Flexural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Externally Side-Bonded CFRP Laminates
(2016-04)
Carbon fiber reinforcement polymer (CFRP) composite sheets and plates are widely used nowadays in civil engineering applications to externally strengthen structural concrete elements against deficiencies in flexure and ...
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 ...
Using Lactose and Ultrasound to deliver chemotherapeutics
(2019-05)
As the number of cancer patients increase, so does the number of patients that undergo chemotherapy, as well as the suffering, caused by its side effects. To solve this adversity, an innovative form of delivering ...
Developing Quantitative Assessment Metrics for Determining the Intelligence Level of a Human-Computer Interface
(2014-01)
The quality of human-computer interfaces is becoming increasingly important as smart devices are becoming an essential part of our lives. Often what makes or breaks the market success of a device is not the hardware, but ...
Guidance, Control and Trajectory Tracking of Small Fixed Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's)
(2009-04)
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) have gained increasing considerations due to their low cost and increased autonomy. A large number of applications in the military and civilian fields. The present work considers a low level ...
Effect of Construction Void Defects on Flexural and Axial Load Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Members
(2018-05)
A common construction defect in reinforced concrete is honeycombing, which consists of loosely connected coarse aggregates with little mortar in-between them over a small volume located within a structural member. Such a ...
A Six Sigma Define Phase Methodology for Service-Level Compliance Processes
(2007-12)
The world economy has been recently experiencing the shift towards services, a phenomenon that is referred to as services-based or services-led economy. A service generally combines activities of a more intangible nature, ...
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 ...
Design and performance of sustainable/green concrete
(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, ...
Seismic Site Response, Analysis and Characterization of Major Cities in UAE
(2011-06)
United Arab Emirates (UAE) has experienced significant economic growth in recent years. The accelerated schedule driven projects are compelling designers to use values of seismic hazard (ground motion) that are either ...
