      <title>Sea Level Tidal Attributes in Port Said Harbor, Eastern Egyptian Mediterranean Coast</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2449433</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Observed sea level data attained from a pressure sensor tide gauge, installed inside Port Said harbor in Egypt, was utilized to modernize tidal characteristics and surges in the study area. Five years of hourly sea level dataset (June 2010 to June 2015) were analyzed using the harmonic analysis approach of Delft-3D Tide suit. The results of the analysis revealed that the semi-diurnal constituents (M2, S2), together with the solar annual (Sa) dominate tide behavior in the area. Furthermore, a semidiurnal tidal regime by a ratio of 0.21 is based on the form factor (FF) equation. Moreover, tidal asymmetry (Ar.) shows a flood tide with a short period of a value equal to 0.01068 > 0.01, which reflects a tide wave distortion. From power spectral analysis, the sea-level change is controlled by both the significant tidal and non-tidal (storm surge) components by almost an equal percentage of 50.63 % and 49.37 % respectively. Additionally, the residual from sea level harmonic analysis was annually correlated with the meteorological parameters of wind, temperature, and atmospheric pressure to estimate their effect on Sea-Level Rise (SLR). A small positive trend line of SL was distinguished in the years from 2011 to 2015 by approximately (2 mm/yr.) due to the weak correlation of meteorological parameters, in conjunction with a conventional relationship with atmospheric pressure and temperature. In 2010, a slight negative linear tendency was noticed of 0.3 mm/yr., which can be related to the direct proportional relation of atmospheric pressure and surge component, besides an inversely proportional relation of air temperature and residual component, regardless of the weak correlation with wind vector. Overall, the research provides insights into the tidal characteristics, surges, and sea-level rise in Port Said Harbor. Understanding these attributes serves the objective of this paper to assess the impact of sea-level rise and develop appropriate adaptation strategies in coastal areas]]></description>

      <title>Sustainable Development of Coastal Cities-Proposal of a Modelling Framework to Achieve Sustainable City-Port Connectivity</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1396009</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Since ports throughout history handled an important kind of transportation, they may dominate the local economy of a coastal city. The present day challenge is the inability of most coastal cities to absorb rapidly expanding port developments and population growth. The paper explains the development of the city-port relationship. In order to develop a modelling framework to achieve the sustainable city-port connectivity, the study is based on theoretical and field work. Finally, the case study ‘Port Said’ city will be presented. The framework covers principles which manage the sustainable city-port connectivity. This is followed by the conclusion and proposed recommendations for sustainable future developments.]]></description>

      <title>Activity-Based Approach for Modelling Travel Demand Accessibility in the Port Said City – Egypt</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1329979</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Mobility in urban areas is a subject of current concern. Individual mode choice is one of the travel demand modeling basic steps that depends on the mode utility function. Port-Said (PS) city, as an Egyptian urban area, has a problem of increasing number of population using private modes including private car and taxi that caused peak road jam in the last few years. This paper aims at applying Logit calibration of advanced discrete choice models with several individual and mode attributes affecting the prediction of individual choice. The models investigate innovative transport systems like Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) as a hypothetical mode situation beside the regular modes of transport (car and taxi). The methodology provides data collection of PS transportation mode system and develops Multinomial Logit model (MNL), Nested Logit model (NL), and Mixed Logit model (MXL) using Visual-tm Software. The survey was formed by the Stated Preference (SP) technique conducted for individuals from all PS zones and the predictable travel mode choice behavior was analyzed. The results were briefly analyzed to demonstrate the three models. Finally, travel velocity and time budget sensitivity were calculated, for different income levels, as a result of the supposed policy.]]></description>

      <title>Behavior Improvement of Raft Foundation on Port-Said Soft Clay Utilizing Geofoam</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1310168</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The construction on the soft clay which extends in many areas in Egypt is considered a big challenge. The soil of Port-Said is one of the inverted soils such as Frankfurt and Shanghais. Herein, extended poly-styrene (EPS) geofoam was used to replace the soft soil in order to control settlement under raft foundation. In this study, a two-dimensional finite difference numerical method was adopted. This numerical method was first verified against experimental data and then used for the analysis of the raft using EPS in a parametric study. The parametric study was extended to consider the change of the density and thickness of geofoam layers and the number of floors. Comparison was made between cases with geofoam replacement and those without geofoam. Discussion for the numerical results was performed and conclusions were drawn.]]></description>
