-
(SUN MeDIA, 2014)The article describes the application of a GIS-based accessibility measurement technique suited to assessing the impact of both transport and spatial development strategies on the location-specific affordability of job ...
-
(Elsevier, 2019-01)Accurate nonlinear dynamic analysis of reinforced concrete structures is necessary for estimating the behavior of concrete structures during an earthquake. A realistic modeling approach to assess their strength and their ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2021-05)The launch of Engineering 4.0 on 30 November 2020 at the University of Pretoria’s Hillcrest campus marked the start of an ambitious endeavour to realise data-driven smart cities and transportation networks.
-
(Elsevier, 2022-08)The presented work utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms, to model and interpret the behavior of the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced concrete deep beams without stirrups. This is done by first running ...
-
(Elsevier, 2019-09)The trapdoor problem is a useful model to understand the stress distribution around geo-structures. This paper focuses on evaluating the conditions of maximum arching (minimum loads on trapdoors) developing during the ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2004)Recent timber trussed roof failures in South Africa, especially in Gauteng, of large-span trusses have necessitated a rethink about the analysis of timber trusses in general, but especially primary girder trusses, which ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 1997)The Eurocode 5 (1995) timber connection design formulae are discussed briefly and applied to the usual standard bolted or nailed South African round timber pole connections to obtain theoretical strengths. These theoretical ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2014-04)Finite Element methods have been used by civil and structural engineers since the 1960s, and the theory behind this is well researched. However, there is still a lack of direction on how to use the information obtained ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2022-12)The performance of railway track structure is influenced by the ballast shape properties including roundness, flatness, elongation, sphericity, angularity and surface texture. The challenge is how to accurately measure ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2017-06)The presence of a significant thickness of soft silts beneath the site of a proposed new road bridge caused concerns over the suitability of shallow foundations. Despite extensive conventional ground investigations, it ...
-
(Journal of Transport Economics and Policy, 2013-05)Hub-and-spoke networks hold promise for decreasing costs and increasing connectivity in air transport markets in countries characterised by sparse demand conditions. This paper examines suitable hub-location and network ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2021-04)In recent years, technological advancements in the field of unsaturated soil mechanics have helped improve understanding in this field for both researchers and engineering practitioners. Gaspar & Jacobsz (2019) ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2010-10)Response sensitivity analysis as a part of dynamic finite element structural analysis has many applications to structures of realistic scale and complexity in earthquake engineering. A demonstration project, consisting of ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-11)Bus rapid transit (BRT) systems are often implemented as a means toward achieving regulatory reform in the transport sector. This often involves simultaneous formalisation of informal paratransit operators, and restructuring ...
-
(ASTM International, 2019-01)Traffic loading is one of key inputs for new and rehabilitation designs of pavement. Heavy vehicles cause the most structural damage to pavements; hence, as part of the pavement design process, heavy vehicle volume, and ...
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2015-03)Bulk materials handling systems are extensively used in the mining and minerals industry, where a fairly high incidence of structural failure is experienced, notwithstanding design compliance with appropriate standards. ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2010-05)No abstract available.
-
The behaviour of a reinforced soil mattress spanning a cavity modelled in a geotechnical centrifuge (Springer, 2016-10)Sinkholes can occur on land underlain by dolomite and cause substantial damage to buildings and even loss of life. More than four million people work or reside on dolomite land in South Africa and it is therefore important to ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2023)Concrete pavements are typically considered to be rigid pavements and are designed using principles based on the beam-on-elastic support equations as derived by Westergaard in 1926. Ultra-Thin Continuously Reinforced ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2008-06)The falling weight deflectometer (FWD) is used worldwide as an established, valuable, nondestructive road testing device for pavement structural analyses. The FWD is used mostly for rehabilitation project level design ...
