Thermo-mechanical Behavior of C45 Steel over a Range of Temperatures and Loading Rates
(2016-01)
This research aims to describe the behavior of C45 structural steel that is increasingly used in the oil and gas industry in environments where high temperatures and strain rates are applied. The primary goal is to introduce ...
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 ...
Effect of Flexural CFRP Sheets and Plates on Shear Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Beams
(2014-05)
Ageing of reinforced concrete (RC) structures has captured the attention of a number of researchers to find different materials and techniques to strengthen and retrofit deteriorated structures. Carbon Fiber Reinforced ...
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 ...
Numerical Study of Localization Failure in Structural Steel Under Impact Loading
(2011-10)
High quality steels are used as a skeleton supporting many infrastructure constructions like, for example, skyscrapers, arenas, stadiums, bridges and others. The likelihood that these structures could be severely damaged ...
Transformer Condition Assessment Using Artificial Intelligence
(2010-05)
As a result of the deregulations in the power system networks, utilities have been competing to optimize their operational costs and enhance the reliability of their electrical infrastructure. So, the importance of ...
Strengthening of High Strength Reinforced Concrete Slabs with CFRP Laminates
(2016-05)
During the last few decades, engineers and researchers used high-strength concrete to cast reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Accordingly, the dead weight of buildings and structures were reduced significantly, which ...
Sustainability of Composite Columns under Repeated Load and Harsh Environment
(2013-01)
Strengthening and rehabilitation are important operations for structural building to ensure sustainability. Enhancing the performance for the structural elements against the various loads and extreme conditions is the key ...
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 ...
