APPLICATION OF STEEL REINFORCED COMPOSITES FOR STRENGTHENING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS AND COLUMNS: EXPERIMENTAL, ANALYTICAL, NUMERICAL, AND MACHINE LEARNING BASED STUDIES
(06-2 , Dissertation)The use of steel reinforced composites (SRC) has emerged as a cost-effective and promising solution for the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The strengthening system in SRC comprises a unidirectional ... -
BASALT FRP BARS: DURABILITY AND APPLICATIONS IN REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS
(2023 , Dissertation)This dissertation is designed to examine the durability characteristics of basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRP) bars under severe environmental conditions that are usually encountered in civil engineering structures. ... -
The effect of water table fluctuation and hydrogeochemical properties on NAPLs natural attenuation
(2023 , Dissertation)Human activities have recently resulted in the degradation and contamination of groundwater. Petroleum spills, such as crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel, are a major source of groundwater contamination, especially along ... -
Micromodel Study on Colloid Retention and Mobilization under different Geo-Chemical Conditions during Single and Two-Phase Flow
(2020 , Dissertation)Understanding the transport of colloids and colloid-facilitated transport of contaminants is essential for efficient cleanup and remediation processes. Various factors and mechanisms contributing to their retention in the ... -
MXENE BASED NANOCOMPOSITES FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE CAPACITIVE DEIONIZATION
(2024 , Dissertation)MXene is considered as a superior electrode material for capacitive deionization (CDI) due to its high conductivity and two-dimensional structure. However, the electrochemical performance of pristine MXene nanosheets has ... -
STRUCTURAL AND DURABILITY PERFORMANCE OF SUSTAINABLE FIBER-REINFORCED CONCRETE UTILIZING RECYCLED CONCRETE POWDER AND BASALT FRP BARS.
(2024 , Dissertation)Recycled concrete powder (RCP), obtained from further processing of construction and demolition waste (CDW), presents an abundant material and holds promise as an alternative to conventional supplementary cementitious ... -
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 ... -
TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER REUSE IN IRRIGATION OF FOOD CROPS BY UTILIZATION OF HYBRID MEMBRANE PROCESS AND MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLES
(2023 , Dissertation)Wastewater reuse could relieve the global water scarcity issue when applied in the agriculture industry however, the wastewater shall be treated to ensure that the water quality meets the irrigation water quality. In this ... -
Wave Propagation Identification of Viscoelastic and Metallic Mechanical Metamaterials
(2021 , Dissertation)Mechanical Metamaterials (MMs) are artificially engineered composites which have unconventional mechanical properties that stem from their microstructural geometry rather than from their chemical composition. Several studies ...
