A review on concrete hollow block walls: materials and mechanical properties
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2022)Concrete hollow blocks are commonly used in building construction, particularly for multi-story buildings, factories, and residential structures. Hollow blocks are more practical because of their lightweight, and the most ... -
A review on the design criteria of biological aerated filter for COD, ammonia and manganese removal in drinking water treatment
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2009-12)The design criteria of biological aerated filter (BAF) were reviewed in order to design an effective process for organic and inorganic contaminants removal in drinking water, particularly, COD and ammonia removal. The ... -
Rheological properties of SS316l MIM feedstock prepared with different particle sizes and powder loadings
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2009-06)Rheological study has been performed experimentally to evaluate the influence of different particle sizes and powder loadings to the rheological properties of SS316L MIM feedstock. The effects of different particle size, ... -
Rice irrigation scheduling incorporating stochastic rainfall
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2004-09)An irrigation-scheduling program has been developed to increase irrigation efficiency in a large-scale rice irrigation project in Malaysia. The study focused on predicting daily irrigation deliveries for the main season ... -
Role of senior management in TQM implementation in Malaysian small and medium enterprises
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2009-09)During the last two decades, quality had become a very important issue in many large organisations for both industrial and service sectors. They regard quality as a formidable weapon in addressing business competition and ... -
Runoff quality index for area under maize cultivation
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2010-12)Land development activities contribute to water quality impairment. The resulting runoff from rainfall from different land use areas carries a wide range of pollutants that find their ways to the surface and ground waters. ... -
Screening alternative chemical routes based on inherent chemical process properties data: Methyl methacrylate case study
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2009-12)In 1988 a campaign called Responsible Care was initiated as a response to the adverse publicity of the Bhopal disaster. The initiative commits chemical industries to improve safety, health, and environmental (SHE) performance. ... -
Seberang Perai rice scheme irrigation water quality assessment
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2010-12)Rivers are the main sources of water for agricultural purposes in Malaysia. The Seberang Perai Rice Irrigation Scheme in the state of Penang is one of the eight main rice growing areas in Malaysia. The scheme consists of ... -
Sediment model for natural and man-made channels using general regression neural network
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2008-09)This paper presents a new sediment transport model using general regression neural network (GRNN) that are applicable for both natural and man-made channels. GRNN is a supervised network that trains quickly sparse data ... -
Seeking the code of the ground
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2016-06)This paper explores three topics that constantly challenge geotechnical engineers: deformation, water and safety. More specifically, these topics involve understanding and predicting deformation, designing safely when water ... -
