this research studies 2x2 MIMO LTE signal transmission from the
main tower eNB and the relay node RN over single mode fiber
using ROF technology and take advantage of the WDM technology,
the results show the ability of ROF to accommodate MIMO
com
munication with high efficiency.
The network has been simulated and analyzed using Optisystem
program, and the results were more than promising.
This paper aims at investigating the effect of organic matter
content on the engineering properties of the soil.
The effect of the organic matter on both the consistency limits and strength have been investigated. The results show that the organic
matter increases both the plasticity and the strength of soil.
Mathematical formula is presented in which the unconfined
compression strength of the soil is related to the organic matter
content. It was concluded that increasing the organic matter
content increases the displacement corresponding to the maximum shear stress. In addition, the effect of the organic matter has been studied and the results show that the organic matter increases the compressibility of the soil.
Stabilizing the soil with cement has been investigated as well. The
results show that adding the cement to the soil improves the
strength of the soil and decreases its swelling potential.
Depending on the organic matter content, a mathematical formula
is presented to determine the required cement ratio to treat the
soil to decrease its swelling potential.
This research aims to study the efficiency of flexural strengthening of RC beams with different lengths of CFRP strips by using (NSM) technique. The study is carried out experimentally on (14) concrete beams; the variables considered are (the length
and number of CFRP strips). This is established by dividing the work into two groups: the first one includes (6) beams strengthened by variable carbon fiber strip lengths and one strip, The second group includes (6) beams strengthened by variable carbon fiber strip lengths and two strips, as well as two control beams. The results indicate that carbon fibers have a noticeable effect on increasing the bearing capacity of (NSM) strengthened beams. The results also show that strengthening the beams by CFRP and not along the length of the beam and in one layer does not contribute to increasing beam strength, but when the number of layers increases, an increase in beam strength is noticed at a rate range (40%-72%).
