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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Intelligent Multi-Sensor Process Condition Monitoring
(2007-12)
Loss of production and machine breakdown are critical challenges facing modern machining. The main objective of this work is to develop an intelligent multi-sensor process condition monitoring that is able to predict the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effect of Crude Oil Products on the Geotechnical Properties of Sandy Soil
(2011-03)
Different regions around the world are encountering oil pollution due to many reasons such as leakage of oil due to tanker accidents, transportation on land and sea, and during the process of oil drilling. This oil spill ...
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 ...
Evaluation of the Bond and Tensile Strength of GFRP Bars Exposed to Harsh Environment
(2014-01)
Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) have become one of the fastest-emerging materials to compete with conventional steel bars for use in concrete. The mechanical properties and durability of FRP materials are the main concerns ...
