Identifying the Inherent Factors Causing Delays in the UAE Construction Industry
(2021-04)
The construction industry is one of the most important industries that impact the economy of a country as it contributes significantly to the GDP, employment, and wealth. The UAE construction industry contributes to 8.7% ...
Performance of RC Columns Strengthened with Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM)
(2021-05)
A recently emerging technique to strengthen existing concrete structures using Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) is introduced to retrofit structural members. FRCM is an inorganic matrix that consists of textile ...
Investigation and Mathematical Modeling of Acoustic Release of Doxorubicin from Micelles
(2020-05)
Given the growing concern over the increasing number of people diagnosed with cancer and the high prevalence of unwanted side effects associated with chemotherapy on healthy tissues, this thesis aims to provide better, ...
Finite Element Modeling of Drilling AZ91 Magnesium Foam Reinforced with Hollow Alumina Microspheres
(2021-07)
Novel AZ91 magnesium syntactic foams are a potential choice for temporary biomedical implants. In many cases, holes of various sizes need to be machined on the biomedical implants using the drilling process to facilitate ...
Comparison of Whole-class Discussion and Task-based Activity: A Small-Scale Study
(2020-05)
This study examined the participation patterns and effectiveness of two different sets of materials applied with two different treatments: Treatment 1 consisted of a Task-based activity; Treatment 2 used a whole-class ...
Discourse Effects on the Acquisition of the English Causative Forms: Structured Input vs. Structured Output Practice.
(2020-05)
This research presents the results of a quasi-experimental empirical study investigating the effects of structured input activities and structured output tasks on the acquisition of English causative forms. The study is ...
Design and Optimization of a Planar Cable Robot
(2020-07)
This thesis presents a new approach towards the design of Cable-Driven-Parallel Robots (CDPR). Typically, the design of such robots is not the main concern, whereas in this work, an optimization of the design is carried ...
Sliding Resistance of Serrated-Base Quay Walls
(2021-11)
Waterfront retaining structures, such as quay walls, play important roles in the safety and operation of ports and harbours. Designing waterfront structures under critical loads and conditions is one of the important topics ...
Hybrid Energy Management System For Electric Vehicles
(2021-12)
Boosting the performance of the energy storage system (ESS) of electric vehicles (EV) is of great significance to achieve their pervasion and encourage their mass adoption, which will, in turn, curtail the emission of ...
One Dimensional Seismic Site Response Analysis of United Arab Emirates
(2021-08)
Seismic design of structures located in seismically active areas, like UAE, is primarily based on Seismic Site Response Analysis (SRA) of that area. SRA is the process of estimating the response of soil layers under ...
