In recent years, the shortage and value of land in terms of cost and asset has increased the need to use land effectively and efficiently. This is more significant in High-Rise multi story buildings where small unusable dimension from each floor will accumulate and add up to huge loss of usable...

Genale – Dawa river basin is one of the twelve river basins in Ethiopia with catchment arearnof 74,010 Km2 and has the third largest surface area (about 170,000km2) after Wabishebelernand Abay River basins. Genale-Dawa river basin has an estimated hydropower potential ofrn9,300 GWh/year and...
There is a significant variation in seismic zoning adopted in Ethiopia for urban areas between the seismic building code (EBCS-8:1995) and those reported in other research publications. Adopting a conservative value is, therefore, crucial for particularly in places such as Ethiopia where quality...
Understanding hydrological characteristics of watersheds in Ethiopia highlands have significance importance for the water based development of the country. The Didesa sub basin, which is one of the major sub basins in Abay river basin, has not well studied as compare with the northern sub basins of...
The mitigation of the dynamic response of buildings and structures to earthquakes is onernof the fundamental aims within the design of vibration control devices. In this sense, TunedrnMass Damper (TMD) devices are generally conceived as useful and efficient means forrnthe control of the dynamic...
Planning and designing of bridges is part art and part compromise, the most significantrnaspect of structural engineering. One of the initial choices the designer should make is tornselect the most appropriate bridge type for the site. While this choice is not always straightrnforward, selecting...
Migration is a selective process which encourages certain section of the community to involve morern'than the others, Gender is known to be one of the se lective criteria of migration for a long time.rnMigration streams that are predominantly male or female have implications for the organization...
The main intention of this study is identifying the causes of hydraulic failure of Zana Micro-rnEmbankment dam with emphasize on seepage. The selected area is found in Amhara Nationalrnregional state, North Gonder zone, East Belesa woreda. The dam is located on Zana River,rntributary of the Tekeze...
Nowadays, steel-concrete composite construction is used to meet performance andrnfunctional requirements of mid to high-rise structures as well as large span structures.rnThese structures acquire the structural and constructional advantages of both thernconcrete and steel. Among composite members...
In the world concerning dam construction the big problem and issue are sedimentation of reservoir because it consumes the reservoir volume which is designed to carry water and requires high amount of cost to handle from this problems.rnThe Gefersa reservoir which is used as the main water supply of...
Bridges are one part of the Road Infrastructures which needs care during design stages,rnamong which include analysis. The most common Bridge superstructures forms widely usedrnare RC T- and Box Girder types. To analyze such forms the most widely used method ofrnanalysis is Approximate Method based...
The Ethiopian government has conducted Integrated Water Resource Development Master Plan for the Blue Nile basin in 1998. The master plan has identified various irrigation and hydropower developments in the Sub basin. Since then, few projects have been implemented and some are under construction...
Shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams is a major area of research for more than 100 years. However, a single globally accepted theory like the flexure theory is not yet developed due to involvement of number of parameters. Aggregate size and type has not been given emphasis as one of the...
Water is one of the limiting factors for development in the Wabi Shebelle basin area. The overallrnquantity of water available in the basin is very insufficient. In addition, the difficult access ofrnwater resources in the basin severely restricts their utilization. With an area of some 191146...
In recognition of men's influence on f amily life decision and actions and family planningrnneeds, men are encouraged to involve in family planning programs to determine the mostrnimportant socio-cultural, demographic and family planning factors that influence malerninvolvement infamily...
Bridge structures play a vital role in the development of one country by providing access to cross valley and/or river. Especially for our country Ethiopia, where the geographic condition obligates to construct bridge in most area of the country. There are many bridge types; Arch Bridge is one of...
Infrastructure development is raising its pace. Many reinforced concrete and masonry buildingsrnare constructed annually around the globe. With this, there are large numbers of them whichrndeteriorate or become unsafe to use because of changes in use, changes in loading, change inrndesign...
