Prediction of minimum factor of safety against slope failure in clayey soils using artificial neural network
(2015)
This paper presents prediction of minimum factor of safety (FS) against slope failure in clayey soils using artificial neural network (ANN). Two multilayer perceptron ANN models were used to predict the minimum factor of ...
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 ...
Local site effects on seismic ground response of major cities in UAE
(2015)
This paper investigates the influence of local geotechnical and geological soil conditions on the intensity of ground shaking of major cities in United Arab Emirates (UAE) including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah, and their ...
Civil Engineering Volunteerism: Assisting Developing Countries Stem the Tide of Economic Migration
(ASCE Library, 2017-10)
Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ...
Prediction of Backwater Level of Bridge Constriction using ANN
(2012-12)
Bridge constriction in channels usually causes afflux which results in increase in backwater level well above the normal level and may possibly result in overflow on the flood plain surrounding the channel during flooding ...
Durability of the bond between CFRP plates and concrete exposed to harsh environment
(ASCE, 2014-12)
Strengthening and retrofitting structural members using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials has gained wide acceptance in the civil engineering community because of their superior mechanical properties, light ...
Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and spectral accelerations for United Arab Emirates
(Springer, 2013-06)
In recent years, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has experienced an unprecedented growth which is coupled with the increase in seismic activity in the surroundings. Previous studies presents significant variations in their ...
Optimum seismic design of unbonded post-tensioned precast concrete walls using ANN
(2014-04)
Precast Seismic Structural Systems (PRESSS) provided an iterative procedure for obtaining optimum design of unbonded post-tensioned coupled precast concrete wall systems. Although PRESSS procedure is effective, however, ...
An Integrated Building Information Model (iBIM) for Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures
(International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (ICCCBE), 2018-06)
The architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry involve many disciplines during the life cycle of the building from its conception to its demolition. The civil engineering discipline has many domains related ...
Strengthening of reinforced concrete beams in flexure with side bonded CFRP laminates
(Conference on Durability of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites for Construction and Rehabilitation of Structures (CDCC 2017), 2017-07)
Carbon fiber reinforcement polymer CFRP laminates are widely used nowadays in civil engineering applications to externally strengthen structural concrete elements against deficiencies in flexure and shear. These deficiencies ...
