Information technology (IT) plays an important role for improving business processes and has significant effects on project time, cost and quality in the construction industry. Effective use of IT may increase construction ...

CFD-Computational Fluid Dynamics models provide comprehensive information about the fluid flow around water structures. A CFD solution allows obtaining almost all of the flow parameters for any desired time interval and ...

The importance of knowledge management is increasingly being recognised in almost every industry Managing knowledge effectively is critical to the survival and advance of a company especially in project-based industries ...

Under repeated seismic loads during an earthquake, increase of pore water pressure in cohesionless, saturated and loose soils leads to decreased shear strength and therefore liquefaction occurs. Literature reports of ...

Liquefaction is the one of the major problems in geotechnical engineering. Especially; deaths, structural damages and financial loss can occur after liquefaction. Therefore, liquefaction potential of the soils should be ...

Since snowmelt runoff is important in the mountainous parts of the world, substantial efforts have been made to develop snowmelt models with many different levels of complexity to simulate the processes at the ground ...

This paper investigates the environmental pollution effects such as saline water, kerosene and sanitary leachate of cyclic wetting and drying on swell and shrink behaviour of compacted Na-bentonite clay. While the distilled ...

Waste clay bricks constitute one of the important groups of the waste materials that cause environmental problems unless the proper use of these materials is found. In this study, the clay brick wastes obtained from a ...

Reuse of hardened concrete rubbles caused by the demolition of concrete structures has recently become possible in construction industry. The utilisation of these materials M concrete production may provide two main benefits; ...

A landfill liner act as a barrier to minimize the migration of leachates in waste containment systems. Thus, proper management of leachates is important to minimize the risk of contamination for groundwater and subsoil. ...
