The paper presents a calibration process for the models developed in Sohag government using VISSIM software, since microscopic simulation models are becoming increasingly important tools in modeling transport systems. Traffic simulation models sometimes provide significant advantages over traditional planning or analytical models, such as SIDRA. Other common reasons for the popularity of simulation models include their attractive animations; their stochastic variability for the capture of real-world traffic conditions; and their capabilities to model complex roadway geometries, such as combined systems of urban streets and freeways. After calibration, validation work using field data from a signalized intersection in Sohag Governorate, Egypt, was conducted and proved the model validity to represent real systems. The simulation model was applied to evaluate the impact of lane width and traffic volume parameters on vehicular delays. The impact of each parameter was assessed and analyzed. It was found that there is a direct proportion between the control delay and the traffic volume parameter and inversely with the lane width parameter. Additionally, the problem of traffic jam at any intersection begins to occur when the traffic volume at 900 veh /h and above at different lane widths, especially at 9 ft resulting in higher delays.","PeriodicalId":34550,"journal":{"name":"Sohag Engineering Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48536607","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 FEA outcome was equated to the experimental outcomes of one GFRP-reinforced concrete mid-rise wall in-term of crack patterns, failure types and load–lateral displacement hysteretic response. A parametric research was then employed highlight the influence of longitudinal reinforcement ratio at wall boundary on diverse design features. It was displayed that the built model was steady and precisely simulated the experimentally stated behavior. The research also showed that while the boundary longitudinal reinforcement ratio had a remarkable effect on ultimate strength as well as the lateral stiffness, it slightly improved the energy dissipation capacity. Developing a technique with a noteworthy influence on energy dissipation that makes GFRP RC mid-rise walls competent to be used in strong seismic activity regions is indispensible. strength, drift capacity, stiffness, residual displacement as well as the energy dissipation capacity. Attending to this objective, two longitudinal reinforcement ratios were studied: 2.53% as well as 3.95%, along with the vertical web reinforcement ratio of 1.43% employed in GnoX. This was accomplished by substituting the vertical #3 GFRP bars with #4 in addition to #5 bars, in turn, whereas maintaining the unchanged horizontal web reinforcement ratio with the similar mechanical features. It should be distinguished that the reinforcement ratio was premeditated bearing in mind the boundary dimensions as 200mm × 200mm. For easiness of reference, the samplings were labeled as G3, G4, and G5, in that order.","PeriodicalId":34550,"journal":{"name":"Sohag Engineering Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43501843","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}

Twenty-six groundwater and one sewage-treated effluent samples were analyzed using standard methods for a range of physio-chemical and microbiological parameters. Surrounding the wastewater plant, about 46% of collected samples were impacted by wastewater contamination, as indicated by positive detections of fecal coliform bacteria infiltrated into groundwater. The distribution of major ions in the groundwater is Na + >Ca 2+ >Mg 2+ >K + and Cl - >HCO 3- >SO 42- >NO 3- . The high salinity in the area may be due to the leaching of evaporites, chemical fertilizers, and irrigation return flow. The high sulfate concentration in the study area mainly from chemical fertilizers and wastewater. Cd, Pb, and Cu are enriched nearby the wastewater treatment plant suggesting contamination by wastewater disposal, while Fe, Mn, and Zn showed higher enrichment at the agricultural land, suggesting a mixing source from agrochemicals and atmospheric deposition of particles. Groundwater from the unconfined aquifer around the West Girga treatment plant is unsuitable for drinking purposes while suitable for irrigation with some restrictions in terms of heavy metals. To mitigate this, treatment of wastewater before irrigation and careful irrigation management is recommended.","PeriodicalId":34550,"journal":{"name":"Sohag Engineering Journal","volume":"100 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41271111","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}

As a result, in recent years, the Egyptian government has tended to exploit those spaces by constructing new cities, such as New Sohag. The city of New Sohag was founded in the western desert near the Nile River. Although, these new cities appear to be a cure for a variety of issues, including traffic congestion, population growth, the building of a new road network, and so on. However, most of the soil in these cities is problematic. This type of soils, which may pose engineering challenges when uncovered beneath pavements or foundations, have sparked worldwide interest in recent years. In this study, several ratios of novel polymer additives (Dust Shield) were introduced to the swelling soil of subgrade foundation at New Sohag city, which were employed as supporting pavements, with 1, 2 , 3, and 4 % by dry weight of soil. Increasing additives resulted in an increase in maximum dry density, California bearing ratio, and unconfined compressive strength, as well as a decrease in plasticity index and swelling pressure, according to the results of various tests. This research determined the best dosage amounts for each of the additives studied. Based on the findings, it can be inferred that Dust Shield may effectively improve the expanding soil.","PeriodicalId":34550,"journal":{"name":"Sohag Engineering Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49355051","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}
