Pavement management systems can assist the engineers in identifying the most appropriate treatment on selected sections of the road network through the use of economic analysis, predictive models and time-series information.rnThe objective of this case study was to review the Pavement Management...
The main focus of the study was to explore the relationship between job performance and initialrninterest as well as personality of Urban Health Extension Workers in Gulele, Yeka and AddisrnKetema sub cities. To arrive at the intended target a descriptive in its nature and a health facilityrnbased...
Road infrastructure is one of the transport infrastructures that play an important role in improving the accessibility of areas and the residents’ mobility. However, the availability of different loading condition between the two directions of the road causes deterioration of more heavily...
Road transport is the backbone of the real economy but its future health depends on providing better environmental and economic benefits, not simply more transport. And hence it calls for an efficient transport to improve the economic growth that takes into account the emissions that drives climate...
Urban design strategies are one of the means to create better quality of life, environment,rnand ways of using resources effectively and in general a means to meet the basic social, cultural,rnphysiological and other needs.rnAddis Ababa is one of the cities that are developing at an alarming rate...
Highway engineers are changing their attention from the construction of new roads to maintenance of the existing network. Pavement maintenance is set activities for ensuring safe, serviceable and sustainable road network till the end of the design life of pavements.rnImproper maintenance, on the...
Laterite gravels are marginal materials, which are locally available in southern and western part of Ethiopia, but not usually meet the specification to be used as pavement material for heavy traffic due to their gab grading and having higher plasticity.rnThe focus of this study is to use laterite...
Studying suitability and ways of implementation of bikeway for transportation infrastructures found on selected Addis Ababa routes are the main underlying reasons behind why this research is conducted. The degree of these infrastructures ability to accommodate cycle facilities are identified and...

In freeway traffic flow contains different types of vehicles, due to the variation of vehicles in therntraffic flow the speed of passenger cars influenced by heavy vehicles, for the reason that heavyrnvehicles uses more driving area of the road and limited performance. Hence according to...
This thesis presents the investigation, analysis and design of proposed remedial measures for three cut slope related instability (land slide) locations stationed at Sta.66+995 to Sta.67+055(RHS), Sta.68+020(ahead) to Sta. 68+120(back) (RHS) and Sta. 72+740 to Sta. 72+790(LHS) of LOT II: Belta...
Traditionally, design engineers tend to be conservative in calculating pump stationrndecision variables by focusing on peak demands that occur about1% of the time. Onrnthe other hand, optimal design and operation of pumping stations are mathematicallyrnlarge-scale non-linear problems. Consequently,...
In the eastern part of Guraghe, bounded by Meki and Weja River, Irrigation practice increasesrnusing pumping technology. This alarming increasing of pumping groundwater for irrigationrnpurpose has resulted in:-The reduction of groundwater potential in the groundwater basin and dryrnup of streams,...
