Abstract: The rapid urbanization process in Bangladesh possesses enormous challenges to meet the growing demand for safe and sustainable mobility in the major cities, Dhaka megacity in particular. Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh is one of the fastest growing megacities has approximately 20 million population which generates nearly 40 million trips daily. The greatest challenge thus for transportation professionals is to develop a system for urban transport that meets the basic mobility need for all urban dwellers at desirable safety and avoiding the unacceptable level of congestion and.....

Abstract: This study report on the Structural behavour of Model Sandcrete Blockwalls Under Uniaxial Compressive Load. Understanding the structural response of blockwalls under uniaxial compressive load is crucial for designing safe and efficient masonry structures. The structural response of blockwalls under uniaxial compressive load, namely the stress-deformation characteristics and failure process of sandcrete blockwalls, appears to be a substantial study gap, even though masonry constructions have been extensively covered in technical literature. A direct model.....

Abstract: This study focuses on the observation of aerodynamic characteristics of a biconvex airfoil at high Mach number flow or supersonic flow. To understand the influence of supersonic flow on the aerodynamic characteristics of a biconvex airfoil numerical simulation was done using ANSYS Fluent. For the simulation purpose a two-dimensional, turbulent, steady flow is considered. The simulation was done with appropriate flow domain and boundary conditions. A C-type flow domain is considered. SST k-ω viscous model is used to predict the flow turbulence. The simulation....

Abstract: The construction of ideological and political education (IPE) in curriculum has been explored since 2014 in China and has achieved significant results to date. The development direction of IPE in curriculum has evolved from the initial exploration and integration of ideological and political (IP) elements to the construction of a teaching system for IPE in courses. This study takes the course of Refrigeration Technology for Air Conditioning in the Building Environment and Energy Engineering (BEEE) major as an example, proposing a comprehensive practical teaching system.....

Abstract: In this project, the Effects of Salt Water on the Mechanical Properties of Concrete was determined. For Compressive strength test, total number of concrete cubes cast was seventy two, that is, thirty six cubes using salt water and thirty six cubes using fresh water. Similarly, total number of beams cast for flexural strength test was the same as compressive strength test. Also, total numbers of concrete cylindrical cubes cast for Split tensile strength were the same too. Three mix ratios used were (1:1.51:3.2), water cement ratio (0.47), (1:2.06:4), water cement ratio (0.58), and (1:3.3:5.3), water cement ratio (0.78) respectively. The concrete cubes, beams and cylinders.....
