Abstract: A non-linear, layered, finite element model for predicting the time dependent behavior of reinforced concrete slabs under sustained transverse loading is presented. The effects of biaxial creep and shrinkage are accounted for using short form of creep and shrinkage prediction model B3 for structures of medium sensitivity. The layered approach is used to represent the steel reinforcement and discretize the concrete slab through the thickness. The reinforcement steel is represented as a smeared layer of equivalent thickness with uniaxial strength and rigidity properties. Elastic perfect plastic approaches have been employed to model the compressive behavior of the concrete. The yield condition is formulated in terms of the first two-stress invariant. The movement of the subsequent loading surfaces is controlled by the hardening rule, which is extrapolated from the uniaxial stress-strain relationship defined by a parabolic function. concrete crushing is a strain controlled phenomenon. Which is monitored by a fracture surface similar to the yield surface. A smeared fixed crack approach is used to model the behavior of the cracked concrete, coupled with a tensile strength criterion to predict crack initiation. Several examples for which experimental results are available are analyzed, using the proposed model .The comparison showed good agreement.

Abstract: Abstract This study deals with the effect of two methods of compaction (static compaction (S.C.) and dynamic compaction (D.C.)), on the engineering properties of high plasticity clayey soil (CH) selected from Mosul city. Results showed that maximum dry density of soil compacted by static method is higher than that compacted by dynamic method. But the inverse was obtained for optimum moisture content. Unconfined compressive strength, effective shear strength parameters (ć, ǿ), splitting and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) for soil compacted by dynamic method has higher values than that compacted by static method. Swelling pressure and free swell tests gave higher values under static compaction method. But the values of compression index and coefficient of consolidation using dynamic compaction method gave higher values. On the other hand, the results of crumb, slackening and pinhole tests showed that the internal erosion of soil compacted by dynamic method are less than that compacted by static method. From filter paper method and soil water characteristic curves showed that compaction methods had no effect on soil suction. Finally, statistical models between engineering properties for soil compacting by two methods were obtained.

Abstract: Abstract This investigation examines experimentally the behavior and ultimate strength of L-shaped reinforced high strength concrete beams under combined shear, bending and torsion. The experimental program consists of casting and testing (13) high strength concrete beams under bending, shear and torsion. The main parameters are the effect of compressive strength, the eccentricity and transverse to longitudinal reinforcement ratio. An increase in transverse to longitudinal reinforcement ratio by (21.43%) for beams under 80mm eccentricity of loading causes decrease in ultimate resisting torsional moment by (13.19%), and for an eccentricity of 170mm; the decrease in resisting torsional moment is (15.14%). Increasing in eccentricity for torsion of (112.5%) caused a decrease in load carry capacity by (43.33%) if all types of reinforcement remain the same. By using multiple nonlinear stepwise regression analysis, based on data in this research and from other literatures; equations are proposed for predicting shear strength at cracking and ultimate loads and torsional capacity at cracking and ultimate loads. These proposed equations showed good agreement when compared with equations given by Codes of practice like (ACI, Canadian and BS) and showed good relations.. Keywords: Bending, high strength concrete, L-shaped beams, shear, torsion.

Abstract: Abstract As water demand is increasing and the world food problem is becoming more pronounced، world efforts are forwarded towards the optimal usage of water resources، specially in regions where water is scare or irrigation is very costly. Inadequate irrigation is considered one of the methods that increase water usage efficiency and the application of optimization methods is essential in order to increase agriculture production. A mathematical model was developed for optimal allocation of irrigation water under full and inadequate irrigation. The model determines the optimal seasonal allocation of irrigation water between crops. The output of the model are the area and water allocated for each crop under limited and full irrigation، the effects of various management options، as changing the plan of agriculture، type of production function، and value of irrigation water، were studied. The model was run for many percentages of full irrigation ranging from 10% to 100%. The model is considered a good approach for deciding on area and amount of irrigation water which achieves optimal values in irrigation planning projects under limited water resources. Keywords: irrigation optimization, nonlinear programming, limited irrigation water, water allocation for different crops.

