Strengthening of Shear Deficient Reinforced Concrete Beams using Anchored CFRP sheets
(2020-05)Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials have been widely implemented to strengthen existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in the past three decades. Studies have shown that externally bonding FRP materials ... -
Structural and Durability Performance of 3D Concrete Printing
(2023-07)3D concrete printing, 3DCP, is considered the latest digital technology in the construction industry, it has proven its potential in a wide range of disciplines. Recently, there has been growing interest in exploring 3D ... -
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 ... -
A Study of the Impact of the Climate and Land-use/Land-cover (LULC) Changes on the UAE Mangrove Forests over the Period 1990-2020
(2023-06)Mangroves are integral part of coastal ecosystem, demonstrating resiliency against adverse anthropogenic and environmental effects. They provide blue carbon stock and security against coastal erosion and act as a nutrient ... -
Sustainability of Composite Columns under Repeated Load and Harsh Environment
(2013-01)Strengthening and rehabilitation are important operations for structural building to ensure sustainability. Enhancing the performance for the structural elements against the various loads and extreme conditions is the key ... -
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 ... -
Total Damages Quantification Method for Float Allocation
(2016-07)Construction projects involve several contracting parties such as clients, contractors, consultants and many others. These contracting parties tend to use the float of noncritical activities for their own benefits, such ... -
Towards a Critical Construction Management Research Agenda in the MENA Region
(2014-03)Research in construction management has seen a lot of growth in recent years. The contribution of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is still relatively low. There is a need to identify the causes of the low ... -
Use of Internal Structural Steel Strip Bands as Shear Reinforcement in Concrete Beams
(2017-12)A new method of lateral shear reinforcement is investigated in which a reinforced concrete (RC) beam is transversely reinforced by Internal Structural Steel Strip Bands (ISSSBs), instead of conventional stirrups. The steel ... -
The Use of Lime to Stabilize Clay Soil against Internal Erosion
(2018-12)Internal erosion failure of soils in hydraulic structures is one of the most catastrophic failures in civil engineering projects. Therefore, it is vital to stabilize the soil against this phenomenon. Different materials ... -
Variation of Shear Wave Velocity with SPT-N Values in the City of Sharjah
(2014-06)Modern building codes require the evaluation of a shear wave velocity profile of the foundation soils for a dynamic analysis of structures and sites to occur. Wave velocities are typically evaluated by conducting laboratory ... -
Water Quality Modeling of Dubai Creek using HEC-RAS
(2015-05)The quality of the water resources is facing threats because of the continuous urbanization. This increase in human activities around the coastal areas changed the water quality, affecting the aquatic ecosystem. Eutrophication ...
