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 ... -
Seismic behaviour of thin/slender concrete walls with monolithic emulation base connections tested on shaking table
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2008-06)Two geometrically identical slender precast concrete walls with monolithic emulation base connections were constructed and tested under biaxial loading using two clover displacement control patterns on shaking table. ... -
Seismic performance of monolithic wall panel subjected to quasi-static lateral cyclic loading
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2008-09)A half-scale of monolithic precast wall panel (4000x1350x125) together with foundation beam (3000x500x465) is designed to emulate the behaviour of a ductile cast-in-place concrete wall and designed accordance to New Zealand ... -
Selecting a design of sustainable inland container ship for Bangladesh based on economical and environmental performances
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-09)A sustainable design of a container ship from alternative options has been selected for inland shipping in Bangladesh. In this selection process commercial attractiveness of these vessels were compared at first by using ... -
Sentiment analysis on Malaysian airlines with BERT
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2022)Sentiment analysis has been a popular research area in Natural Language Processing (NLP), where sentiments expressed through text data including positive, negative and neutral sentiments are analyzed and predicted. It is ... -
Shear design of wide beam ribbeds slabs
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2011-09)A method for the shear design of wide beam ribbed slabs is proposed. The method modifies the current UK code design method for solid slabs by applying a shear area factor which reduces the area of the code critical shear ... -
Shear strength of 160 MPa steel fibre reinforced reactive powder concrete bridge girders without stirrups
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2006-06)The development of ultra-high-strength-high-performance concrete known as the reactive powder concrete (RPC) was originated in the mid 1990’s by the French and now commercialised under the trade name of DUCTAL by ... -
Simulation and optimisation of a SWRO system in cape town, South Africa
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2021)A SWRO system was designed to fulfil 50% of the population water demand in Cape Town, South Africa, which can lead up to 383,353 m3/day in the next 15 years. The total dissolved solid (TDS) within the product (i.e. drinking ... -
Simulation of mathematical model for monorail suspension system under different track conditions
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2018-12)Designing a new monorail suspension system for an existing monorail bogie to accommodate larger cars, locomotives and more passengers is a difficult and complicated problem to solve. This paper introduces a simulation of ... -
Simulation of the distributed rainfall-runoff process
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2004-03)A deterministic model to simulate rainfall runoff from pervious and impervious surfaces is presented. The surface runoff model is based on an established one-dimensional, variable width, kinematics wave approximation to ... -
Soil-root withholding strength for river bank stability
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2016-06)The ability of vegetation to stabilise soils is frequently employed in slope stabilisation projects including riverbank restoration activity. Soil block samples permeated with roots of Bermuda Grass commonly used for ... -
Solidification/stabilisation of soil contaminated with metal: A review
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2008-09)Solidification/stabilisation (S/S) is generically defined as a chemical and physical alteration technique of reducing the mobility as well as solubility of contaminants in wastes in order to convert them into chemically ... -
Standardisation of partial strength connections of flush end-plate connections for Trapezoid Web Profiled steel sections
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2006-06)Connections are usually designed as pinned or rigid although the actual behaviour is known to fall between these two extreme cases. The use of partial strength or semi-rigid connections has been encouraged by codes. Studies ... -
