Achieve high ductility and strength in an Al-Mg alloy by severe plastic deformation combined with inter-pass annealing
( Elsevier B.V. , 2014 , Article)Metallic materials processed by severe plastic deformation generally possess very high strength but a rather low uniform elongation, usually <5%. In the present Al-7Mg alloy processed by room temperature equal channel ... -
Experimental Investigation on the Flexural Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Treated Wastewater and Recycled Concrete Aggregates
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Eco-friendly concrete is the most recommended sustainable option to reduce the excessive diminution of concrete natural resources and the high generation of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the present study explores ... -
Flexural behavior of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete slab strips reinforced with BFRP and GFRP bars
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)This research investigates experimentally and analytically a novel one-way slab system reinforced with either basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) or glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) longitudinal bars embedded in ... -
Fractional factorial design model for seismic performance of RC bridge piers retrofitted with steel-reinforced polymer composites
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)This study explores the effects of key design parameters on the performance of seismically deficient rectangular cross-section reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers strengthened with steel-reinforced polymer (SRP) composites. ... -
Inexpensive strengthening technique for partially loaded reinforced concrete beams: Experimental study
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2015 , Article)This paper constitutes a special importance for developing countries where an affordable trowel-based strengthening system is needed. This paper also provides an affordable strengthening solution when it is not possible ... -
Performance of corrosion-aged Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams rehabilitated with Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM)
( International Committee of the SCMT conferences , 2016 , Conference Paper)This paper reports on the feasibility of using fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems to rehabilitate corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Seven large-scale RC beams were constructed and tested ... -
Soffit and U-Wrap fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix strengthening for reinforced concrete beams
( American Concrete Institute , 2019 , Article)The structural performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) was investigated. Fourteen unstrengthened and strengthened beams were tested in flexure under ... -
Structural performance and moment redistribution of basalt FRC continuous beams reinforced with basalt FRP bars
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)This study investigated the structural performance and moment redistribution of basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) continuous beams reinforced with basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRP) bars. A total of 10 reinforced ... -
Utilizing Recycled Polypropylene Fibers as Reinforcement for Concrete Beams
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Polypropylene (PP) fibers are among numerous plastic waste materials, which are generated by the different industrial and domestic activities. Due to its low biodegradability, plastic waste constitutes a real environmental ...
