    "Design of The Western Part of Nablus Ring Road" "Moh'd Bin Rashid Al-Maktom Road"
    (2009) Hakam Aaraj; Qadri Shaheen; Mutaz O'deh; Sameer Abu Eisheh
    Proper transportation services permit the specialization of industry or commerce, reduce costs for raw materials like building stone, or manufactured goods, and result in lower costs and greater choices for the consumer. Nablus city, one of the main commercial centers in the West Bank, suffers from high congestions in Central Business District (CBD) because it lies between two mountains. Nablus roads are characterized as relatively narrow and long, especially through its limited but highly dense downtown area and center. Nablus city center connects several main roads leading to other roads and towns around. It connects the northern cities (Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqilya, Haifa, etc.) and the southern cities (Ramallah, Jerusalem, Hebron, etc.). The construction of a Ring Road around Nablus is essential for solving the congestions problem in Nablus CBD. Therefore Nablus Municipality has proposed the Ring Road to circle the city from all directions. This project is concerned with the design of the Western Part of Nablus Ring Road. It reviews, analyzes, plans and designs all elements of the road and provides the required data, calculations, and details of the design.

    Alternatives to solve Faisal/Haifa Streets problems
    (2009) Dina Marwan Abdulhaq; Dima Aquil Qamhiyeh; Sameer Abu Eisheh
     As more and more vehicles crowd the citiess roadways, traffic congestion has an increasingly debilitating effect on our quality of life. Across the West Bank, people, business, the industry, the economy and the environment pay a higher and higher price for mounting congestion through delays, lost opportunities, higher costs, increased accidents, reduced competitiveness, pollution, frustration and much more.Nablus city is a major city located in the central part of North West Bank, connecting the northern governorates with the governorates in the middle and south of the West Bank. Moreover, Nablus City is the center for the villages and refugees camps around it. Figures (1) and (2) present the central location of Nablus city in Palestine and Nablus governorates, respectively. Therefore, traffic that passes through the city is considered to be high. It requires a thorough examination to develop possible solutions to through traffic passing the city center, thorough major projects, rather than traffic management plans, in order to provide the appropriate links for through traffic, considering the available space of the roadway network and to keep at the same time acceptable service operations for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Through traffic passing along ''Faisal Street'' and its western extension of "Haifa Street", they form the basic arterial street across the city. Traffic along the street is rapidly growing due to political, social and economical changes that are happening there.  City planners, civil engineers, environmental, politicians and the general population can have a significant impact on how we address traffic congestion. Traffic is a very political and sensitive issue since almost every proposed method of addressing it carries a hefty price tag.

    Design of Several Foundation Systems For Faculty of Optics
    (2010) Maysaa Qushou; Sama Ismail; Isam G. Jardaneh
     The lowest part of the structure generally is referred to as the foundation; its function is to transfer the load of the structure to the soil on which it is resting. A properly designed foundation transfers the load throughout the soil without overstressing the soil, both of which cause damage to the structure. Thus, geotechnical and structural engineers who design foundations must evaluate the bearing capacity of soils. Depending on the structure and soil encountered, various types of foundations are used and may be classified in two main groups, namely, shallow foundation and deep foundation. Shallow foundation is simply an enlargement of a load bearing wall or column that makes it possible to spread the load of the structure over larger area of the soil in soil with low load bearing capacity, the size of the foundation requires is impracticably large, in that case, it is more economical to construct the entire structure over a concrete pad, this is called a mat foundation. Deep foundation including pile and drilled shaft foundations are used for heavier structures when great depth is required for supporting the load. Piles are structural members made of timber, concrete, or steel that transmit their load into the subsoil, piles can be divided into two basic categories: friction piles and end bearing piles. In the case of friction piles, the superstructure load is resisted by the shear stress generated along the surface of the pile. In the end bearing pile, the load carried by the pile is transmitted as its tip to a firm stratum. This project will present design of several foundation systems of the Faculty of Optics Building. The Optics Building has seven stories and its plan area is about 1200 m for each story. The structural system is a typical structure of slabs, beams, columns and foundation system to carry columns loads. Columns loads are found by analyzing the structure with Software called SAP 2000 ver. 12. Tributary area method is also used for analysis and comparisons were made between tributary area method and analysis using SAP 2000.

    Spatial and temporal drought analysis in the west bank
    (2010) Shadi Kalabani; Atyia Altos
    Drought considered from the most natural hazards that threatened the West Bank water resources and very critical issue to understand. This study aims at assessing the behavior of spatial and temporal drought in the West Bank. In order to study drought, it is important to correlate it with rainfall analysis. Also this study shows the effects and features of drought and discussing them depending on spatial and temporal analysis. The drought changes along West Bank temporally and spatially. Hence the drought features must be considered for all water resources management in the West Bank. Most of formulas of drought prediction are based on statistical analysis, because drought is treated as random and probability is the main way to deal with drought. Rainfall data is an essential element of basic data input to many hydrologic and engineering studies. The West Bank is characterized as a arid to semi-arid region with rainfall varies spatially from one station to another and temporally at specific station on many factors.

    (2012) Ethar Aqel; Saja Yameen; Khaireya Soqia; Khaled Al-Sahili
    Abstract Rafedia Corridor is the major line of transportation that connects Nablus with the western villages like Bait-Wazan, Junaid and others. It is also the road that leads to Qalqilya. Recently this road was expanded to serve the new campus of An-Najah National University.  This Corridor is distinguished with high traffic volume especially in the evenings and vacations, mornings and afternoons in the workdays because it is a main Corridor that serves the urban area. Rafedia Street is classified as an Urban Arterial Highways, which has a length of 3.5 Km. It can be divided into two parts. The first part extends from Yasser Arafat Street / Bait Wazan intersection to Rafedia Street / Tunis Street intersection; the second part extends from Rafedia Street / Tunis Street intersection to the to Prince Mohammad Street / Ahmad Al-Shaka'a Street intersection. The objectives of this project are to analyze and improve the existing conditions of Rafedia Corridor, the proper evaluation was performed for the section that extend from Yasser Arafat Street / Bait Wazan intersection in the east to Prince Mohammad street / Ahmad Al-Shaka'a Street intersection in the west.   The street classification is Urban Arterial Highway; Bus was chosen as the design vehicle with a design speed of 50 Km/hr. From the overall analysis of the traffic and geometric existing conditions, it was clarified that the Corridor has a significant problems which cause the demand to exceed the capacity, increase congestion, and operating the street at not appropriate LOS. After collecting the information and the observations in Rafedia Corridor, the data will be analyzed. Analysis of existing conditions includes traffic volume data which was analyzed by Excel sheet to find Peak Hour (PH), Peak Hour Volume (PHV) and Peak Hour Factor (PHF). Analysis also includes capacity and Level-of-Service (LOS) analysis which was performed utilizing Highway Capacity Software (HCS2000), and simulating the existing road network of Rafedia Corridor using Synchro 7 software.
