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 ...
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 ...
Effect of Diverse Seismic Hazard Estimates on Performance and Overall Cost of RC Shear Wall Buildings in Dubai, UAE
(2016-01)
During the last two decades or so, many iconic buildings have been built in Dubai as a result of the rapid economic growth. Unfortunately, several probabilistic seismic hazard studies are reporting substantially diverse ...
Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Columns Using Composite of Near Surface Mounted CFRP Strips and Fabric
(2016-01)
In this study, the efficiency of using near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips with CFRP confinement for strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) columns was investigated. The columns were ...
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 ...
Durability of Mortar and Epoxy Bonded Galvanized Steel Mesh Sheets to Concrete Surfaces
(2019-04)
Over the last few decades, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets and plates have been extensively used as external strengthening materials and proved to be quite effective in enhancing the flexure and shear strength of ...
Experimental Investigation of FRP-Reinforced Concrete Columns Under Concentric and Eccentric Loading
(2019-06)
The problem of corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete (RC) structures has urged the need for alternative reinforcement materials. One possible alternative is fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, which are non-corrosive, ...
Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Externally Bonded Hybrid Systems
(2017-12)
The demand for strengthening of aging reinforced concrete (RC) structures are continuously rising. Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) are the most widely used externally bonded-reinforcing (EBR) materials for strengthening ...
Flexural Performance of Reinforced Concrete Beams Externally Strengthened with Carbon and Basalt FRP Sheets
(2015-05)
Different strengthening systems have been widely used for many years to retrofit and repair deficient structural members. Reinforced concrete (RC) slabs and beams are commonly strengthened in flexure by externally bonding ...
Effect of Basalt Fibers on The Flexural Behavior of Beams Reinforced With BFRP Bars
(2018-05)
Over the last few decades, construction materials have gone through many developments aimed at improving their structural and operational properties. The implementation of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars as a replacement ...
