Abstract

The fast growth of cities and the increase in automobile usage have made important junctions more congested. This study employs the Webster model to design an efficient traffic signal for Araromi intersection in Akure, Nigeria, using the site traffic data. Results of field observations showed that passenger cars formed the dominant vehicle category, while the observed peak hour (7:45-8:45 AM) recorded a passenger car unit (PCU) of 6505 and a peak flow rate of 6920 pcu/hr. The critical flow ratio of 0.736 confirms that the intersection remains within capacity and the geometry is sufficient. The peak hour factor of 0.94 also indicates that a reliable and efficient signal control system can be effectively implemented at the intersection. The west approach contributed 41% of the total traffic, justifying its longer green interval, followed by the east (35%) and north (24%) approaches. The optimized signal design resulted in a cycle length of 110 seconds. Within this cycle, phases 1, 2, and 3 received 35, 32, and 28 seconds of effective green time, respectively, along with 4 seconds yellow interval for each phase. The signal achieved Level of Service (LOS) C on all approaches, with control delays of 29.94, 31.95, and 32.55 secs/veh, and a volume-to-capacity ratio below 1, indicating stable operations within capacity. This validates the efficiency of the Webster-based signal design and possible improvements in the performance of the intersection when implemented in pretimed or vehicle actuated traffic control systems. These findings provide a practical template for similar urban intersections in the implementation of efficient traffic signals.

Abstract

Sinabang Ferry Port serves as a vital transportation hub connecting Simeulue Island with the mainland Sumatra, especially in serving remote and underdeveloped areas. As passenger traffic increases, evaluating service quality becomes crucial to support port management improvements and increase user satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the level of service at Sinabang Ferry Port based on user satisfaction and identify service attributes that need to be prioritized for quality improvement. The data were analyzed using the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method with five dimensions of service quality, namely tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The number of respondents was set at 156 people using the Slovin formula based on the average weekly number of passengers. The results showed that the level of user satisfaction with Sinabang Ferry Port services obtained an average level of suitability (LoS) score of 85,13%, indicating that user may dissatisfaction with port services and the need for improvements. The attributes that need to be prioritized (Quadrant I) include facilities for people with disabilities, pregnant women, and the elderly, information about terminal layout, departures and arrivals, and the availability of security equipment, such as CCTV. Furthermore, the tangibles, reliability, and assurance dimensions require significant attention to enhance service quality. These results provide essential insights for port authorities in formulating targeted and sustainable strategies to strengthen ferry service management and support regional accessibility.

Abstract

Rapid urbanization in Bangladesh has led to an increasing demand for multi-storey buildings, necessitating robust structural design to resist lateral loads from both earthquakes and wind. This study analyzes the seismic and wind load performance of G+8 reinforced concrete (RC) building located in four different seismic zones of Bangladesh, using ETABS 2017 in compliance with the Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) 2020. The structure was evaluated under both seismic (EQX, EQY) and wind (WX, WY) loads. The structural analysis revealed that wind loads (WX and WY) consistently govern the lateral design for this structure, as evidenced by storey shear (peaking at 45 Kip at the base in Zone 4 and storey displacement (WX peaking at 8 in) and drift (WX peaking at 0.09 in) being substantially higher than seismic demands. Although base shear linearly increased almost threefold from Zone 1 (33.28 Kip) to Zone 4 (99.84 Kip) due to rising seismic zone coefficients, the wind forces dominate the serviceability checks. Maximum storey displacement and drift were concentrated in Zones 3 and 4, with the latter exhibiting the highest drift (0.065 in WX) and extreme torsional irregularity, peaking at 7.82 in WX. The analysis confirms that both seismic and wind effects significantly influence building performance, with seismic forces dominating in higher zones and wind-induced displacements being critical in specific directions. This underscores the importance of region-specific design considerations to ensure structural safety and serviceability in Bangladesh’s diverse seismic landscape.

Abstract

The Concentrically Braced Frame System (CBFs) is one of the structural systems that can withstand earthquake loads. In CBFs, the braces are an essential component to dissipate seismic energy. This research aims to find an alternative to enhance seismic capability by comparing two different sections of CBF braces: the IWF section (BU1) and the double-channel sections (BU2). Both sections have equal sectional areas, but the double-channel sections have higher cross-sectional inertia. The two brace models were then loaded by Random Variable Amplitude Loadings (RVAL). The results showed that the BU1 demonstrated better seismic capability in terms of strength, stiffness, and dissipated energy than the BU2. Moreover, to determine the effect of amplitude variability on the performance of the Single IWF and Double-channel bracing, the influence of the RVAL was analyzed, and it was revealed that increasing and decreasing displacement amplitude tend to cause increasing and decreasing strength in a polynomial trend. Meanwhile, escalating and reducing displacement amplitude leads to increasing and decreasing strength in the power trend.

Abstract

The proliferation of railway systems in urban areas has heightened concerns regarding ground-borne vibrations and their impact on adjacent structures. This study presents a comprehensive numerical framework for predicting building vibrations induced by freight train traffic, addressing a gap in vehicle-specific analyses. A coupled modeling approach is employed, integrating multi-body dynamics and finite element methods. The vehicle-track interaction for a 60-ton freight wagon is simulated using the multi-body dynamics software SIMPACK to obtain the dynamic axle loads. These loads are then applied to a detailed 3D finite element model, developed in ANSYS, that captures the track-soil-building interaction, including nonlinear contact at the foundation-soil interface. The model is used to evaluate the Vibration Acceleration Level (VAL) within a building and to conduct a sensitivity analysis on key parameters. The results indicate that the vibration level decreases significantly with increasing distance from the railway, with an attenuation rate consistent with empirical laws for surface waves. A parameter study revealed that a ±20% variation in soil shear wave velocity can alter predicted VAL by up to 5 dB. At a distance of 20 m, the predicted VAL was found to satisfy standard building vibration limits for the modeled scenario. Furthermore, the vibration response was non-uniform within the building and exhibited a complex, non-monotonic relationship with train speed, indicative of critical speed effects.

Abstract

Air pollution is a significant environmental issue that poses serious health risks, particularly in industrial areas. This study focuses on evaluating the spatial distribution of air pollutants and their impact on public health in the industrial areas of Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. This study examines concentrations of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), and carbon monoxide (CO) over a 2021, 2022, and 2023. Utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, the study maps the spatial distribution of the health risk in industrial are and correlates them with air pollutants data obtained from Department of Environmental, Malaysia (DOE). The trend of air quality in Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya reveals variation in pollutants concentrations, influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors, with Shah Alam generally exhibiting higher level of SO2, NO2 and O3, while Petaling Jaya shows elevated CO levels. The differences between Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya’s air quality likely from varying meteorological factors, such as wind patterns, temperature, and humidity, which can influence the dispersion and concentration of pollutants. This underscores the critical need for targeted air quality management strategies to mitigate health risk associated with industrial pollution and urbanization in these regions.
