Modeling Strategies of Finite Element Simulation of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with FRP: A Review
(MDPI, 2021)
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites do not only possess superior mechanical properties, but can also be easy to tailor, install, and maintain. As such, FRPs offer novel and attractive solutions to facilitate strengthening ...
Long-term field performance of concrete produced with powder waste glass as partial replacement of cement
(Elsevier, 2021)
This paper reports the long-term field and laboratory-tested performance of concrete produced with 20 wt% replacement of cement with powder waste glass (WG). Field investigations of WG concrete were carried out in a ...
Influence of Foundation Rigidity on the Structural Response of Mat Foundation
(Hindawi Limited, 2021)
A mat is a type of shallow foundation that is appropriate for structures supported on soil having relatively low bearing capacity or excessive settlement. Structural analysis of a mat foundation can be accomplished by ...
Evaluation of refined cement-based matrix systems for extrusion of wood fiber cement
(Elsevier, 2021)
Different cementitious matrix formulations incorporating various chemical, polymeric and mineral additives were evaluated for use in extruded fiber cement products. These alternative formulations were designed to enhance ...
Investigating Tensile Behavior of Sustainable Basalt–Carbon, Basalt–Steel, and Basalt–Steel-Wire Hybrid Composite Bars
(MDPI, 2021)
One of the main disadvantages of steel bars is rebar corrosion, especially when they are exposed to aggressive environmental conditions such as marine environments. One of the suggested ways to solve this problem is to use ...
Critical Review of the Evolution of Project Delivery Methods in the Construction Industry
(MDPI, 2021)
Selecting the appropriate project delivery method (PDM) is a very significant managerial decision that impacts the success of construction projects. This paper provides a critical review of related literature on the evolution ...
Performance of BFRP RC beams using high strength concrete
(Elsevier, 2021)
This research investigates the flexural behavior and serviceability performance of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) reinforced concrete (RC) beams cast with normal- and high-strength concretes (NSC and HSC). Carbon ...
Seismic risk quantification and GIS-based seismic risk maps for Dubai-UAE_Dataset
(Elsevier, 2021)
The data provided in this article quantifies the potential seismic losses in multi-story buildings located in Dubai, UAE. Besides, it developed GIS-based seismic risk maps, which form essential inputs towards the seismic ...
Modeling the Effects of Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy on Tumor Growth
(American Scientific Publishers, 2021)
Mathematical modeling has been used to simulate the interaction of chemotherapy and immunotherapy drugs intervention with the dynamics of tumor cells growth. This work studies the interaction of cells in the immune system, ...
Environmental Footprint and Economics of a Full-Scale 3D-Printed House
(MDPI, 2021)
3D printing, is a newly adopted technique in the construction sector with the aim to improve the economics and alleviate environmental impacts. This study assesses the eco-efficiency of 3D printing compared to conventional ...
