Interfacing RSTP changes are in structural dynamics and the way the forces are distributed. Nevertheless, the overall seismic behavior of this type of foundation in medium dry sand soil links to the pile raft foundation system with partial structural connection has not been studied adequately. To fill this gap we experimentally tested ten pile and group pile layouts in the laboratory in order to explore the interaction of the cushion layer with piles at different spacing. These tests concern the displacement mechanism of the raft foundation and the stressing change of the RSTP layers that occur during earthquakes. The results showed that using RSTP layers helps to minimize the variations in displacement between patterns with connected piles and those with disconnected piles when subjected to shaking loads. The pattern 1DR6cm showed a high settlement reduction ratio compared with 1DR2cm. Pattern 2C2D appeared less reduction in the vertical displacement. More significant displacements and rotating behavior anticipate lateral shaking due to reduce the number of connected piles for pattern 1C4D compare with pattern 4C1D. The pattern 3C6DHR2cm decreased the vertical displacement by 48.4% using one layer of RSTP. Using three layers of RSTP contributes to reducing the displacement by 36.4%.

The design is based on using 16-dB multi-section coupled line directional couplers and a multi-section 3-dB Wilkinson power divider operating from 1 to 6 GHz. The proposed SPR employs only two calibration standards: a matched load and an open load. As compared to other dielectric substrates, fabricating the proposed SPR involves using a low-cost (FR4) substrate. A novel algorithm is also proposed to estimate the complex reflection coefficient over the frequency ranges at which the standard performance of the circuit components is not fully satisfied. The new algorithm is based on the circles’ intersection points, which have been derived from basic SPR equations, to estimate the complex reflection coefficient. To validate the SPR performance, a multiband microstrip patch antenna has been measured and the resulted reflection coefficient is compared with those obtained using a vector network analyzer (VNA). Results show that the proposed SPR provides a good estimation of the complex reflection coefficient within the frequency range of 1 GHz to 8 GHz. Owing to its compact size and ease of fabrication, the proposed reflectometer is suitable for various microwave broadband applications.","PeriodicalId":15716,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141694528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research aims to estimate travel time and predict delay time on three routes in Baghdad city using GPS devices: Safi Al-Den Street, Palestine Street, and the Army Channel Expressway. The study was conducted northward from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Reliability indices for the first and second routes with signalized intersections, including buffer index, travel time index, and 95th percentile travel time, were determined. Safi Al-Den Street's buffer time index for links 1 to 3 is approximately 44.75%, 39.87%, and 39.12%, respectively. The highest travel time index value is observed in link 3 at 8.9%. Link 1 has the longest 95% travel time at 659 seconds. Palestine Street shows a high buffer time index in links 1 and 3 at around 32.39% and 24.65%, respectively. The highest travel time index is in link 3 at 6.84%, attributed to congestion from increased educational, medical, and commercial trips. The longest 95% travel time is 430 seconds in link 7.