Abstract: An attempt is made to study the effect of camber on the behavior (deflection and failure load) of single span portal frames under concentrated load. Two types of cambering were used, the first by cambering both top and bottom surfaces of the beam and the second by cambering the bottom surface only (the top surface is kept leveled) which is more acceptable from point of view of uniformity of super imposed dead load distribution. There is a considerable effectiveness of the camber on the failure load compared with straight beams (without camber). Also, there is effectiveness considering )dead+live( load deflections for cambered beams compared with straight beams. Keyword : Membrane Action, Camber, Concentrated Load, Deflection, Failure.

Abstract: This work aimed to study the effectiveness of liquid asphalt in the enhancement of gypseous soils properties. This enhancement is by reducing the effect of water on gypsum particles and increasing strength parameters. The work included two types of treatments firstly is by mixing technique and the second type is by grouting technique. The testing program included the determination of unconfined compressive strength, shear strength and collapsibility parameters of untreated and treated gypseous soil with different percent of liquid asphalt. The test results showed that the maximum unconfined compressive strength and the shear strength of soil increased to an optimum value and then decreased with increasing liquid asphalt. The study concluded that the mixing technique was better than the injection technique because the mixing technique will cover the particles with a film of asphalt while the injection fills the voids of soil with asphalt. Moreover the results show that the oblique injection gives more strength to the soil than normal injection. Keywords: Gypseous soil, Liquid asphalt, Soil improvement, Grouting, Injection

Abstract: Abstract In this paper we propose a new method which combines the partial cancellation and differencing technique to achieve performance improvement and reduction in complexity, the proposed technique is named Multistage (DP-PIC) Detector. The simulation model for the proposed DP-PIC is implemented in floating and fixed point arithmetic. The simulation results illustrates that a partial cancellation factor of 0.7 and 0.8 in the first and second stage respectively gives a good performance for the proposed technique. A precision of 16-bit is enough to achieve a small performance degradation compared to floating point results. Finally the proposed fixed point DP-PIC is implemented on TMS320C6400 DSP simulator. The implementation results illustrate that 35% complexity reduction can be achieved compared with conventional PIC detection. Keywords: DS-CDMA, PIC, Complexity reduction, performance improvement.

Abstract: In the dual irrigation technology (DIT), irrigation process is divided into two stages. In the first stage saline water is added as a part of irrigation water requirements , then good quality irrigation water is supplied in the second stage to complete irrigation water requirements. Piston flow may accurse in the soil because the time interval between two stages as short as possible , so the water content is greater than field capacity . Piston flow leaches the saline water that used in the firs stage of (DIT) under the root zone depth, so it is minimize the salinity effects of that water. Drainage water of 6 ds/m and Euphrates river water (1ds/m) are used to irrigate corn under furrow irrigation system with (DIT) at Ramady city in Iraq. Advance face in the furrow completes from drainage water , then second stage of (DIT) using river water . The experiment results summarized in the high relative yield (more than 95%) and saving about third quantity of fresh irrigation water. No significant differences in the salinity effects at the upper two thirds of the root zone depth compared with some furrows irrigated by river water only . Salinity effects at the lower third decrease as the distance from the upstream of the furrow increase, logarithmic relation between salinity effect and furrow length is proposed Key words: Dual Irrigation , saline irrigation water , water quality

Abstract: Abstract This paper presents a new, expandable, pipelined linear array architecture designed for transparently tolerating processor failures for real-time DSP applications. The proposed system use twelve TMS320C40 DSP processors ( Processor Modules PMs ) to construct ten stages pipelined system with two spare processors (SPs). However, the system can be expanded to increase the pipeline stages and the performance, and adding more spare processors to increase the dependability and reliability of the system. In Proposed scheme, the system can automatically reconfigure itself in the event of failure in one or two of its DSP processors and the computations continue unhindered without noticeable performance degradation. Each DSP processor communicates with neighboring processors through a high speed communication ports ( commport ). Some of these commports in every processor are used as a bypass links in case of failure of one or two processors. The system uses the forward-task-shift (FTS) mechanism to tolerate the fault by assigning the function of the failed processor to the next fault-free processor.
