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 ...
Thermo-economic Optimization of Hybrid Combined Power Cycles Using Heliostat Field Collector
(2016-01)
Electricity has an essential role in our daily life. However, with the ever increasing cost of fossil fuels and natural gas, power generation with higher efficiency and lower capital cost is in high demand. Nowadays, global ...
Analysis of Innovative Vapor Compression and Thermal Energy Storage Systems Using Alternative Refrigerants
(2016-12)
This research presents detailed analyses of innovative single and two stages vapor compression refrigeration cycles (VCRCs) as well as a cold thermal energy system (CTES) for residential and commercial cooling applications. ...
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 ...
Thermo-mechanical Behavior of C45 Steel over a Range of Temperatures and Loading Rates
(2016-01)
This research aims to describe the behavior of C45 structural steel that is increasingly used in the oil and gas industry in environments where high temperatures and strain rates are applied. The primary goal is to introduce ...
Load Partitioning for Matrix-Matrix Multiplication on a Cluster of CPUGPU Nodes Using the Divisible Load Paradigm
(2016-11)
Matrix-matrix multiplication is a component of many numerical algorithms; however, it is a time consuming operation. Sometimes, when the matrix size is huge, the processing of the matrix-matrix multiplication on a single ...
Inertial Navigation system of In-pipe Inspection Robot
(2016-05)
The main goal of this study is to design and implement a robust inertial navigation system (INS) for in-pipe inspection robot. To achieve this goal, different mechanization approaches, that are derived in different frames ...
Arab Culture in Translation: From Exoticism to Terrorism
(2016-05)
The 9/11 attacks placed the Arab and Islamic World at the center of a global attention characterized by the negativity of an old inherited conception. While portraying Arabs and Muslims again within a clash of civilizations ...
