Performance Of Waterborne Intumescent Coating With Hybrid Industrial And Biofillers For Steel Protection, Khairunisa Md Nasir
Performance Of Waterborne Intumescent Coating With Hybrid Industrial And Biofillers For Steel Protection, Khairunisa Md Nasir

In recent decades, the disastrous accidents caused by damaged steel structure in the event of the fire have reminded people of the risk of fire in industrial buildings. The use of intumescent coatings is one of the most efficient methods to protect materials against fire. The coating comprises three active elements bounded together with a binder, which then reacts together at higher temperatures. Under the action of heat, the coating expands and forms a thick porous char layer to insulate the substance, thereby prolonging the building from collapsing under severe fire conditions. Considering ecological issues, the use of waterborne resin …

Optimal Distribution Of Best Management Practices (Bmps) For Urban Stormwater Runoff Quantity And Quality Control, Rezaei Abdul Razaq
Student Works (2020-2029)
The vast development of urban areas throughout the world has substantially impacted the natural landscapes, leading to more imperviousness. Urbanization typically results in a larger amount of runoff volume, increase in flow frequency, duration and peak runoff, faster time of concentration as well as lower infiltration which will affect groundwater recharge. The stormwater runoff quality is also adversely affected in urban areas due to the pollutant loads in stormwater runoff. Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Low Impact Development (LID) have been widely applied to urban impervious surfaces to reduce urban stormwater runoff and improve water quality. In order to achieve …
Evaluation And Inter-Comparison Of Satellite Precipitation Estimations For Extreme Flood Events In Peninsular Malaysia, Zhen Xiang Eugene Soo
Evaluation And Inter-Comparison Of Satellite Precipitation Estimations For Extreme Flood Events In Peninsular Malaysia, Zhen Xiang Eugene Soo

Satellite precipitation products (SPP) have been useful in any hydrological applications as their extensive spatial coverage and finer space and time resolutions. However, these satellite estimations exhibit large systematic and random errors which may cause large uncertainties in any hydrological applications. In this study, three advanced satellite precipitation products, i.e. CMORPH, TRMM 3B42V7, and PERSIANN are utilized in conjunction with the ground observation to investigate their performance in detecting rain, capturing storms and rainfall pattern during extreme flood events. This study evaluates and compares the capability of the SPP by focusing on the 2014-2015 northeast monsoon extreme flood events. Three …
