Behavior of Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) Under Different Loading Conditions
(2012-06)Concrete Filled Steel Tubes (CFSTs) were used in construction in the early 1900's. However, the research into CFSTs did not begin until the 1960s. From that time onwards, several studies were conducted on the CFSTs to fully ... -
Behavior of FRP-RC Columns Using BFRP Ties under Concentric Loading
(2019-12)Several studies have investigated the use of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) rebars in reinforced concrete (RC) flexural members. However, not enough depth of understanding is currently available with regards to their use ... -
Behavior of RC Beams Strengthened with CFRP Laminates Under Fire - A Finite Element Simulation
(2011-03)For the last two decades, the use of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) material has been successfully employed in many civil engineering applications. FRP strengthening systems are mainly used to retrofit existing and deficient ... -
Behavioral Modeling of RF Power Amplifiers Using Reduced Sampling Rate
(2018-11)The increasing demands for high data rates on wireless communication systems necessitate the enhancement of those systems in terms of software and hardware requirements. This creates real complications in designing power ... -
Behaviour of Shear Deficient Reinforced Concrete Beams with Externally Bonded Aluminum Plates
(2012-06)Enhancing the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams was done using many different ways and materials. Steel and Fiber reinforced polymers are the most common materials used to strengthen RC beams in shear. ... -
