Behavior of artificially corroded RC beams strengthened with CFRP and hybrid CFRP-GFRP laminates
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Steel corrosion is a major degradation factor for the reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure and necessitates a costly repair after short service life. Predicting the strength of corroded and retrofitted structural elements ...
Numerical simulation of the fracture and compression response of self-healing concrete containing engineered aggregates
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The existing self-healing concretes that rely on capsules require modifications to one or more traditional concrete mixing, placing, and consolidating methods. Additionally, concrete mixture designs need alterations to ...
Microstructure and mechanical behavior of cementitious composites with multi-scale additives
(
Techno Press
, 2021 , Article)
This paper studies the effect of using multi-scale reinforcement additives on mechanical strengths, damage performance, microstructure, and water absorption of cementitious composites. Small dosages of carbon nanotubes ...
Carbon Nanotubes Dosage Optimization for Strength Enhancement of Cementitious Composites
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Concrete is the most common used material for construction in Qatar as well as in the world. Exposure to sever environmental conditions causes physical deterioration of concrete structures and significantly affect the ...
The role of polypropylene microfibers in thermal properties and post-heating behavior of cementitious composites
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2020 , Article)
This paper experimentally studied the effect of polypropylene (PP) microfibers on thermal and post-heating mechanical behaviors of cementitious composites. Cement mortars with small dosage of polypropylene fibers were ...
Influence of carbon nanotubes on phase composition, thermal and post-heating behavior of cementitious composites
