Structures are often exposed to dynamic loading in the case of accidental impacts. Such scenarios require special precautionary measures to counteract forces induced by these impacts. The goal of this research is to investigate the effect of the addi...

Water quality is one of the most concerning issues in megacities. Karachi is the world’s third most populated city, with poor water supply and management. The city obtains more than 80 percent of its water from Keenjhar Lake, the second-largest...

The construction of building projects consists of interlinking and diverse activities which have to be completed within a yardstick cost and specific deadline. For this, a project manager needs to optimally render the planning and to schedule tasks s...

The underground distribution network is an essential part of our domestic and commercial area buildings. PVC cables are mostly used for household wiring, including underground cables installation in LV distribution networks. Small cracks in cable ins...

Through the bokashi process, fermented leaves were incorporated as a partial alternative to sand in concrete to produce a concrete type that could be a prospective artificial reef material. The specimens were checked in small pools where algae—...

With rapid developments in the construction industry, it has become vital to develop structures and materials that are both cost-effective and environmentally sustainable in order to reduce carbon footprints. This research work aimed to inspect mecha...

The world’s population is increasing rapidly, which has increased the demand for the construction of new structures. The need for increased construction is not only creating a shortage of natural resources but is also depleting the environment....

The properties of self-compacting concrete mainly depend upon the properties of the cement paste phase. Some published literature exists on the use of acacia gums in self-compacting cementitious systems, but no previous work has reported the utilizat...
