    Abstract: The inconsistencies and variations in design of pavements arising from using different methods has become a critical issue in Sudan. This paper is aimed to develop a structural design procedure for flexible pavements in order to simplify the design process by using a software program and provide a uniform structural design result. The literature of... Show More

    Abstract: Steel slag is a by-product of the steel industry and can be used potentially as aggregate in asphalt mixture. This study evaluates the use of Steel Slag Aggregates (SSA) as substitute for natural aggregates in the production of hot mix asphalt (HMA) for road construction. Based on intensive laboratory testing program, the characteristic properties ... Show More

    Abstract: One of the most important structures to resist against lateral loading, are moment frames. It is obvious that the beam-column connections play an important role in frame behavior especially on the lateral displacement of structure. In this study, 3 buildings with 5, 10 and 15 stories respectively was modeled by ETABS software and various dimension ... Show More

    Abstract: This study included collection of field data using questionnaires and analysis of secondary data from Kenya’s Directorate of occupational safety and Health (DOSH) covering the period between 2010 and 2014. Perhaps due to inadequate training in safety and lack of experience, 74% of the workers who were injured or killed when accidents occurred in co... Show More
