The objective of this study is to explore the impact of climate change on future precipitation and temperature changes in the northwest region of Bangladesh using the statistical downscaling model (SDSM). In this study, Rajshahi station is taken as the case study area, and two widely applied general circulation models (GCMs), namely the Canadian Earth System Model (CanESM2) and the Hadley Center Coupled Model (HadCM3), are used for the climate change analysis. The results demonstrate that after bias correction, the CanESM2-based downscaling model performs better compared to the HadCM3-based downscaling model. The bias-corrected models for both GCMs are then employed for the projection of future precipitation and temperatures for the 2040s and 2090s, considering climate change scenarios. The precipitation trend is found to be negative for both GCMs in all scenarios. Considering the worst climate change scenarios for both GCMs (i.e., the RCP8.5 scenario in the CanESM2 and the A2 scenario in the HadCM3), the mean annual precipitation will be decreased by 9.3% and 4.5% in the 2040s and 12.1% and 4.1% in the 2090s. Furthermore, the mean annual maximum temperature will be increased by 0.233°C and 0.245°C in the 2040s and 0.468°C and 0.633°C in the 2090s, whereas the mean annual minimum temperature will be increased by 0.394°C and 0.188°C in the 2040s and 0.394°C and 0.357°C in the 2090s. Thus, the current study comes to the conclusion that decreased precipitation and increased temperatures will have an effect on the water resources in the study region, leading to a reduction in the overall supply of surface water and groundwater storage. It is expected that the study findings will help water managers and policymakers in developing a framework for sustainable and adaptive water management in the face of climate change.\u0000Journal of Engineering Science 14(2), 2023, 127-136","PeriodicalId":52570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Science","volume":"53 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140487635","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 system consists of a microcontroller, ultrasonic sensor, GSM module, and software. When a human presence is detected within the configured range of 1 to 70cm, the ultrasonic sensor sends a signal to the microcontroller, which in turn sends a command to the GSM module to notify the homeowner. The performance of the system was tested using various parameters with results showing that the device can detect human presence within the range of 1-80cm.\u0000Journal of Engineering Science 14(2), 2023, 47-58","PeriodicalId":52570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Science","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140488629","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}

Additionally, the study sought to establish the method for selecting optimal installation parameters of EWPHE to increase performance and efficiency. A simulation model was made in the TRNSYS (v16.0) platform to determine the optimum values of design parameters. The simulation was run by altering its operating parameters, such as the rate of water flow, length of the pipe, built materials of the pipe, and the diameter of the underground pipeline. According to the findings, pipe burial can be done to a depth of 3.5 meters to achieve optimal output. The results of comparing four distinct materials, namely GI, Steel, PVC, and HDPE, show that these materials' characteristics do not significantly affect how well the systems perform. Additionally, as the water flow rate is increased, it is shown that the EWPHE performance is declining. According to the simulation results, it is concluded that a pipe with a length of 50 meters would be sufficient in the proposed EWPHE system to reach an average temperature decrease from 35 °C to 27 °C. Subsequently, in the field experiment, the EWPHE system had an average efficacy of 55% throughout January, which is quite promising.\u0000Journal of Engineering Science 14(2), 2023, 79-88","PeriodicalId":52570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Science","volume":"27 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140489588","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 use of RCA in concrete production helps to alleviate the depletion of natural resources, as it serves as a substitute for traditional coarse and fine aggregates. This study identifies the microstructural aspects of RCA concrete, employing advanced techniques like scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging with energydispersive spectroscopy (EDS) to analyze the microstructure and chemical composition of recycled concrete. The detailed microstructural analysis is anticipated to elucidate how the RCA content influences the interfacial transition zone, bond strength, and overall concrete performance. RCA exhibits a unique microstructure due to the presence of attached old mortar, which can influence the overall performance of RCA concrete. This study also explores the utilization of 100% RCA in preparing recycled concrete, comparing it with old and ordinary new concrete. The focus is on microstructural properties, hydration products, and the Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) between cement paste and aggregates. Samples were collected from a 47-year-old building, separating aggregates into different grades. Recycled coarse aggregates and recycled fine aggregates were obtained, and natural aggregates were collected. Concrete mixes for recycled and natural concrete were designed for a test strength of C30. Concrete cylinders were tested for compressive strength at 7, 28, and 90 days. Old concrete exhibited a dense microstructure with well-formed C-S-H gels, contributing to its superior strength. Recycled concrete, however, showed a wider and less dense ITZ, resulting in a more porous microstructure. EDS spectra confirmed C-S-H gel as the primary hydration product in all mixes, with the Ca/Si ratio varying, indicating complexity in hydrated product formation. The research highlights differences in microstructural and chemical characteristics among old concrete, ordinary new concrete, and recycled concrete. The wider ITZ and more porous microstructure in recycled concrete contribute to reduced strength. These findings provide insights into sustainable construction practices, promoting the use of recycled materials and addressing environmental challenges in the construction industry. As the construction industry continues to embrace sustainability, further research into the properties, performance, and best practices for incorporating RCA into concrete will play a pivotal role in advancing eco-friendly construction methodologies.\u0000Journal of Engineering Science 14(2), 2023, 145-155","PeriodicalId":52570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Science","volume":"176 3-4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140490155","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}

Savar is a fast-growing outer urban area of the capital Dhaka, which is growing through rapid urbanization in the recent decade. As enormous population growth causing the capital city to expand beyond city boundary, Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK), the Capital Development Authority of the Government of Bangladesh has identified Savar as one of the five outer urban areas in the Regional Development Plan (RDP) known as Dhaka Structure Plan (2016-2035) for promoting compact development where various activities of the capital city will shift to minimize the congestion of the core city. For successful implementation of this strategy a careful investigation of the existing spatial structure of these areas is essential for guiding future urban development. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the potential of these proposed urban areas to accommodate their future growth in a compact manner focusing on Savar, an established urban area of the Dhaka Metropolitan Region. For assessing the compact development potential of Savar, this paper analyzed six indicators of two major aspects of urban form, population and land use pattern using Geographical Information System (GIS). The results of this study revealed that the growth pattern of Savar is still not compact and efficient planning mechanism should be devised for its future growth in a sustainable manner.  The findings of this study will help policymakers, planners, architects and development authorities in policymaking, planning and designing a more sustainable and efficient urban area through compact urban development at intra-urban level.\u0000Journal of Engineering Science 14(2), 2023, 107-125","PeriodicalId":52570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Science","volume":"50 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140487444","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}
