the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

Port Hinterland Modelling Based on Port Choice

This paper presents a new approach for hinterland modelling based on the results of port choice modelling. The paper follows the idea that the shippers’ port choice is a trade-off between various objective and subjective factors. The presented model tackles the problem by applying the AHP method in order to obtain ports’ preference rates based on subjective factors, and combine them with object...

A Case Study Approach to Port Centric Logistics: the Sea Port versus Inland Location Dilemma

Introduction Ports act as a natural decoupling point in the supply chain and hence represent the most convenient place to position inventory and undertake customising activities. This approach has been termed port centric logistics. This paper examines the issue of port centric logistics’ location, and asks the fundamental question: is it best for distribution centre activities to be sited at a...

Classification model for performance diagnosis of dry port by rail

Dry port is an inland intermodal terminal directly linked by road or rail to a seaport as a center for the transshipment of sea freight to inland destinations. However roads contribute to pollution more than rail. For sustainable transportation systems, we need to improve the performance of rail dry port systems. The purpose of this research is to propose a diagnostic system for modeling and cl...
