An expert system utility prototype for the evaluation of environmental impacts of civil engineering projects
… program for use by engineers in the planning of civil engineering projects. The idea is that this system will be used early in the planning phase of projects, to identify potential negative environmental impacts and there by iteratively modify proposals before further work on them is undertaken. …

A robust planning and control methodology for design-build fast-track civil engineering and architectural projects
… of axiomatic design concept, concurrent engineering, graphical evaluation and review technique (GERT), and the system dynamics modeling technique. The goal of the proposed methodology is to help create a robust project plan for design-build fast-track civil engineering projects where …

Wastewater Treatment Comes To Detroit: Law, Politics, Technology And Funding
… involvement in this and other large scale civil engineering projects during this period was the only way it was possible for them to be completed.</p>

Experimental investigation of soil volume changes during freezing and thawing
… freezing is a natural phenomenon that affects civil engineering projects, especially in cold regions or where artificial ground freezing (AGF) is employed. Freezing causes water in the soil pores to turn into ice, which expands, leading to ice lens formation and frost heave. Thawing causes the …

The use of construction and demolition waste in concrete in Cape Town
… incentive to incorporate these materials into civil engineering projects in Cape Town. In order to promote the use of RAs, a construction and demolition waste (C&DW) recycling culture has to be developed. Analysis of municipal waste data over the past 10 years shows that the commercial …

Active earth pressure from c-Ø soil subjected to surcharge and seismic loadings
… of repose has been a routine practice in most civil engineering projects. The successful design of such structures depends greatly on the calculation of total active force from the soil backfills, which has been a topic of research since the early development of analytical expressions presented …

Wedge failure analysis of anchored rock slopes subjected to surcharge and seismic loads
Slope stability in mining and civil engineering projects is always a problem of great concern. Because the rock mass behavior is significantly governed by the presence of joints or other discontinuities, several types of slope failure, such as plane failure, wedge failure, toppling failure, …

Design flood peak determination in the rural catchments of the Eastern Cape, South Africa
… events have significant implications to the engineering profession and the affected communities. The estimation of peak design floods is necessary for the planning and design of civil engineering projects. Over the past century standard methods for flood peak estimation have been developed …

Control of construction contracts. Analysis of systems for the control of progress, quality and cost of construction to the client, based upon six cases in building or civil engineering in the UK.
Six civil engineering and building projects under construction have been observed in order to compare theory and practice, and thus draw conclusions on how Clients and their management teams may control construction effectively. It has been reported and the six studies have shown that during …

Water resources management & hydroclimatic data analysis in transboundary river basins under the influence of climate variability & water abstraction : Nile river basin
… of alteration is a function of the number of civil engineering projects being inoperation and classified by time windows; pre-alteration is between 1900 and 1925,while the alteration period is between 1933 and 2012. The alteration period wasclassified into three periods based on the degree of …
