Nature-Based Solutions for Lake Water Purification and Ecosystem Restoration
Introduction Freshwater lakes are vital lifelines for drinking water, agriculture, fisheries, and urban ecosystems, yet rapid industrialization and population growth have placed immense pressure on these natural resources. Pollution from sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial effluents often accumulates in lakes, making water treatment both challenging and costly. Recent research highlights how natural and eco-friendly lake…

Experimental Analysis of Hydraulic Jump Behavior in Rectangular Open Channel Flumes
Introduction Understanding how water behaves under rapidly changing flow conditions is critical for designing safe and efficient hydraulic structures. A hydraulic jumpwhere flow transitions from supercritical to subcriticalplays a vital role in energy dissipation and erosion control in canals and spillways. Experimental investigations using open channel flumes provide valuable insights into these complex flow dynamics.…

Thermal Stress Analysis in Continuous Rigid Frame Bridges Using Finite Element Modeling
Introduction Thermal actions play a critical role in the long-term safety and durability of modern bridge structures, particularly continuous rigid frame bridges constructed with prestressed concrete box girders. Daily temperature variations, solar radiation, and environmental exposure create complex temperature gradients that induce internal stresses, often leading to cracking and reduced service life if not properly…
