It is safer than highways. In Iraq, many railways connect the south country with the middle and north, which are old, damaged, and need to continued maintenance. Iraq needs to construct new lines of the rail track with low-cost, less maintenance, and highly stable structure, which requires understanding the behavior of rail track under train loads and the pattern of distribution of deformations, stresses, and strains inside the body of rail track and know the layer which more effected by changing the strength of ballast layer by change modulus of elasticity of it. This paper investigates the influence of modulus of elasticity of the ballast layer on the behavior of railways and the positions of deformation, stresses, and strains in the rail track which is most affected by the change in the modulus of elasticity and the value of the effect. The finite element approach was considered in this study using Abaqus Ver. 6.14-4 program. The investigation outcomes displayed that when the ballast layer’s modulus of elasticity E increase by 100 MPa, the value of deformation in the rail track is affected in all layers, and the value of decreased is 6.8 % for rail, 6.9 % for ballast, and 6.7 % for the sub-ballast layer. Therefore the strain of the sub-ballast layer is affected by the change modulus of elasticity of the ballast layer more than other ballast and subgrade. Also, the result shows that stresses in the rail are the only part of the rail track affected by the change in the ballast layer’s modulus of elasticity E, while the other layers are unaffected. So the increase in E of the ballast layer affects the layer beneath it, which is the sub-ballast layer.","PeriodicalId":42034,"journal":{"name":"Civil and Environmental Engineering","volume":"324 1","pages":"568 - 574"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139019735","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}

It is capable of filling deep microcracks and healing the crack autonomously by calcium carbonate precipitating phenomenon which results in sustainable construction materials. The purpose of this research is to investigate the use of microorganisms Bacillus Subtilis to improve the mechanical properties and the efficiency of self-healing of reinforced concrete beams for two types of concrete, reactive powder concrete (RPC), and lightweight self-compacting concrete (LWASCC), by two methods of addition (direct addition, and encapsulation). The experimental program consists of casting six simply supported beams tested under monotonic and repeated loading. Incorporate bacteria and the precursor (calcium lactate) in concrete mixtures show an improvement in compressive strength, splitting, and flexural strength by up to 21.74 %, 10.92 %, 21.21 % by encapsulation method, and 17.7 %, 18.0 %, 20.84 % by direct addition. In addition, there is an enhancement in the first crack load and ultimate load.

These are designed to withstand all types of weather and dynamic loads. The response was very high under applied these loads. This paper includes a proposal to apply a new isolation system to be placed in different places on the offshore platform to reduce vibrations from high water waves. Three cases that be used, fixed-based (column connect directly to the pile), isolation system in the pile head (isolation between column and pile), and isolation system in the pile head and the middle of columns. The dynamic movements in waves were simulated using ABAQUS programs. More accurate elements and real material properties were used to bring the results closer to reality. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method was used to study the effect of water-structure interaction and soil-structure interaction. The results show that the use of the isolation system at the base of the offshore platform has a very significant effect on decreasing the response of the platform to the loads placed on it. Where the isolation system works as a hinge at the pile head and is not allowed to move and rotate for the pile, also the moments are zero. As for the shear force, it is the least that can be compared with the other cases.","PeriodicalId":42034,"journal":{"name":"Civil and Environmental Engineering","volume":"47 1","pages":"662 - 675"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139024125","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 application of shredded rubber creates conditions for devulcanization, which improves the rheological properties of the binder and ensures its better dissolution in asphalt. The focus is on assessing the condition of the pavement surface, measuring the noise level in the vicinity of the road, and quantifying and evaluating the cost of implementing an asphalt pavement design with a crumb rubber modifier (CRM). A visual inspection was performed after 6 years of pavement life. Based on the inspection outputs, the pavement surface structure was in a favourable condition with no permanent deformations. Verifying the acoustic properties showed a noise reduction compared to the road section with the modified asphalt pavement surface. Currently, the price of rubber-modified asphalt for pavement in Slovakia is on average 10 to 15 % higher than the price of other modified mixes. However, we can conclude that pavements with CRM are economically and especially ecologically more advantageous in the long run.","PeriodicalId":42034,"journal":{"name":"Civil and Environmental Engineering","volume":"64 ","pages":"587 - 595"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138992561","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}

Eight major hospitals in Baghdad were selected to determine the current reality of providing fire safety tools or equipment and what are the preventive measures needed to reduce it. The results after practical study showed many defects and weaknesses in the current situation due to their reliance on the traditional management to manage and provide all preventive measures and safety tools, which was also confirmed by the results of the field survey that indicated a large gap and absence of an internal protection system against fire accidents. The study concludes by suggesting basic alternatives to improve the safety of hospital buildings, including improving system evaluation, establishing a management system for firefighting equipment, periodic monitoring and accident analysis, and establishing a reliability management system for safety training. The study recommends to activating a new management system to improve the current utilization in Iraqi public hospitals.","PeriodicalId":42034,"journal":{"name":"Civil and Environmental Engineering","volume":"269 ","pages":"520 - 531"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139021328","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}

Since materials and soil compaction play important roles in the stability and durability of roads. This study focuses on the importance of the problems related to water resources in arid regions, considering both the economy and the population in these areas. For this reason, the local materials in Bechar (Algeria) were used to enhance the road construction process. Hence, using the combination of tuff and limestone sand (LS) materials to minimize the amount of water for the road construction compaction is investigated. Different combinations, including 100% tuff, 80% tuff and 20% limestone sand, 70% tuff and 30% limestone sand, and 60% tuff and 40% limestone sand, were evaluated with the Proctor and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests. The test results showed that using 60% tuff and 40% limestone sand resulted in the minimum water content of 10.5% compared to other combinations of tuff and limestone sand of this study, and it will be beneficial in arid regions where there is a water shortage. Three different percentages of lime (1%,2%, and 3%) were also added to the optimum mixture. However, the results showed that adding this material has no significant mechanical effects.","PeriodicalId":42034,"journal":{"name":"Civil and Environmental Engineering","volume":"51 2","pages":"630 - 639"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138992655","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}
