Properties of Concretes with Natural Aggregate Improved by RCA Addition
Abstract We can observe the growing tendency of usage of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). Changes in waste materials management rules will result in necessity of more common reutilization of materials from demolished concrete structures. Thus new...

Bridging Non-functional Requirements and IT Service Design
Abstract A fundamental demand for IT service providers is to obtain design skills for non-functional requirements (NFRs) of a target IT enabled service system. The design task should identify a number of NFR determinants, such as the architecture of ...

Evidence-based and data-driven road safety management
Abstract Over the past decades, road safety in highly-motorised countries has made significant progress. Although we have a fair understanding of the reasons for this progress, we don't have conclusive evidence for this. A new generation of road...

Revisiting the Bjerrum's correction factor: Use of the liquidity index for assessing the effect of soil plasticity on undrained shear strength
Abstract The undrained shear strength (s u) of fine-grained soils that can be measured in situ and in laboratory is one of the key geotechnical parameters. The unconfined compression test (UCT) is widely used in laboratory to...

Cascade Dual Frequency Smoothing for Local Area Augmentation System
Abstract Both temporal and spatial gradients of ionosphere errors have adverse effects upon local area augmentation system (LAAS). This article proposes a cascade dual frequency smoothing (CDFS) method to overcome this problem. One dual frequency...

Large Eddy Simulation of Fire Smoke Re-circulation in Urban Street Canyons of Different Aspect Ratios
Abstract Critical re-circulation phenomenon happens when a fire occurs in an urban street canyon, in which the uprising smoke plume is re- circulated back into the base of the street canyon by the wind-induced flow. This happens when the inertia of...
