        Alternative wall‑to‑slab connection systems in reinforced concrete structures 

        Gerber, Johann; Van Zijl, Gideon (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2017-09)
        ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In many reinforced concrete structures the walls precede the construction of the connecting floors. A system is, therefore, required to connect the floors to the already cast walls. There are many different ...

        Assessment of the behaviour factor for the seismic design of reinforced concrete structural walls according to SANS 10160 : part 4 

        Le Roux, Rudolf; Wium, Jan (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2012-04)
        Reinforced concrete structures, designed according to proper capacity design guidelines, can deform inelastically without loss of strength. Therefore, such structures need not be designed for full elastic seismic demand, ...

        Baseline adjustment methodology in a shared water savings contract under serious drought conditions 

        Jacobs, H. E.; Du Plessis, J. L.; Nel, Nicole; Gugushe, S.; Levin, S. (Water Research Commission, 2020-01)
        ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Baselines are often employed in shared water saving contracts for estimating water savings after some type of intervention by the water service company. An adjustment to the baseline may become necessary ...

        Capacity self-assessment as a catalyst for improved municipal service delivery 

        Van Baalen, S. M.; Schutte, C. S. L.; Von Leipzig, K. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2015-03)
        ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research paper illustrates that accurate and truthful capacity assessments are a fundamental phase of any capacity building process, and that capacity assessments play a fundamental role in reaching ...

        A case for the adoption of decentralised reinforcement learning for the control of traffic flow on South African highways 

        Schmidt-Dumont, T.; Van Vuuren, J. H. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2019)
        ENGLISH ABSTRACT: As an alternative to capacity expansion, various dynamic highway traffic control measures have been introduced. Ramp metering and variable speed limits are often considered to be effective dynamic highway ...

        Catchment parameter analysis in flood hydrology using GIS applications 

        Gericke, O. J.; Du Plessis, J. A. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2012-10)
        ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has permeated almost every field in the engineering, natural and social sciences, offering accurate, efficient, reproducible methods for collecting, ...

        Jacobs, Heinz E. (AOSIS OpenJournals, 2008-12)
        ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Guidelines for residential average annual water demand (AADD) based on property size were introduced to the South African Civil Engineering fraternity in about 1960, with the most recent publication of ...

        A comparison of technical and practical aspects of Eurocode 3-1-1 and SANS 10162-1 hot-rolled steelwork design codes 

        Walls, R. S.; Viljoen, C. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2016)
        In South Africa engineers are starting to use the Eurocode guidelines for steelwork design, and it is important to understand the implications and differences in results that are obtained when applying the different codes. ...
