An overview on the rheology of recycled aggregate concrete with the influence of chemical admixtures
Abstract: : Concrete is one of the most widely used construction material because of its property to be moulded into any kind of structure and shape due to its fluidity at early stages. The fresh properties of concrete can be characterized by its flow behaviour. Rheology is the scientific description of flow properties. Super-plasticizers and air-entrainers are some of the most used chemical admixtures that affect the rheological parameters of fresh …

Assessment of Pedestrian Walking Characteristics at Erbil CBD
Abstract: To enable and encourage walking, understanding of the characteristics of pedestrian movements is vital. The restrictions on vehicular movement, and scarcity of parking lots had changed the whole traffic movement to the unserviceable condition. Therefore, walking is considered as the most efficient mode of transportation at Erbil CBD area. In developing countries like Iraq, however, the recognition of the importance of pedestrian walking studies is still infancy; the published data …
