The evaluation of the capacity of signalized intersections is one of the most important parameter used in the planning, design, operation and management of urban street networks. The calculation of capacity depends on the estimation of the saturation flow of the signalized intersections. The highway Capacity Manual (HCM 2010) is used to estimate and analyze the saturation flow. This method is widely used in many countries around the world, including Syria. It reflects the local conditions in the United States of America; therefore it may not be suitable for use in our local conditions. This study includes estimation of the field saturation flow depending on the headways between the vehicles in the queues, and comparing the field results of the saturation flow with the values resulting from using the HCM. The study was conducted on three intersections in the Tartous city. The analysis was based on data collection using video. The final results confirmed that there is a clear difference between the field measurement of the saturation flow and computation value, Which confirms that it cannot be used for our local conditions.

Evaluation of present and future traffic situation is carried out for estimating the level of service through a lot of traffic indicators (such as Saturation Flow, capacity, delay and travel time), but all these indicators are based primarily on the measurement of Passenger Car Unit (PCU) .This paper analyzes the impacts of four different types of vehicles on the capacity of signalized intersections. Data was collected at five intersections in Damascus city, and estimates of mean headways associated with four different types of vehicles, as well as passenger cars. Using the estimated headways, Passenger Car Equivalents (PCEs) were calculated, and these suggest that the impacts of these types should be given special consideration when analyzing the capacity of signalized intersections.
Low frequency shadows is one of hydrocarbons indicators. It can be detected by means of a time-frequency decomposition which can provide higher frequency resolution at lower frequencies and higher time resolution at higher frequencies. This is des irable for analyzing seismic data, because the hydrocarbons in reservoir are diagnostic at lower frequencies. we have carried out such analyses with post-stack data sets on Fahda field which is located in Aleppo uplift, it contains oil. Adding a frequency axis to a 2D seismic section makes the data 3D axis. The comparison of the single frequency sections from such 3D volume can be utilized to detect low frequency shadows. A preferentially illuminated single frequency section at lower frequencies from Fahda field, shows high amplitude low frequency anomalies beneath oil zones. These anomalies disappear at higher frequencies.
This research focuses on optimising the traffic control at ( Al- TARBYA) signalised intersection in Homs city to improve its capacity and the Level Of Service (LOS). The importance of this research comes from analysing the movement of vehicles, p edestrians, the intersection geometry, signal phasing plan on the intersection, and referring to some problems affects the intersection in order to get the best improvement to traffic movement at the aforementioned intersection.
The laws and regulations of urban basic tools affecting the achievement and sustainability of development objectives, master plans; what imposes controls and standards, regulating urban resource product material, amount beauty, and determine the le vel of urbanization urban communities;, which has become today suffer from multiple problems, it is clear from palaces legislation in adjust the urban growth, and meet the requirements of sustainability. Hence the importance of addressing legislation Urban, through trends posed by master plans updated, a process necessary to create the space Urban in a new window, through the control and processing components material in the context of environmental appropriately; which drew Study legislation Urban current stand on the nature of the practice and application in the city of Damascus, through a comprehensive review of the implementation of Master Plan ratified in 1968, and the trends that put Master Plan updated in 2012, following the so methodologies multiple, to take advantage of them to know dilemmas and evaluation, and identify trends legislative that can be adopted as suggestions for the development of legislation Urban within standards modern international, take factors: social, cultural, environmental, functional, and aesthetic consideration, at the level of legislation itself or at the group level Bastdrack shortcomings, then propose integrated legislation unified comprehensive urban development and urban renewal, increases the speed of development, access to material gains greater and a more equitable distribution and achieve sustainable communities and cities.
Bridges are important and vital structures that provide communication between different regions. Due to their importance, their design has had a great attention throughout the world, as evidenced by the continuous development of seismic design code s such as AASHTO, which now adopts the performance-based design, and requires through a set of requirements and criteria that the bridge performance under the design earthquake is at life safety (LS) level and thus ensures that it does not collapse. Since most of the local bridges were built at periods where these criteria were not adopted, it is important to verify their performance and that they meet these criteria. In this paper, the seismic performance of an existing bridge, which represents a model for a wide range of local multi-span simply supported bridges, was evaluated by developing a 3D model of the bridge using SAP2000V19.1 and applying the nonlinear static analysis. The results of analysis have been used to verify that the bridge meets the AASHTO seismic requirements, which include the check of the P-Δ requirement, displacement demand/ capacity, members (columns) ductility, as well as the check of the shear demand/capacity of the columns. The results showed that the performance of the studied bridge under the seismic intensities adopted in the Syrian code achives the acceptable level which is life safity (LS), but it exceeds this level under high seismic intensity. The research also showed that there is compatibility between the results of nonlinear static analysis and AASHTO requirements.
