Abstract:

In this research paper, a new derivative-free Simpson 1/3-type quadrature scheme has been proposed for the approximation of the Riemann-Stieltjes integral (RSI). The composite form of the proposed scheme on the RSI has been derived using the concept of precision. The theorems concerning basic form, composite form, local and global errors of the new scheme have been proved theoretically. For the trivial case of the integrator in the proposed RS scheme, successful reduction to the corresponding Riemann scheme is proved. The performance of the proposed scheme has been tested by numerical experiments using MATLAB on some test problems of RS integrals from literature against some existing schemes. The computational cost, the order of accuracy and average CPU times (in seconds) of the discussed rules have been computed to demonstrate cost-effectiveness, time-efficiency and rapid convergence of the proposed scheme under similar conditions.

Abstract:

In this paper, we present a comprehensive database of the data tables of some important transportation problems from literature, and experience with the proposition of new initial basic feasible (IBF) solution methods for the transportation problems. The paper contains a comprehensive database of 140 transportation problems, of which 103 are balanced, 25 are unbalanced and 12 are from research papers. The detailed description of the varying-nature test problems is described, and the optimal solutions of the 140 problems have been obtained by using the TORA software with the modified distribution (MODI) method. The algorithms of three methods: North-West-Corner (NWCM), Least cost (LCM) and Vogel’s approximation (VAM) have been used for IBF solutions. The final optimal results are also quoted for the ready reference of researchers and practitioners. The database of problems and their optimal solutions will be a great aid to researchers and practitioners working with the existing and new methods for solving transportation problems. A pioneering investigation of the performance evaluation of NWCM, LCM and VAM has also been conducted as a benchmark for the similar assessment of other existing and forthcoming IBF and /or optimal solution methods for the transportation problems.

Abstract:

This paper presents an assessment of gamma radiation performance, specifically in terms of attenuation energy, of concrete containing coarse aggregate having different physical and chemical properties. Basalt being heavier and somehow having high specific gravity is likely to have a good performance against gamma radiation. Through this paper, the author has made a comparison between the concrete having different coarse aggregates, normal aggregate phase and basaltic aggregate phase by evaluating the attenuation energies of both the phases at the Institute of Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine (IRNUM) Peshawar. Also, the water to cement ratio (W/C) for both the phases was distinguished i.e. 3.5 and 5.7 to make the results more promising and enabling to make the comparison effective. The test was likely to be conducted on Molds having 10 cm by 10 cm cross-section of each W/C ratio with varying thickness of about 2cm and will lead up to 10cm. The detecting device used was a phoenix teletherapy machine operating with a former type ionization chamber having an energy of 1.25 MeV. The source of radiation was Cobalt 60. The results indicated that basalt despite having strong physical properties is insufficient to be used for Gamma shielding. The two materials vary very little, so it is negligible to be used for a specific reason.

Abstract:

Traffic accidents are unavoidable in human life therefore highway safety is one of the most important factors of transportation engineering. After the advent of National highways and freeways, developing nations including Pakistan is facing new dimensions of highway safety challenges, highway safety management demands more attention due to the involvement of high-speed dynamics. This study presents a method by which accident-prone locations commonly termed as Blackspots are been identified. A stretch of 188 KM of National Highway N-55 also known as Indus highway from Peshawar to Lakki Marwat has been selected for the study. Road traffic accident data was only available with local district police in a manual file record (First Investigation Report). Accident data were collected from nine police stations along the selected route for seven years i.e. from 2013 to 2019. After analysis, it was found that most of the accidents occurred due to over speeding and geometric problems. Moreover, it was also found that there are no proper pedestrian crossings. The data was analyzed month and year wise. Fourteen such locations on which five or more fatalities occurred were identified as blackspots.  The blackspots are within the range of 1KM.

Abstract:

In this paper, the initial value problem of Ordinary Differential Equations has been solved by using different Numerical Methods namely Euler’s method, Modified Euler method, and Runge-Kutta method. Here all of the three proposed methods have to be analyzed to determine the accuracy level of each method. By using MATLAB Programming language first we find out the approximate numerical solution of some ordinary differential equations and then to determine the accuracy level of the proposed methods we compare all these solutions with the exact solution. It is observed that numerical solutions are in good agreement with the exact solutions and numerical solutions become more accurate when taken step sizes are very much small. Lastly, the error of each proposed method is determined and represents them graphically which reveals the superiority among all the three methods. We fund that, among the proposed methods Runge-Kutta 4th order method gives the accurate result and minimum amount of error.

Abstract:

Marble sludge powder is produced as a by-product during the cutting and polishing of marble. Similarly, sugarcane bagasse ash is produced during the burning operation of sugarcane bagasse. Improper disposal of these waste materials poses a severe threat to the environment. The objective of this research study was to partially substitute cement with a binary mixture of SBA and MSP to reduce the environmental and health issues by adequately utilizing the waste material in the production of low-cost and eco-friendly concrete. For this purpose, a total of 174 concrete cylinders were tested. Apart from this, XRF and EDX tests were performed to determine the chemical composition of waste. Ordinary Portland cement was replaced with a binary mix of SBA and MSP from 0 to 40% by weight to achieve the synergistic effect. Various tests were performed, including compressive and splitting tensile strength and material tests, i.e. specific gravity, absorption capacity, sieve analysis, dry rodded unit weight, and moisture content. The tested specimens were compared with the control samples. The results showed that the difference between compressive and tensile strength up to 15% replacement is within targeted strength and slump. The optimized sample by partial substitution with a negligible effect on properties of concrete was SB10-MP5 and SB5-MP10. The increase in partial replacement above 15% will lead to a decrease in compressive and tensile strength. The cost per cubic meter of concrete was reduced by 8% as per MRS2019.

Abstract:

The plastic existence in abundance and its low biodegradability affect the environment. In recent years, researchers have tested numerous recycling techniques. However, each has its demerits. One such technique is recycling plastic as aggregates in concrete. It improves the concrete thermal insulation but depreciates its compressive and tensile strength, which is its core property in the construction industry. The objective of this research work is to efficiently utilize the plastic aggregate in concrete without deteriorating its strength with the use of steel fibers. In total eight concrete mix configurations were studied in this research. The result discussion includes compressive strength, split tensile test, and toughness index. The steel fiber used in the concrete mix with recycled plastic as fine aggregates improved the concrete strength. Its effects increase with an increase in % vol replacement of plastic aggregates with fine aggregates from 5 to 20.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to investigate the variation in climatic parameters and possible climate effects in the Hyderabad region. The least-square regression method was used to find a linear change in climatic parameters (Temperature and Precipitation). The maximum, minimum, and mean temperatures; annual, and monsoon precipitations were considered under the study. In the last 100 years, the global temperature has been increased by 0.6 or 0.74 0C. In Hyderabad city, we predicted that the minimum temperature (Tmin), maximum temperature (Tmax), and mean temperature (Tmean) are varied in the range of 0.00490C/year to -0.01330C/year. The variability in the precipitation was observed in the last 30 years. Yearly and monsoon precipitation was decreasing with the rate of 1.24mm/year, and 1.34mm/year. The maximum precipitation occurs in July, August, and September; in the rest of the months, no or little precipitation occurred which may lead to a shortage of fresh water.
