Abstract: Green concrete made with ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) has presented itself as a sustainable alternative to traditional concrete. Similarly, the noncorroding fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars ...

Abstract: Unfortunately, available probabilistic seismic hazard studies are reporting significantly varying estimates for seismicity of Dubai. Given Dubai’s rapid economic growth, it is crucial to assess the impact of the diverse ...

Abstract: Lightweight coarse aggregate from five sources found in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were previously evaluated. The evaluation focused on influence of the physical properties of the aggregates on strength development. ...

Abstract: An artificial intelligence model utilizing feedforward back-propagation (FFBP) and nonlinear autoregressive exogenous (NARX) artificial neural networks (ANNs) is presented to model the nonlinear behavior of buckling-restrained ...

Abstract: Glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP)-reinforced flat slabs offer a convenient construction option that is both simple to build and highly resistant to corrosion. The relatively low thickness of the floor plates and absence ...

Abstract: Being in proximity of high-seismicity regions, Dubai and United Arab Emirates (UAE) in general are characterized by a high level of seismic hazard uncertainty. This study presents a seismic risk quantification for the ...

Abstract: Although ground motion duration significantly influences structural response, there is a lack of accurate prediction models for ground motion duration. Ground motion duration plays a vital role in structural response during ...
