Evaluations of Sustainable Concepts in Civil Engineering Program
(2011)
Sustainability has been very critical for civil engineering graduates. A lack of understanding the fundamentals of sustainable material brings obstacles in implementing the concepts of sustainability ...
Sustainability of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beams Sunder Sea Water Splash Zone
(2013-03)
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) has found great applications in the building and construction industry. However;
there is a limited theoretical and experimental research in this area. This report investigates the ...
Sustainability of Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Concrete
(World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, 2017)
Concrete, despite being one of the most produced materials in the world, still has weaknesses and drawbacks. Significant concern of the cementitious materials in structural applications is their quasi-brittle behavior, ...
Soil remediation from waste lubricating oil
(Elsevier, 2018-02)
Soil remediation was investigated from waste oil contamination. Contamination of different soil particle diameters was prepared with different dosage of waste oil contamination. Solvent extraction technique was employed ...
Integrating Sustainability Education in a Classical Civil Engineering Program: The Case of Transportation and Construction Courses
(2011-10)
Sustainability has emerged as a common theme in many processes related to urban life and the built environment. However, most engineering curricula still lacks the fundamentals of sustainable practices education that ...
Remediation of water from crude oil spill using a fibrous sorbent
(Elsevier, 2016-11)
Remediation of oil-polluted water was studied using waste tire cord fiber WTCF as a waste fibrous sorbent. The rate of sorption, sorption capacity, oil retention, water uptake, adsorption isotherm model, and kinetic behavior ...
Performance of cementitious materials produced by incorporating surface treated multiwall carbon nanotubes and silica fume
(Elsevier, 2016-07-01)
The outstanding mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) highlight them as potential candidates for cementitious material reinforcement. However, their low surface friction and the Van der Waals forces of attraction ...
Temperature Effect on the Mechanical Properties of Carbon, Glass and Carbon-Glass FRP Laminates
(Elsevier, 2015-01)
Externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates are widely used to strengthen and rehabilitate reinforced concrete (RC) structural members in flexure and shear. Despite the clear and proven advantages of using ...
Evaluation of sustainable concrete produced with desalinated reject brine
(Elsevier, 2017-06)
The worldwide demand for new concrete buildings is increasing at a rapid pace to keep up with urban development. Despite the need, concrete production and its use have a number of environmental consequences. The production ...
Evaluation of Sustainability of Multistory Reinforced Concrete Structure
(2014)
Three different types of concrete mixes of design strengths 100 MPa, 50 MPa, and 50 MPa lightweight were designed, produced, and analyzed in the effort to quantify their effects on sustainability and economics. An overall ...
