Abstract: The design of anchor fastenings in concrete is dealt with in EN 1992-4 [1] only for simple anchor layouts (Figure 1). For fastenings with gap in the fixture near the edge under shear load towards to the edge, maximum of two anchors in a row parallel to the edge can be designed. In the case of fastenings under torsional mome

Abstract: The air quality in the premises with the presence of people affects the performance and health of a person. In the context of the spread of infections and various respiratory diseases, air exchange in the room, the presence of fresh, clean air become a mandatory requirement to prevent the development of diseases. During the

Abstract: The main use of the lateral intakes is water conversion from a main channel into a branch channel for different purposes such as water distribution network, irrigation and cooling systems at thermal power plants. The flow structure at the intake is very complicated due to sediment diversions. The intake usually installed ma

Abstract: Very long dry seasons due to high temperature and decrease of rainfall rate, may threaten the stability of dams and dikes, and make them more sensitive to internal erosion. This vulnerability raises a question of how such hydraulic structures could behave after the degradation of soil properties. This research investigated

Abstract: In general Primary Air fan (PA Fan) foundation consist of a block foundation / semi framed foundation with heavy concrete mass. Its dynamic behavior is studied using Barkan’s method by most of the engineering practitioners. This method has limitations in providing wholistic details of foundation behavior like transient stag

Abstract: Many schools of architecture focus on developing students' competence in the spatial and aesthetic aspects of architectural design, with less effort to inform them about the multidisciplinary nature of actual design in practice. The paper will describe the main disciplines that are often involved in the design and construct

Abstract: A Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) system has the potential for reducing CO2 emission and fossil fuel consumption. The high heating efficiency of a typical GSHP system compared to conventional heating devices, such as gas-fired furnaces or boilers, makes it more attractive in cold-climate regions, e.g., the areas of the north
