Towards a Geotechnical Input-Based Conceptual Cost Estimating Methodology for Highway Projects
Abstract: The trend in the literature reveals a wide range of innovative approaches which have been proposed to improve the accuracy of conceptual estimates. These techniques are usually based on differing analytical approaches. Although these techniques obtain estimates that closely approximate actual costs, the requisite time and resources to gather sufficient data or obtain relevant information during initial project stages may not be possible. The study proposes that for a road …

Treatment of Dyeing Waste Water by Using Garlic Extract as a Natural Coagulant
Abstract: Coagulation is the process of removal of very fine particles by forming bigger flocs in the water. But this process is not much efficient in waste water treatment as in the treatment of drinking water. This is because of adding chemical coagulant for the treatment of waste water. Use of chemicals in treatment of dyeing waste water causes formation of non-biodegradable sludge. To avoid this we made an attempt in …

Review article: Worthwhile Safeguard of Soil in India – A Need for Future Juveniles
Abstract: Soil is a mixture formed by a porous matrix, which consists of air, water and biota and its severe degradation is a major concern that depends on several factors. Soil problems are due to diversity, water problems, distribution and specific vulnerability of soils. They also depend on geography, relief and climate. In India soil conditions are degraded and are even further worsen by human behavior. Soil is a major part …

Technological options for the treatment of pulp and paper waste water
Abstract: Waste-water treatment is becoming even more important in the light of diminishing water resources, increasing industrial, domestic and agriculture water usage and consequently waste-water disposal and its costs along with stricter discharge regulations that have lowered permissible contaminant levels in waste streams. The treatment of waste-water for reuse and disposal is particularly important for water scarce states like Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and other states in India where water availability is highly …

Simulation of Sediment Deposit and Maintenance Requirements for Sani- Abacha Road Culvert, Rivers State, Nigeria
Abstract: Empirical model of sediment yield equation was applied to develop the sediment deposit monitoring equation of the Sani-Abacha road culvert. The culverts were selected based on field observation of continuous overflow, road overtopping and channel contraction in the course of heavy storm due to sediment built up within and inside the culvert barrel. The result of the assessment shows that the way sediment load varies with discharge is consistent and …

Artificial Neural Network Model to Predict Reservoir Storage
Abstract: The rapid growth in population increases water demand thus resulting in scarcity of water which is due to improper management rather than lack of resources. Reservoir is the most important source for surface water. So, reservoir storage plays a crucial role in efficient reservoir management. Artificial neural network (ANN) is capable of simulating reservoir storage capacity. So, in present work cascade forward back propagation and feed forward back propagation network …
