Design development of aggregates cooling systems for hot weather concreting
( Springer Netherlands , 2015 , Article)Using hot aggregates, in concrete production, results in a drop in compressive strength of the produced concrete. Various methods have been proposed for cooling concrete aggregates. This paper proposes new two designs for ... -
Modeling and Parametric Study of the Reanchorage of Ruptured Tendons in Bonded Posttensioned Concrete
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2017 , Article)The contribution of ruptured tendons to the residual strength of bonded posttensioned concrete structures is currently assessed based on pretensioned concrete bond models. However, this approach is inaccurate due to the ... -
Numerical Study on the Pullout Behavior of Steel Fibers in Cement-Based Composites
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)The interaction between steel fiber and surrounding cement-based matrix and concrete materials is crucial in the behavior of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (SFRC). This interaction is generally measured through a single ... -
Optimization of energy pile conductance using finite element and fractional factorial design of experiment
( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Book chapter)In Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP), Energy Piles pose as heat exchangers that transfer the heat from the buildings to the shallow ground lower temperature in order to decrease the energy consumption whilst cooling the ... -
Reducing railway-induced ground-borne vibration by using open trenches and soft-filled barriers
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)A trench can act as a barrier to ground vibration and is a potential mitigation measure for low frequency vibration induced by surface railways. However, to be effective at very low frequencies the depth required becomes ...
