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 ...
Functions of fuzzy logic based controllers used in smart building
(Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science, 2022)
The main aim of this study is to support design and development processes of advanced fuzzy-logic-based controller for smart buildings e.g., heating, ventilation and air conditioning, heating, ventilation and air conditioning ...
Estimation of the fracture parameters of macro fiber-reinforced concrete based on nonlinear elastic fracture mechanics simulations
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
Integration of macro synthetic fibers within the concrete mixture provides residual tensile strength and toughness characteristics. Majority of existing studies in this regard focus on the impact of fibers on improving ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effective Microorganisms and Glass Nanopowders from Waste Bottle Inclusion on Early Strength and Microstructure Properties of High-Volume Fly-Ash-Based Concrete
(MDPI, 2022)
In concrete production, the use of high-volume fly ash (FA) as the cement substitute became interesting to achieve more sustainable and eco-friendly construction materials. However, concrete produced using high volumes of ...
