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 ...
Evaluation of the bending properties of profiled skin structure
(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 ...
Effect of Crude Oil Products on the Geotechnical Properties of Sandy Soil
(2011-03)
Different regions around the world are encountering oil pollution due to many reasons such as leakage of oil due to tanker accidents, transportation on land and sea, and during the process of oil drilling. This oil spill ...
Online Monitoring of Outdoor Non-Ceramic Insulators
(2011-06)
Transmitting power using overhead lines is heavily used by power utilities due to their lower cost compared with underground cables. However, overhead lines have shown great influence on power system due to frequent power ...
Effect of Cooling Rate on the Mechanical Properties of Glass Fiber Polypropylene Composites
(2017-01)
Composite materials have been widely used in the recent years in almost all of the industries specially the high technology industries. Properties of the thermoplastic-based composites are affected by their processing ...
Retrofitting of Composite Steel Beams Pre-Damaged in Flexure using Fiber Reinforced Polymers
(2015-05)
The demand for the use of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite sheets and plates is exponentially increasing in the rehabilitation of deteriorating steel-concrete composite beams across the Globe. The aim of ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Fault Coverage and Diagnosis of Protocols and Systems Modeled As Extended Finite State Machines
(2015-01)
Automatic test derivation from formal specifications offers a rigorous discipline to functional conformance testing. In various application domains, such as communication protocols and other reactive systems, the specification ...
