ANN-based critical review of the effective moment of inertia of RC beams
Published in: Emergent Materials
Jun 01, 2023
This paper presents an artificial neural network (ANN)–based critical review of the ACI 318 Code formula for calculating the effective moment of inertia (Ie) of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The value of Ie varies along the span length from a gross cross-sectional moment of inertia (Ig) for uncracked sections to a cracked cross-sectional moment of inertia (Icr) for cracked sections. Branson’s expression for Ie was adopted by the ACI 318 Code until 2019 when a new equation for Ie was introduce...

Wildfires are common disasters that have long-lasting climate effects and serious ecological, social, and economic effects due to climate change. Since Earth observation (EO) satellites were launched into space, remote sensing (RS) has become a more efficient technique that can be used in agriculture, environmental protection, geological exploration, and wildfires. The increasing number of EO satellites orbiting the earth provides huge amounts of data, such as Sentinel-2 with its Multi Spectral...

COMPARATIVE AND ANALYTICAL STUDY OF THE COMPATIBILITY OF WITNESS TESTIMONY THROUGH VIDEOCONFERENCES WITH GOOD GOVERNANCE IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS IN THE UAE AND JORDAN
Published in: Lawyer QuarterlyVolume 13, Issue 1, Pages 1 - 172023
Mar 10, 2023
The general public demand for openness in the conduct of investigative actions and trial participants’ work is successfully satisfied with the introduction of new technologies that contribute to the establishment of objective disclosure of certain offenses. This article discusses the compatibility of admitting witness testimony through videoconferences with the concept of governance in judicial proceedings, comparing the approaches of the UAE and Jordanian legal systems, with the ultimate purpo...
