Stability charts for uniform slopes in soils with nonlinear failure envelopes
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Based on the results of an extensive parametric study, charts were developed for assessment of the stability of uniform slopes in soils with nonlinear shear strength failure envelopes. The study was conducted using envelopes ...
Blind identification of the Millikan Library from earthquake data considering soil-structure interaction
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
The Robert A. Millikan Library is a reinforced concrete building with a basement level and nine stories above the ground. Located on the campus of California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena California, it is ...
Drift optimization of high-rise buildings in earthquake zones
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2011 , Article)
This paper presents a Drift Design Structural Model (DDSM) for the design optimization of high-rise buildings in seismic zones. The model is formulated as a Generalized Single Degree of Freedom System subjected to equivalent ...
Modelling the degradation of vibration characteristics of reinforced concrete beams due to flexural damage
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
This paper presents an improved crack model incorporating non-linearity of flexural damage in concrete to reproduce changes in vibration properties of cracked reinforced concrete beams. A reinforced concrete beam model ...
Classification tree analysis of factors affecting parking choices in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Qatar has experienced a significant population growth in the past decade. The growth has been accompanied by an increase in automobile ownership rates leading to parking problems especially in the capital city of Doha. The ...
Condition prediction models for oil and gas pipelines using regression analysis
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2014 , Article)
Although they are the safest means of transporting oil and gas products, pipelines can sometimes fail with hazardous consequences and large business losses. The decision to replace, repair, or rehabilitate depends mainly ...
Flexural and interfacial behavior of externally bonded/ mechanically fastened fiber-reinforced polymer-strengthened reinforced concrete beams
(
American Concrete Institute
, 2014 , Article)
The determination of structural behavior requires advanced numerical methods, of which results are substantiated by credible experimental findings. This research aims to create precise finite element models for fiber-reinforced ...
Characteristics of olive mill solid residue and its application in remediation of Pb2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ from aqueous solution: Mechanistic study
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
This study investigated the use of untreated olive mill solid residues (OMSR) as a solid extractant for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ ions from aqueous solution. It was shown that the solution initial pH value affected the metal ...
Numerical modeling of shear strengthened reinforced concrete beams using different systems
(
American Society of Civil Engineers
, 2014 , Article)
This research aims at creating finite-element models for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) shear strengthened concrete beams. It is inspired by the fact that the determination of the structural behavior of shear strengthened ...
Uptake of Reactive Black 5 by pumice and walnut activated carbon: Chemistry and adsorption mechanisms
(
Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry
, 2014 , Article)
The potential of using pumice and walnut wood activated carbon as low-cost adsorbents for the removal of the diazo dye Reactive Black 5 (RB5) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The Langmuir isotherm fit to the data ...
