A NON-DESTRUCTIVE METHODOLOGY FOR LEAK DETECTION IN WATER NETWORKS USING INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY (IR) AND GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (GPR)
(Civil Engineering, 2016 , Master Thesis)
Two noninvasive and nondestructive methodologies for detecting leaks in water pipes were proposed and tested. The first method combines the use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for accurate determination of pipe location, ...
Strengthening of reinforced concrete beams With Textile- Reinforced mortars
(Civil Engineering, 2016 , Thesis)
This study involves an experimental work for using textile reinforced mortar (TRM) to increase the flexural strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Two different types of textiles namely carbon and Polyparaphenylene ...
Drained residual shear strength of fine-grained soils and soil-solid interfaces at low to medium effective normal stresses: Analyses and Applications
(Civil Engineering, 2016 , Master Thesis)
A laboratory research program was undertaken to study the large-strain shear strength characteristics of fine-grained soils under low effective normal stresses (~3 to 6 kPa). Soils that cover a wide range of plasticity and ...
