Introduction

System of road network is needed for any developed country and it is a vital part for infrastructure development.
Main subjects of this study are pavement defects such as alligator cracking, bleedings and potholes. Such pavement distress as potholes and alligator cracking cause serious negative effects and decrease the lifespan of pavement. Additionally, the safety on road is questioned due to bleedings of pavement since the friction between car and pavement significantly decreases, meaning that the braking path increases. This study is concentrated on studying ...

Pavement distresses are distortions in the pavement surface and the subgrade either due to poor design or external factors. Distresses shorten the lifespan of a pavement and pose a danger to the road users or causes discomfort. This is a paper on the different types of road distresses, causes, and the mitigation measures which can be taken to remedy the distresses.

Rutting

Rutting is the accumulation of slow permanent deformation due to continuous densification of pavement layers caused by the shear displacement of the subgrade. Shearing causes uplifting on the sides of the rut. Rutting occurs along the tracks of heavy vehicles on a ...

Normally, oxygen is found in gas form. However, this gas can be separated from other components of air through distillation, and then cooled into liquid oxygen. In its liquid form, oxygen can be used to propel rockets as they are launched into space. Liquid oxygen can also be used in making explosives. However, liquid oxygen is a very volatile substance hence; making it dangerous to make explosives. When liquid oxygen comes into contact with an asphalt pavement, there are likely to be hazardous impacts. The reaction usually causes fire, which is followed by an explosion.
In its liquid form, ...

More often than not you would see several greenway pavements in several parks, ...

Final Project

Kurt Wenner has for as long time been my favorite artist and model figure as far as my study and career in artist is concerned. He is known globally for his unmistakable skills in painting and has made two inventions in the artistic field. He has a master in arts and architectural designing and has specialized as both sculptor, ceramic and muralist artist. In addition to his architectural work Wenner also develop seminars, educational programs, workshops and corporate services. His architectural work was inspired by anamorphism, which is a technic that creates an illusion of height using frescoed ceilings.

Every summer a lot of dog owners leave their pets in the hot car without realizing the real dangers for a dog and how fast the temperature inside can actually rise. Besides, well-behaved people cannot just open the unfamiliar car forcibly in order to save a pet without facing any charges in many states.
It is a fact that a car may turn into the terrible burning hot oven in a very short period of time, even if it does not feel that so warm outside. For example, when it is a 78-degree day outside, the actual temperature inside of the parked car can rise ...

Someone must turn the hourglass over!

For somehow the grains of sand gently slide
through the tiny space.

Someone must watch the grains of sand.

And someone must see the gap that remains
As the young sand drops and nothingness remains
Until the glass is turned over once more;
Till life and love begin once more.
The old grains of sand, now newly replaced,
Can rest in peace, dream and hope
That someone is still turning the hourglass.

This image depicts a stream of people walking along a pavement in front of an imposing building. Despite the simplicity of the photograph, it still manages to create interest for the viewer.

This picture depicts a group of people in 40s dress walking in front of a building. The people only take up the bottom quarter of the frame; the remainder of it comprises the imposing building.

When first looking at the picture, the eye is immediately drawn to the people walking along the pavement. This is probably because the people are in silhouette and are against the very light background of the ...

A short synopsis: title, main characters, general plot

The Red-Headed League relates the case of the red-headed pawnbroker Wilson, who became a client of Sherlock Holmes after a chain of bizarre events occurred to him, leaving him baffled. The assistant of Mr. Wilson, Vincent Spaulding, who spends a lot of time in the cellar of his pawn shop, told him about the job advertisement that was hiring only males with red hair. The job was easy and well-paid and Mr. Wilson easily landed the job, as the color of hair satisfied the interviewer from the Red-Headed League. Mr. Wilson had to work only four hours a day ...

‘Richard Cory’ by Edwin Arlington Robinson is a simple poem about Cory which conveys the idea that money cannot buy happiness. It also throws light on misleading outward appearances of people which can easily make us draw wrong conclusions about situations. The poem relates the story of Richard Cory, who was a very wealthy man. He lived the life of a king: rich, elegant, and graceful. Whenever Cory passed by pavement dwellers, he appeared to be godly to those poor people who had seen nothing more than misery in their lives. They could not even earn their daily bread ...

Everyday, human activities involve the use of different media of communication, including images. People come across different images on a daily basis but rarely take the time to reflect on their real meanings. Advertisements are among the most common types of images that we come across quite often. Solomon described advertisements to be a way of communicating the various issues affecting the society (60). Although the main aim of advertisements is to market certain products or services, all advertisements explain a specific issue affecting the society. This paper involves a visual rhetoric of two images that communicate issues of ...

Objective

Fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) have demonstrated suitability for construction projects due to their strength and durability, while weighing very little. The attributes of FRPs were examined as well as, their applicability in hot, desert temperatures for road barriers and other road safety units.

Background – Composite Materials

Strength and stiffness are the main mechanical properties fibres add to composite materials. The fibres must have uniform diameter, similar strength between each fibre, and very large length-to-diameter ratio. Crystals within the fibre that are aligned with fibre length create high tensile strength. Fibres need to have air space and fibre packing needs to be random ...

Question 1

Hot-Mix Asphalt Concrete (HMAC) is an energy intensive civil engineering material. According to the Environmental Life-Cycle Assessment studies done on the production of the Hot-Mix Asphalt shows that the process of mixing asphalt and drying of aggregates consumes more energy than the energy required in the extraction of crude oil and bitumen distillation. This aspect is unsustainable since the energy is primarily obtained from fossil fuels (70 to 80% of natural gas is used to produce Asphalt) which are non-renewable energy sources. One way of mediating this shortcoming is to obtain the energy from renewable sources such as solar, ...

A construction zone basically refers to an area where road construction is ongoing. Drivers are expected to drive slower in these areas owing to unique features that are usually in a construction zone which may not be the case in other areas. There is a distinct process that is used in determining whether a certain area on a road is a construction zone for the purposes of traffic law in Canada. An area will be designated as a construction zone if there is any construction, reconstruction, or the maintenance of physical structure of the roadway or highway.
There must be a warning of the work ...

Analysis of the sidewalk symbol in the story
Jose Armas’ “El Tonto del Barrio” portrays the situation of a touched man named Romero Estrado – or, more popularly known as “El Cotoro” in Golden Heights Centro because he whistles and sings while he sweeps the sidewalks. At the heart of the story is a compelling comparison between the protagonist, Romero, and the son of a barber, Seferino, whose sense of care conflicts with the former’s special disability. Integrated into the story’s plot is Romero’s sudden change of behavior from ‘good’ to ‘bad’ and then ‘bad’ to ‘good’ when Seferino ...
