Sustainable Concrete Using Seawater, Recycled Aggregates, and Non Corrosive Reinforcement
(Civil Engineering, 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 ...
APPLICATION OF STEEL REINFORCED COMPOSITES FOR STRENGTHENING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS AND COLUMNS: EXPERIMENTAL, ANALYTICAL, NUMERICAL, AND MACHINE LEARNING BASED STUDIES
(Civil Engineering, 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 ...
The effect of water table fluctuation and hydrogeochemical properties on NAPLs natural attenuation
(Civil Engineering, 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 ...
TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER REUSE IN IRRIGATION OF FOOD CROPS BY UTILIZATION OF HYBRID MEMBRANE PROCESS AND MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLES
(Civil Engineering, 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 ...
BASALT FRP BARS: DURABILITY AND APPLICATIONS IN REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS
(Civil Engineering, 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. ...
Micromodel Study on Colloid Retention and Mobilization under different Geo-Chemical Conditions during Single and Two-Phase Flow
(Civil Engineering, 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 ...
Wave Propagation Identification of Viscoelastic and Metallic Mechanical Metamaterials
(Civil Engineering, 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 ...
MXENE BASED NANOCOMPOSITES FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE CAPACITIVE DEIONIZATION
(Civil Engineering, 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 ...
