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 ...
A Deployment Optimization Model for Wimax Base-Stations
(2011-06)
Telecommunication technologies are growing rapidly due to the highly demanding markets for different telecom services and applications. Wireless solutions are essential in places where cable infrastructure does not exist, ...
Meta-Heuristic Procedures for the Multi-Resource Leveling Problem with Activity Splitting
(2011-04)
The proper utilization of resources is important to achieve project success. In project management, there are two types of resource scheduling problems. The first is resource allocation in which activities are scheduled ...
Numerical Study of Localization Failure in Structural Steel Under Impact Loading
(2011-10)
High quality steels are used as a skeleton supporting many infrastructure constructions like, for example, skyscrapers, arenas, stadiums, bridges and others. The likelihood that these structures could be severely damaged ...
The Translation of Lexical Collocations in Literary Texts
(2011-06)
Collocations are a fascinating linguistic phenomenon in language and in translation. Collocations reflect the linguistic, stylistic and cultural features of texts. Therefore, the importance of collocations, generally in ...
Novel Near-Field Microwave Testing Method for Outdoor Insulators
(2011-06)
Outdoor insulators are very vital in providing energized overhead lines mechanical support and electrical insulation from grounded structures. Insulators can be divided according to the material they are made of into glass, ...
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 ...
Characterization and Modeling of Damage in Steel at Different Strain Rates
(2011-01)
The structural behavior of steel, as many structural materials, changes during deformation processes under complex mechanical loadings. The damage process may start at some point in the deformation process in the form of ...
