Civil Engineering Volunteerism: Assisting Developing Countries Stem the Tide of Economic Migration
Houghtalen, Robert J.; Abdalla, Jamal; Caldwell, James; Aidoo, John K.; Ward, Roger C.; Hanson, James H. (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 ... -
Durability of the bond between CFRP plates and concrete exposed to harsh environment
Al-Tamimi, Adil; Hawileh, Rami; Abdalla, Jamal; Rasheed, Hayder; Al Mahaidi, Riadh (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 ... -
Local site effects on seismic ground response of major cities in UAE
El-Emam, Magdi; Khan, Zahid; Abdalla, Jamal; Irfan, Muhammad (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 ... -
Optimum seismic design of unbonded post-tensioned precast concrete walls using ANN
Abdalla, Jamal; Elias, Saqan; Hawileh, Rami (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, ... -
Prediction of Backwater Level of Bridge Constriction using ANN
Atabay, Serter; Abdalla, Jamal; Erduran, Kutsi; Mortula, Maruf; Seckin, Galip (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 ... -
Prediction of minimum factor of safety against slope failure in clayey soils using artificial neural network
Abdalla, Jamal; Attom, Mousa; Hawileh, Rami (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 ... -
Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and spectral accelerations for United Arab Emirates
Khan, Zahid; El-Emam, Magdi; Irfan, Muhammad; Abdalla, Jamal (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 ... -
Temperature Effect on the Mechanical Properties of Carbon, Glass and Carbon-Glass FRP Laminates
Hawileh, Rami; Abu-Obeidah, A.; Abdalla, Jamal; Al Tamimi, Adil (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 ...
