Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is a relatively new construction material, whose applications can replace natural aggregates. To do so, extensive studies on its mechanical behavior and deformation characteristics are still necessary. RCA is currently used as a subbase material in the construction of roads, which are subject to high settlements due to traffic loading. The deformation character...

while in the historic urban fabric of iran's cities, there are numerous traditional buildings that have stood up for more than one hundred years, today's buildings, in spite of advanced construction technologies, are not comparable with those traditional ones in terms of resiliency and durability. the sustainable vernacular strategies in design and construction of these traditional ho...

OSMOTIC REGULATION IN AQUATIC ANIMALS. By August Krogh. Cambridge: At the University Press; New York: The Macmillan Company. 1939, pp. vii + 242, $4.00. To the series of Cambridge Comparative Physiology monographs, Professor Krogh has added a treatise on "the relations between concentrations of solutions, inside and outside cells and organisms." As Professor Krogh points out, there are wide div...

The primary goal of this thesis is to analyze current trends in the improvement of the performance and safety of glass during an earthquake. The four sections consist of an overview of glass as a building material, glass installation methods, rehabilitation methods for existing structures, and building code related issues. The thesis is based on an analysis of sources including books, journal a...

Estimating cost in construction is important to the city's design and planning management hence, estimate must not be overpriced which may cause corruption or underpricing that leads unreliable low-quality road projects. The total estimated only valid same year it was proposed because of inflation rate costs change. researchers applied Multiple Linear Regression technique predicting for analysi...

In this article, a special type of orthogonalization is obtained to construct a multiple input transfer function model. By using this technique, construction of a transfer function model is divided to sequential construction of transfer function models with less input time series. Furthermore, based on real and simulated time series we provide an instruction to adequately perform the stages of ...
