Two Lane Roads with Multifunctional Median Lane
Abstract The paper presents use of multifunctional median lanes in two-lane two-way roads instead of paved shoulders on national roads through villages. Traffic safety problems caused by paved shoulders and reasons for their reconstruction are...

Equilibrium Finite Elements of Spherical Shells in Analysis Problems
Abstract In this paper, the problems of analysis of flat spherical shells modelled by equilibrium finite elements are formulated and solved. A new second-order equilibrium finite element developed by the method of Bubnov-Galerkin is suggested....

Using RELAX, SysML and KAOS for Ambient Systems Requirements Modeling
Abstract Ambient Systems are highly adaptive. They modify their behavior at run-time in response to changing environmental conditions. For these systems, Non Functional Requirements (NFR's) play an important role, and one has to identify as early as ...

Curve-Number/Green-Ampt Mixed Procedure for Net Rainfall Estimation: A Case Study of the Mignone Watershed, IT
Abstract A mixed procedure, referred to as CN4GA (Curve Number for Green-Ampt), was recently introduced with the aim of distributing in time the net rainfall volume provided at event scale by the Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number (SCS-CN)...

Abductive and Deductive Approach in Learning from Examples Method for Technological Decisions Making
Abstract One of the fundamental problems in building engineering is to ensure conformance between the planned and the actual course of construction works. What may help solve this problem is a database with examples of performance of similar...

Exploring the factors affecting motorway accident severity in England using the generalised ordered logistic regression model
Abstract Problem The severity of motorway accidents that occurred on the hard shoulder (HS) is higher than for the main carriageway (MC). This paper compares and contrasts the most important factors affecting the severity of HS and ...

On the numerical modeling of granular material flows via the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM)
Abstract The aim of this work is to describe a numerical framework for reliably and robustly simulating the different kinematic conditions exhibited by granular materials while spreading – from a stagnant condition, when the material is at rest, to...
