Bond and shear-strengthening performance of FRCM composites
( ISEC Press , 2019 , Conference Paper)This paper is aimed at studying the bond and shear-strengthening performance of fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems. Three FRCM systems were compared, namely, polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole (PBO)-FRCM, ... -
Bond characteristics of different FRCM systems
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites are usually applied on the concrete surface for the purpose of strengthening reinforced concrete structures. The efficiency of FRCM as a strengthening ... -
Different FRCM systems for shear-strengthening of reinforced concrete beams
( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)This paper presents the results of an extensive experimental study on the efficacy of different fabric-reinforced cementitous matrix (FRCM) systems for the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams, which are critical ... -
Dynamic Forces Induced by a Single Pedestrian: A Literature Review
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2017 , Article)With the use of lighter construction materials, more slender architectural designs, and open floor plans resulting in low damping, vibration serviceability has become a dominant design criterion for structural engineers ... -
Dynamic Testing of a Laboratory Stadium Structure
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Studies with large physical models are a vital link between the theoretical work and field applications provided that these models are designed to represent real structures where various types and levels of uncertainties ... -
Effects of Using Seawater and Recycled Coarse Aggregates on Plain Concrete Characteristics
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Using seawater and/or recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) for concrete mixing is deemed advantageous from a sustainability perspective. This paper reports on the results of an experimental study on fresh and hardened properties ... -
Extraction of Vehicle Turning Trajectories at Signalized Intersections Using Convolutional Neural Networks
( SpringerLink , 2020 , Article)This paper aims at developing a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based tool that can automatically detect the left-turning vehicles (right-hand traffic rule) at signalized intersections and extract their trajectories ... -
Life cycle cost analysis of structural concrete using seawater, recycled concrete aggregate, and GFRP reinforcement
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Using seawater and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in a concrete mix is potentially advantageous from a sustainability perspective. However, the high chloride levels expected in such a case demands ... -
Long-Term Cost Performance of Corrosion-Resistant Reinforcements in Structural Concrete
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Corrosion, which leads to the premature deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, is increasingly an issue of global concern. Accordingly, corrosion-resistant materials have emerged as alternative reinforcement ... -
Microstructure investigation of seawater vs. Freshwater cement pastes
( ISEC Press , 2019 , Conference Paper)Recently, seawater has emerged as viable mixing water for concrete, especially in the case of non-reinforced concrete applications or with the use of non-corrosive reinforcement. Previous studies concerning seawater-mixed ... -
Strength, shrinkage, and permeability performance of seawater concrete
( ISEC Press , 2019 , Conference Paper)Given the increasing global concern of freshwater scarcity, the use of seawater in concrete mixtures appears to be a way forward towards achieving sustainable concrete, especially in the case of non-reinforced concrete ... -
Sustainable Concrete Using Seawater, Recycled Aggregates, and Non Corrosive Reinforcement
(2020 , Dissertation)Using seawater and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in a concrete mix is potentially advantageous from a sustainability perspective. However, the high chloride levels expected in such a concrete mix demands the use of ... -
Tensile characterization of multi-ply fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix strengthening systems
( Wiley-Blackwell , 2019 , Article)Fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) is a composite consisted of high-strength fibers impregnated in a cement-based mortar, and is commonly used for strengthening reinforced concrete and masonry structures. ...
