    • Optimum Cutting Schedule Of Reinforcing Steel Bars 

      Senouci, Ahmed B.; El-Bahrawy, Aly N. ( Qatar University , 1999 , Article)
      Reinforcing steel bars are generally procured in standard lengths. The cutting of standard steel bars to the specified lengths usually yields an appreciable amount of steel waste. Minimization of steel waste problem is of ...

    • Optimum Design Of Concrete Slab Forms 

      Senouci, Ahmed B. ( Qatar University , 1996 , Article)
      This paper presents a design optimization method for concrete slab forms. This procedure was formulated to provide a safe slab form design with minimum cost. The proposed method considers in its design process the cost of ...

      Senouci, Ahmed B.; Abdul-Salam, M. Ayman ( Qatar University , 1998 , Article)
      This paper discusses the development and the implementation of a neural network for the depth prediction of singly-reinforced rectangular concrete beams. The procedure of the American Concrete Institute (ACI-318 1995) ...

    • Preliminary Design Of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Neural Networks 

      Senouci, Ahmed B. ( Qatar University , 2000 , Article)
      This paper presents a backpropagation neural network model for the preliminary design of rectangular concrete beams. The model, which is developed based on the strength design procedure of the American Concrete Institute ...

    • Structure Mixture Response Of Buildings Due To Simulated Earthquake Loading 

      Al Ansari, Mohammed S.; Senouci, Ahmed B. ( Qatar University , 2002 , Article)
      This paper presents two case studies to evaluate the performance of the structure mixture theory in the earthquake response analysis of buildings. In the first case study, the actual earthquake responses of the two-story ...

    • Teaching Structural Steel Design Using Mathcad Program 

      Senouci, Ahmed B. ( Qatar University , 2000 , Article)
      This paper demonstrates the integration of Mathcad programming in a steel design course at the University of Qatar. It discusses the advantages of Mathcad programming over other programming formats and provides guidelines ...
