Currently, modular building construction (MBC) is gaining in popularity as an alternative to
conventional on-site building construction (CBC). While the appearance of modular
buildings is most often indistinguishable ...
Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) industry is rapidly growing in India. With the increase in
infrastructure projects the use of concrete increases exponentially and so the RMC industry.
All public and government projects are going ...
Men and women travel behaviours are different during the joumev to work from their home.
Men travel more length of travel and tend to work more days in a week than that of women.
Study on men and women travellers’ behaviour ...
Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining wall systems represent by far the most widely used type
of retaining wall used by the transportation industry in the United States. These retaining walls have
three primary ...
When it is compared with the flexible pavements, tensile stresses along the pavement layers are more
significant in rigid pavements. Shrinkage stresses and thermal stresses are the dominant contributors to
develop the ...
Engineering design and analysis often rely on simplified models. These models are convenient and
practical for use in routine applications. However, they have many inherent limitations. Most significant
among these ...
The success of any pavement construction project depends on using durable materials as well as
following proper construction practices. Durability of the pavement depends on selecting proper
materials to meet design ...
Many transit corridors experience significant delays and are often operating at or near capacity; A single
mode may not be able to provide either the required capacity or improved Level of Service (LOS) in
major, heavily ...
Regression models are quite commonly used in air travel demand estimation. This paper
presents a passenger forecast model for the Bandaranaike International Airport, which is the
single international gateway for passengers ...
Walking from origins to transit stops, transferring between transit lines and walking from transit stops
to destinations—all add to the burden of transit travel. Transfer, in particular, has been shown to
produce an ...
Pedestrian facilities in urban environment are sometimes less appealing in residential/
recreational areas or insufficient to serve the peak hour pedestrian flows in commercial areas
.There is no proper mechanism to ...
Hydroplaning occurs when water pressure builds up in front of and under a moving vehicle tire resulting
in an uplift force sufficient to separate the tire from the pavement. The loss of steering and the drag
force produced ...
Despite considerable safety measures implemented by traffic and transportation engineers, speeding
continues to be a significant safety problem on the highway network, both in the United States and
other countries. Even ...
It has become important to improve planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance
standards and manage road system efficiently. There are number of management systems such as
pavement management system, road ...
The world transportation system matures day-by-day wherein the congestion growth rate is alarming
while its infrastructure growth has slowed down, which affects the quality of life. Developing highway
infrastructure by ...
Work trip is not flexible trip as like shopping trip where are the travel destination has choice
characteristic. In the urban area, the shopping trip is one of the biggest trip generation, and a push
factor of urban ...
Natural disasters have been known to humans ever since the formation of early civilizations. However,
as increased human interventions contribute to the destabilization of the natural balance of
environmental processes, ...
Adaptive traffic signal control typically feeds the real-time traffic data, collected by the sensors, into a
build-in controller to produce the timing plans. Thus, it can provide signal-timing plans in response to
real-time ...
Geometric designs of national roads in the remote areas of Sri Lanka are involved with the economic
constraints. Therefore, following the accepted design standards is not practical in many of the
occasions. The reasons ...
