Field Investigation on the Use of Mobile Phone While Driving
Abstract: While talking through mobile phone, drivers are much less aware of what is happening on the road around them; fail to see road signs, maintain proper lane position and steady speed; react more slowly and take longer to brake. Moreover, drivers are more likely to enter unsafe gaps in traffic, feel more stressed and frustrated, and are more likely to tailgate the vehicle in front. This paper demonstrates field investigation …

Comparative Assessment of Drivers Characteristics at Baghdad Urban and Suburban Area
Abstract: Abstract The importance of road safety demands that the components of safe driving be understood. Variability among people, in terms of gender, age, socio-economic levels, education, health, driving experience, and tradition could have major impacts on the field of vision and the perception reaction time, which seem to be good measures of safe driving. In Baghdad, public efforts have managed to stabilize or decrease accident rates; however, because of the …

Cyclic Loading Over “Stress Behaviour of High Strength Fibre (Steel and Glass) Reinforced Concrete
Abstract: Construction spectrum is growing as it has never been before; there is always something under new construction. It is thus very much important to use updated materials in construction to improve usability, workability and durability, along with the increase in characteristic strengths of material with respect to high rise structures specially. Concrete is one such material obtained from mixing of various materials. Concrete is good at compressive strength but shows …
