BIM for Energy Modelling of Green Buildings
Al-Haidary, Haidar E. (2018-11)Energy conservation has become a priority for many governments and sustainable building standards such as LEEDS and Estidama. This is largely due to the high energy demand of buildings and the rising concerns over the ... -
Characterization and Modeling of Damage in Steel at Different Strain Rates
Al-Himairee, Reem (2011-01)The structural behavior of steel, as many structural materials, changes during deformation processes under complex mechanical loadings. The damage process may start at some point in the deformation process in the form of ... -
Cost Evaluation of 3D Concrete Printing in the UAE Construction Industry
Alhomsi, Mhd Amjad (2023-11)The integration of 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) in the construction sector is rapidly expanding, poised to revolutionize conventional processes and usher in disruptive technologies. Globally, the construction industry is ... -
Design and performance of sustainable/green concrete
Abdulkatib, Wisam J. (2016-01)Concrete is the most used construction material in the world. However, the production of one ton of cement, which is the main ingredient of concrete, releases about one ton of carbon dioxide, and consumes natural resources, ... -
Development and Evaluation of Nano-silica Sustainable Concrete
Alqamish, Habib Hassan Abdulla (2017-05)The concrete industry is one of the main contributors in the emission of carbon dioxide. Yet, it is the most used man-made material. In the past few decades, different pozzolanic materials were used as a partial replacement ... -
Development and Mechanical Performance of Sustainable Geopolymer Concrete
Zannerni, Ghina M. (2016-05)Concrete production has always been a main source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. These emissions come mainly from Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), which releases an average of 0.83 tons of CO2 /t. Researchers have been ... -
The Effects of Local Aggregates on the Mechanical Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC)
Obied, Michel (2013-06)Engineered Cementitous Composites (ECC) are a class of ultra-ductile fiber reinforced cementitious composites characterized by a strain hardening behavior and a high strain capacity when subjected to tensile loading. ECC ... -
Evaluating the Structural Performance and Durability of CNT and Polyethylene Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
Al Araj, Rashad R. (2016-11)Concrete, despite being one of the most produced materials in the world, still has weaknesses and drawbacks. The major concern of cementitious materials in structural applications is their quasi-brittle behavior, which ... -
Evaluation of 3D Concrete Printing in the United Arab Emirates
Alchaar, Aktham S. (2020-02)3D concrete printing has been recently studied as a new scheme of construction. The automated nature of such technique allows for reductions in waste generation, less manpower requirements, and fabrication of complex ... -
Evaluation of the bending properties of profiled skin structure
Al Qaraghuli, Hassan (2016-01)This research is focused on developing a representative testing method for structural skin panels. The profiled panels are widely used in many applications used in warehouses and factories. They are mainly used as roof or ... -
Evaluation of the Bond and Tensile Strength of GFRP Bars Exposed to Harsh Environment
Abedi, Saber (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 ... -
A Maturity Model for a Sustainable Construction Industry
Dahabra, Taha Mohamad (2014-01)Although the construction industry has provided societies with facilities and infrastructure projects that meet their needs and fulfill their requirements, created up to 7% of the world's job opportunities, accounted for ... -
