This work deals with using time-domain reflectometry (TDR) to measure the electrical properties of roller compacted concrete (RCC). It is well known that TDR provides a non-destructive method dielectric constant toward an estimation moisture content for soil materials. However, few studies have used determine in because inability obtain traces after hardens. To traces, transmission circuit init...

OBJECTIVE The growing shift toward home care services assumes that "being home is good" and that this is the most desirable option. Although ethical issues in medical decision-making have been examined in numerous contexts, home care decisions for technology-dependent children and the moral dilemmas that this population confronts remain virtually unknown. This study explored the moral dimension...

The sustainable design and construction of highways is indispensable for the economic growth progress any region. Highway pavements are one core transportation infrastructures that require energy efficient materials with durability an optimized lifecycle. Recent research has proven warm-mix asphalt prepared renewable bio-binders less susceptible to distresses. This study aims investigate resili...

Governments and road agencies face the challenging task of maintaining roads. One reasons this is that maintenance process requires utilizing a substantial amount network condition data. There are many approaches for measuring surface conditions which very costly time-consuming, as well requiring skillful operators. Developing countries have limited budgets planning monitoring maintenance. This...

Abstract In the near future, world of civil and building engineering will be dominated by advent bio-materials. Even road paving sector is involved in transition towards more sustainable solutions, promoting at same time environmental benefits economic savings. Currently, one main goals to ensure that bio-binders offer good performance, least comparable with offered conventional materials. last...
