Road traffic systcm comprises of three components viz. road, vehicle and human. Like roadway fault and human error, defective and road unworthy motor vehicles on road pose a threat to safety of road traffic system. In ...

Keeping the deflection within acceptable limit and making a structure serviceable is the most important design criteria after meeting the strength requirement. Code equation (B.N.B.C 1993, ACI 1997) enables one to ...

The monotonic response of natural rubber (NR) and high damping rubber (HDR) as revealed through recent experiments are critically examined and reported here in. In understanding the mechanical behavior of rubbers, attention ...

The behaviour of skew slabs under vertical loads is reported in this thesis. All the slabs tested experimentally in the laboratory were 1/6th scale models of proto-type skew slabs having opposite edges simply supported. ...

The present study has been carried out to investigate the effects of sampling disturbance on mechanical behaviour of reconstituted normally consolidated and overconsolidated Dhaka clay (OCR values of 2, 5, and 10). ...

In this study, jute geotextiles have been used in two different applications related to road construction. In one application, open mesh type untreated geojute has been used to stabilize the road slopes from raindrop ...

In the study of Ultimate Load Behaviour of Skew Slab Bridge Deck. reinforced concrete double lane skew slab bridge deck model were selected. The study was conducted with 1/ 4th scale models. There were two types of ...

Fertilizer is an important chemical compound. In Bangladesh yearly agricultural productions are much less than the actual demand. Nitrogenous fertilizer (mainly urea) is essential to increase the agricultural production. ...
