Effect of grinding on workability and strength of Penang rice husk ash blended concrete grade 30
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2015-07)The practice of replacing with conditioned waste materials in construction is well known for conservation of natural resources. Ecological was damaged due to quarrying caused depletion of natural resources (limestone, iron ... -
Effect of interphase forces on two-phase liquid: Liquid flow in horizontal pipe
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2010-06)A two-fluid model (Eulerian-Elurian model) is used to simulate dispersed two-phase immiscible liquids (oil-water) in a horizontal pipe. Effect of interphase forces (drag, lift and turbulent dispersion) is discussed. In the ... -
Effect of intra planar differential settlement analysis of boiler supporting structure - A case study
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2007-06)In boiler supporting structure, heavy loads are transferred to the ground through several columns embedded in reinforced concrete foundation. The foundation gets settled due to various factors such as loads acting on the ... -
Effect of material properties on ductility of reinforced concrete beams
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2006-09)Reinforced concrete (RC) is one of the most important building materials and is widely used in civil engineering structures. The constituents of reinforced concrete such as concrete and steel are very complex due to their ... -
Effect of Palm Oil Fiber (POF) to strength properties and fracture energy of green concrete
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2018-06)The lack of research on concrete which utilizes Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA), Rice Husk Ash (RHA), Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) and Palm Oil Fiber (POF) simultaneously in concrete was globally observed. To meet this gap, ... -
Effect of ship size, forward speed and wave direction on relative wave height of container ships in rough seas
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2009-09)This paper deals with the numerical calculations of relative wave height of ships in the rough seas. Linear potential theory has been applied for describing fluid motion and 3-D sink-source technique has been used to ... -
Effect of sonication for in-situ stainless steel leaf filtration
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2006-03)The application of ultrasound wave fields in the filtration and separation technology has been identified as a new and clean technology and as an alternative to the classical cleaning processes. Fouling phenomena is a ... -
