However, the construction industry’s insatiable need for building supplies has led to the widespread exploitation of natural resources like river sand and stone. However, one of the most pressing problems in the construction industry and others nowadays is excessive waste and byproducts. Promoting ecological control and the goal of sustainable progress has put environmental pressure on all businesses, including construction, to embrace eco-friendly practices. Environmentalists’ concerns about the dangers posed by the widespread use of natural resources in building construction are growing. In some instances, construction debris may be harmful to the environment. Global building growth and redevelopment plans have worsened demolition in the construction industry. The demand for construction materials is increasing yearly due to urbanism, but their costs are rising simultaneously. Using industrial waste like polymers and rubbers and natural waste like olive stones and pumice stones to replace cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate to reduce building costs conserves natural resources from exhaustion and protects the environment from waste impact and risks. The current research shows how waste can be used to replace materials on construction sites and the impact of the properties of these materials on the quality of concrete.","PeriodicalId":33282,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48091254","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}

In this paper, a Vehicle Black Box system based 433MHz long-range wireless modulation technology developed for safe driving issues by utilizing gas and flames sensors, and for false traffic violation recording issues by proofing the availability of the vehicle at traffic violation location by utilizing a GPS module. The system-based Internet of Vehicles model transmits the acquired data, where two nodes representing vehicles used with one base station form Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication mode. The system was tested in real-time and the sensed data was transmitted and stored in a database for future analyzing purposes where the acquired GPS data was used as proof of the vehicle’s correct location with date and time stamps. Two vehicle data where captured and stored indicating their correct location with date and time stamps and stored in a database at the base station. The measured Received Signal Strength indicator and Signal-to-Noise ratio values are stored for analyzing purposes. The performance of the system in such Internet of Vehicle environment is discussed according to the readings.","PeriodicalId":33282,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43839107","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}

The underwater multi-path propagation leads to reverberation as well as fading, which causes large transmission loss. The present paper conducts 3 underwater acoustic simulation outcomes in the district of Abu Dali - Kazem Al Ali village - Tigris beaches - Baghdad - Iraq. The distance from the sender to the receiver are (100m, 1000 m, and 5000m). With the use Ray model, results have shown that the multi-path propagations dominate in a case where the distance from sender to receiver, has been increased, which resulted in decreasing the grazing angle, thereby, increasing the coefficient of reflection. The consecutive path amplitude values will not be decreased quickly. This is why differences in the time between different paths are minimal. This indicates that the consecutive path-ways will be converged with time, which will result in an inter- symbol interference phenomenon, playing a role in an increase of the received data bit error rate.","PeriodicalId":33282,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44252505","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}

The suggested SEPIC DC-DC converter achieves a high voltage gain of 7.5 times the supply voltage when the duty cycle value is kept at 0.5 with only a unique controlled switch. The gain of the proposed converter is greatly increased while the ripple of output voltage and the input current is decreased for higher values of the duty cycle. In addition, the decreased value of the input current ripple results in limited switching stress. The suggested converter is analyzed in detail for continuous conduction mode (CCM).

In this paper, a channel version of the broadband power line communications is assumed when evaluating the bit error rate performance. Three impulsive noise environments are assumed, namely heavily, moderately, and weakly disturbed. The well-known time domain mitigation techniques are tested first. These are clipping, blanking, and mixing clipping with blanking. The results of Matlab simulations show that these time-domain mitigation techniques don't significantly improve the bit error rate performance. A hybrid domain of time and frequency mitigation techniques are used to enhance the bit error rate performance. The Matlab simulation results show that this hybrid domain of time and frequency approach outperforms time domain nonlinearities and can largely improve the bit error rate performance.

Brackets, corbels, and ledger beams are examples of concrete members that might collapse in shear. Such a failure might be brittle and sudden. Fibers improve concrete's behavior by increasing residual shear transfer and reducing crack development and extension. In an experimental study, nine push-off specimens were divided into three groups and examined as part of the experiment. Conventional concrete, conventional concrete with 1% glass fiber, and conventional concrete with 1% steel fiber were the groups. There were three push-off specimens with various shear reinforcement ratios in each of the groups that were examined (0.0, 0.45, and 0.68%). The specimens utilized had dimensions of 500mm x 250mm x 125mm. The vertical slip and horizontal separation at the shear plane were measured using two-stroke linear variable displacement transducers (LVDT). The effect of fiber type and the ratio of transverse reinforcement across the shear plane were the parameters evaluated. The presence of fibers enhances final shear strength, which is more obvious in specimens without stirrups in the shear plane. Where the addition of 1% of glass fiber to normal strength concrete increased ultimate shear strength by 32.26%, 12.38%, and 12.5%, while adding 1% of steel fiber to normal strength concrete increased ultimate shear strength by up to 53.22%, 19%, and 25%, respectively, for the specimens without stirrups, two stirrups, and three stirrups. The fibrous specimens were stiffer and ductile failure was seen. Steel fibers improved overall concrete shear behavior better than glass fibers.","PeriodicalId":33282,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45776867","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}
