Harmonizing smart technologies with building resilience and sustainable built environment systems
(Elsevier B.V., 2024-06)Given the escalating concerns posed by climate change-related disasters, there is an urgent need for a more sustainable and resilient built environment. The developing digital revolution in recent years has the potential ... -
Hybrid CFRP-steel for enhancing the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams
(King Saud University, 2020)Hybrid use of Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites with conventional construction materials offers an ample opportunity to develop economical and high-performance structures. However, anchoring and debonding ... -
Innovative model for accurate prediction of the transfer length of prestressing strands based on artificial neural networks: Case study
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)This study provides a case study showing the effectiveness of utilizing Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in prestressed concrete. The effectiveness of prestressing is crucially linked to the transfer length (TL) of the ... -
Mathematical Modelling for Predicting Thermal Properties of Selected Limestone
(MDPI, 2022)Due to a lack of geotechnical and geothermal studies on Jordanian limestone, this paper aims to provide the thermal properties, including thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat, using the Hot Disk ... -
New approach for predicting the load-displacement curve of axially loaded piles in sand
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022)A relationship to predict the load-displacement curve for axially loaded piles in sandy soil is presented by using the tri-linear softening model to describe the shaft load-displacement relationships, as well as a bi-linear ... -
NLFEA of Sulfate-Damaged Circular CFT Steel Columns Confined with CFRP Composites and Subjected to Axial and Cyclic Lateral Loads
(MDPI, 2022)It is rather costly and difficult to experimentally evaluate the performance of concrete-filled tubular (CFT) circular steel columns exposed to combined axial and cyclic lateral loads. This research paper uses the nonlinear ... -
Predicting the contribution of recycled aggregate concrete to the shear capacity of beams without transverse reinforcement using artificial neural networks
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)Although many researchers have studied the shear and flexural behavior of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) beams, code provisions have not been modified yet to take RAC into account. Therefore, the slow development of ... -
Readjusting the climate change hyperfocus: how expanding the scope of impact categories will affect the evaluation of wood buildings
(Institute of Physics, 2023)The sole focus on reducing the climate impact of dwellings by using wood is neglecting other impacts on nature. Therefore, this study clarifies the potential burden shift by considering ten more impact categories than ... -
Response of interior beam-column connections integrated with various schemes of CFRP composites
(Elsevier, 2021)This study evaluates the effectiveness of integrating Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites for improving the response of interior Beam-Column (B-C) connections under the combined effects of axial and lateral ... -
Solar assisted cooling rule in indoor air quality
(Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science, 2020)Indoor air quality as always is the centre of attention for researchers, architect developers and public health officials. As every-one know. The human exposure to a variety of indoor pollutants and the high cost of energy ... -
Sonicated waves procedure effect on stabilizing expansive soil by nano-clay: Treat with cause
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)The use of hydrophilic bentonite nanoclay to improve the geotechnical properties of expansive soils was studied. Sonic waves and manual mixing for two expansive soils (taken from two different locations in Jordan) were ... -
Stabilization of Sandy Soils by Bentonite Clay Slurry at Laboratory Bench and Pilot Scales
(MDPI, 2022)Sand is one of the most abundant, naturally occurring materials in many parts of the world, which is used in local rural areas in infrastructure projects such as in the construction of low volume paved and unpaved road ... -
Towards increased adoption of furnace bottom ash as sustainable building materials: Characterization, standardization, and applications
(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-04)The global demand for coal is projected to increase in the current decade despite concerns regarding climate change, which will lead to an increasing volume of coal waste products such as furnace bottom ash (FBA). The ...
