NEW GEOMETRICAL COMPACTNESS MEASURES FOR ZONES DESIGN

New geometrical compactness measures for zones design

The design of compact zones read more has been studied because of its influence in the creation of zones with regular forms, which are easier to analyze, to investigate or to administer.This paper propose a new method to measure compactness,by means of the transformation of the original geographical spaces, into figures formed with square cells, wh

Skid Resistance of nano silica modified roller compacted rubbercrete for pavement applications: Experimental methods and response surface methodology

Roller compacted concrete (RCC) pavement usage is limited to low-speed roads due to its low skid resistance, caused by the smooth surface texture that makes it unsuitable for use in high-speed traffic pavements.If used in high-speed roadways will lead to increased skid related accidents.In this study, crumb rubber was used as partially replaced wit
