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 ...
Flexural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Externally Side-Bonded CFRP Laminates
(2016-04)
Carbon fiber reinforcement polymer (CFRP) composite sheets and plates are widely used nowadays in civil engineering applications to externally strengthen structural concrete elements against deficiencies in flexure and ...
Design and performance of sustainable/green concrete
(2016-01)
Concrete is the most used construction material in the world. However, the production of one ton of cement, which is the main ingredient of concrete, releases about one ton of carbon dioxide, and consumes natural resources, ...
Structural Behavior of Strand Reinforced Concrete Members without Prestressing
(2016-12)
One way to reduce the large amount of steel present in reinforced concrete members that are subjected to high loads is to use high strength materials. In this study, use of high strength steel, seven-wire strands with ...
Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams Made with Recycled Coarse Aggregate
(2016-07)
The Bee'ah's Waste Management Complex in the Emirate of Sharjah, UAE, has been producing aggregate from construction and demolition wastes for quite some time. However, such a product has not been utilized in structural ...
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 ...
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 ...
Experimental Study of Punching Shear Resistance of Synthetic Fiber Reinforced Concrete Interior Slabs
(2016-09)
This study experimentally explores the suitability of Synthetic Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (SNFRC) as a feasible method for improving the punching shear strength of two-way slabs. The investigation involved interior flat ...
Effect of Concrete Type on Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with HSS Bars
(2016-03)
High-Strength Steel (HSS) bars can be a promising alternative to commonly used mild steel since they have the potential of making more efficient use of highperformance concrete and reducing the required number and size of ...
