    Abstract: Based on the concrete test of foundation pile and the heat transfer theory between pile and soil, the heat transfer rule of pile and soil in ice-rich tundra is studied. The results show that the heat flow of foundation pile can be divided into vertical and horizontal heat flows. The vertical heat flow mainly occurs at the top of the pile and reache... Show More

    Abstract: The study aims to investigate and test the behavior of steel fiber reinforcement concrete material at different dosage of fibers in concrete bridge decks. Concrete is a brittle material therefore the tensile resistance of concrete is low. Steel fiber reinforcement concrete material is a developed material that has been proposed to improve the tensi...

    Abstract: Drinking water is a basic need for survival and good health of human beings as well as for any form of life on earth. In the absence of potable water, there is a high risk of transmission of serious diseases among people, like diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, and typhoid. Despite significant progress on community water schemes, worldwide still 2.2 bil... Show More

    Abstract: To establish the effect of climate variability on annual discharge in Upper Njoro Catchment, hybrid models were developed by coupling Soil and Water Assessment Tool and Artificial Neural Networks. Daily surface runoff, lateral flow, and groundwater flow were first simulated with SWAT for the period (1978-1987) using climate variables from Egerton U... Show More
