Effects of Autonomous Vehicles on the Signalized Intersections’ Performance
(2021-07)Traffic congestion is one of the main problems facing major urban cities around the world. Traffic delays at traffic signals are causing significant loss of productive time. The introduction of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) ... -
Effects of BIM in Enhancing Prefabricated Construction
(2021-12)The use of prefabricated construction is not new in the industry. However, recent advances in digital technology, predominantly Building Information Modelling (BIM), has created renewed momentum for extensive use of this ... -
Effects of Integrated Project Delivery and Information Communication Technology On Project Success
(2021-12)Project delivery systems are considered one of the most critical factors influencing project success. The downside of traditional methods is that they promote fragmentation, thus putting the main entities (stakeholders) ... -
The Effects of Local Aggregates on the Mechanical Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC)
(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 ... -
Estimating the Impact of Combined Horizontal and Vertical Curves on Drivers’ Perception
(2019-11)Highway design focuses on providing safe facilities and smooth mobility on road networks. The increasing rate in highway accidents’ fatalities resulted in an increasing demand for evaluating and improving highway design ... -
Evaluating the factors affecting microplastic removal from synthetic leachate via electrocoagulation
(2023-11)The ubiquitous presence of microplastics in the environment has raised concerns over their impact on human, environmental and ecological health. Landfill leachate, which is the highly toxic wastewater produced in landfills, ... -
Evaluating the Structural Performance and Durability of CNT and Polyethylene Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
(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
(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 fiber reinforced polymer bars under compression: experiments and finite element simulations
(2020-11)The behavior of Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) bars under compression is not fully understood yet due to the limited research in this area; therefore, American concrete institute (ACI) does not recommend using FRP bars ... -
