The Effect of Surface Treatment of Basalt FRP Bars on the Shear Capacity of Oneway High-Strength Concrete Slabs
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Corrosion is a common condition encountered by steel reinforcing bars which has a considerable negative impact on the structural integrity of concrete structures. Nowadays, applying anti-corrosive composite materials such ...
Bond Performance of Near-Surface Mounted BFRP Bars to Concrete
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the test results of a study on the bond performance of near-surface mounted (NSM) basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars to concrete. Twelve C-shape concrete specimens were tested under direct ...
A Comparison between Natural Pozzolana and Fly Ash Replacements on the Mechanical Properties of Concrete
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
This study investigates the effect of Natural Pozzolana (NP) and Fly Ash (FA) substitutes on concrete's mechanical and microstructural properties. Mixes containing 10 - 50 % cement substitute ratios were prepared and tested ...
Shear capacity of reinforced concrete deep beams using genetic algorithm
(
IOP Publishing Ltd
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
It is vital to understand the shear behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) beams in order to avoid a catastrophic shear failure and design for ductile failure. However, due to the complexity in the shear failure mechanism ...
Experimental Investigation on the Flexural Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Treated Wastewater and Recycled Concrete Aggregates
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Eco-friendly concrete is the most recommended sustainable option to reduce the excessive diminution of concrete natural resources and the high generation of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the present study explores ...
