practiced philosophy in the construction industry of different countries worldwide. It concerns on delivery of right and the exact amount of materials directly to the construction sites at the time ...
Land use land cover change (LULC) is very significant issues in terms of global dynamics and their responses to hydrologic features and soil & water management of a watershed, because it has a great effect on stream flow. ...
In this study, analysis of retaining wall and backfill soil effect using a finite element based software; PLAXIS 2D version 8.5 for the inclined cohesion less backfill effect was conducted. The soil sample taken from site ...
Hydraulic structures such as dams have inevitable effects on their downstream that
