Micro shear bands: Precursor for strain localization in sheared granular materials
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
Recent studies have shown that detection of the onset and evolution of micro shear bands (MSBs) in granular materials can be improved using measurements of the kinematic behavior of particles. Different methods such as the ...
Characteristics of olive mill solid residue and its application in remediation of Pb2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ from aqueous solution: Mechanistic study
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
This study investigated the use of untreated olive mill solid residues (OMSR) as a solid extractant for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ ions from aqueous solution. It was shown that the solution initial pH value affected the metal ...
Post-repair flexural performance of corrosion-damaged beams rehabilitated with fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM)
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This paper presents the results of a research program examining the post-repair flexural response of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams repaired with different FRCM systems. A total of nine RC beams were ...

(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2014 , Article)
To bid or not to bid for construction projects is a crucial strategic decision for contractors' sustainability in the industry. The high complexity and uncertainty associated with such a decision-making process, which ...
Synthesis and characterization of cobalt hydroxide carbonate nanostructures
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Battery-type electrodes of three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical cobalt hydroxide carbonate arrays on Ni foam were fabricated using a hydrothermal method for use in supercapacitors. X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning ...
A review of fouling mechanisms, control strategies and real-time fouling monitoring techniques in forward osmosis
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article Review)
Forward osmosis has gained tremendous attention in the field of desalination and wastewater treatment. However, membrane fouling is an inevitable issue. Membrane fouling leads to flux decline, can cause operational problems ...
Disruption factor of asphalt mixtures
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2012 , Article)
Typically, aggregate gradation is selected to meet Superpave mix design specification; however, many Superpave mixtures have exhibited deficient field performance. The porosity of the dominant aggregate size range (DASR), ...
Cost benefit analysis for failure of sewer pipelines
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Sewer pipelines failure in sewage networks can have adverse potential impacts on socio-economic aspects in any community. Due to the fact that it's difficult to capture the relationship between the physical and economical ...
