Analysis of Non-Yielding Basement Wall Adjacent to Strip Footing
(2016-05)
Foundation depth below the ground surface is one of the major factors that contributes to the bearing capacity and settlement of shallow foundation. Hence, it is common to find adjacent buildings on shallow foundations ...
Evaluation of the bending properties of profiled skin structure
(2016-01)
This research is focused on developing a representative testing method for structural skin panels. The profiled panels are widely used in many applications used in warehouses and factories. They are mainly used as roof or ...
Nonlinear FEA of Soil-Structure-Interaction Effects on RC Shear-Wall Structures
(2018-05)
Considering Soil-Structure-Interaction (SSI) is essential when evaluating the structural system’s response as it can unveil behaviors that are otherwise not accounted for in fixed-base (FB) systems. Nonlinear Finite Element ...
Predicting the Fatigue Failure of Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials Using Artificial Neural Networks
(2009-09)
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have recently been used in modeling the mechanical behavior of fiberreinforced composite materials. ANN have also been successfully used in predicting the fatigue behavior of a certain ...
Development and Evaluation of Nano-silica Sustainable Concrete
(2017-05)
The concrete industry is one of the main contributors in the emission of carbon dioxide. Yet, it is the most used man-made material. In the past few decades, different pozzolanic materials were used as a partial replacement ...
