The design and evaluation of pavement structures require a significant amount of supporting data such as subgrade material properties density and cohesion. The present study is undertaken to prepare thematic maps in order to predict the important parameters used in highway pavement design, geometric design, feasibility and other construction projects taking advantage of the ability of GIS tools by using soil investigation reports as a database. Also, these maps are useful in determining the unsuitable soil materials’ position for subgrade in order to avoid or treat any problem.

Modeling of Cathodic Protection for Pipelines The corrosion of metallic structures buried in soils or in contact with soils has long been a serious engineering and economic problem. All over the world millions of kilometers of gas, water, oil pipelines, communication cables, power

Bit Error Rate (BER) and Bit Energy to Noise Ratio performance of the 1-D RAKE receiver without , with Space Time Transmit Diversity (STTD) and 2-D RAKE without , with (STTD) and also without and with beamforming for WCDMA over Rayleigh Channel in presence of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel is demonstrated with purpose of making simulation of m-files developed in Matlab.Results are evaluated in terms of BER and  considering the number of Base Station (BS) transmit antennas (1-D RAKE and 2-D RAKE receivers), and the number of RAKE fingers (1-D RAKE r
