Seminar held by the Department of Civil Engineering

The Department of Civil Engineering - Faculty of Engineering - Anbar University in the presence of a. M . Dr. Akram Shaker Mahmoud Head of Department and within the curriculum of his weekly scientific activities for the academic year 2018/2019 (Chapter II) Seminar seminar for the professors of the department under the title:

Establishing skid resistance thresholds for local authority roads in the UK using statistical models.

On the Ibn al-Haytham Hall for discussions in the section on Tuesday, 5/3/2019.

The teacher, Dr. Hamed Ahmed, taught in the department a study that concludes that skid resistance is one of the most important characteristics of the road surface, which has an effective effect on traffic accidents. The main objective of this study is to determine specific values ​​of sliding resistance for different parts of the road network from. The road network was selected in three cities in the UK to be the place of study

The results of this study show that increasing the value of slip resistance reduces the number of traffic accidents in road networks.

The seminar was attended by members of the scientific committee, a number of faculty members in the department and postgraduate students for the research and preparatory years.
