Evaluation of the Bond and Tensile Strength of GFRP Bars Exposed to Harsh Environment
(2014-01)
Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) have become one of the fastest-emerging materials to compete with conventional steel bars for use in concrete. The mechanical properties and durability of FRP materials are the main concerns ...
Finite Element-Based Parametric Analysis of Mat Foundations
(2016-04)
Raft or mat foundation is a thick reinforced concrete slab covering the entire contact area of the structure and supporting heavy loads from superstructure to a large area of soil. This type of foundation is employed in ...
Designing a Flexible and Reconfigurable Manufacturing System Considering a Circular Shaped Layout
(2018-05)
Production demands are constantly changing at a fast pace. The demand for a shorter life cycle and customized products makes it more difficult for factories to adapt. To stay competitive, factories need to be flexible in ...
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 ...
Power Characteristics of Selective Buried Oxide MOSFET
(2016-01)
Power dissipation is an important factor in electronic circuit design due to the decreasing feature size of microelectronic devices, high clock frequencies, and large die size, as well as the growing number of mobile, ...
Data Communication through Distribution Network for Smart Grid Applications
(2014-05)
This work investigates a novel solution for overcoming excessive signal attenuation in distribution transformers for power line communication (PLC) applications in smart grids. The proposed solution avoids classical hardware ...
Dynamics of Chemotherapeutic Drug Release from Liposomes Using Low-Frequency Ultrasound
(2015-01)
This thesis focuses on the study of liposomes; nanoparticles that can act as anticancer drug carriers, in combination with ultrasound applied as a drug trigger, with the objective of reducing the side effects caused by ...
Seismic Risk Assessment of Buildings in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
(2013-06)
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is generally known to be a region of low seismicity despite being in close proximity to active seismic zones. However, recent moderate earthquakes that occurred within the UAE highlighted the ...
