Study of Life Cycle Cost Analysis and Value Engineering and their use in UAE
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2021-06)When planning a project, the main stakeholders' concern is always about the potential for failures, defects, delays, overruns, and conflicts that the project might face. According to studies and statistics, most projects ... -
Comparison of the Provisions of ACI318-19 Code and Eurocode on the Structural Design and Cost Analysis, of a High-rise Concrete Building Subjected to Seismic & Wind Forces
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2021-05)This work aims to compare two codes; ACI 318-19 and Eurocode in terms of lateral effect on high-rise building, focusing on the seismic and wind provisions, and since these two forces effect the structural elements geometry, ... -
Seismic strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Structures using External Lateral Post Tensioning
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2021-04)The constructions of buildings before the 1970s where not in coherence with the seismic design or any type of seismic codes hence the buildings have to be investigated and do the necessary strengthening to withstand the ... -
Horizontal Shear Strength at the Interface of the Concrete Beams Cast in Two Time Stages
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2020-12)Composite concrete is a method of construction that uses both precast and cast in situ concrete to produce a structural element. In framing big slabs areas, the use of precast slabs and beams is being an economical way of ... -
The behavior of Tapered High Strength Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) Column connected to Encased Steel Reinforced Concrete Composite (SRC) Column
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2020-06)The use of Convectional Concrete Column is often limited in high-rise Buildings due to the constraint from the architects on increasing size of the columns, so the composite columns provide appropriate solution to satisfy ... -
Structural use of composite materials
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2020-10)The construction world is changing daily. Research on new materials that can be used to replace traditional ones has been aggressive. The fibre-reinforced polymer is one of the new technologies that has been adopted in the ... -
The Influence of the Alkaline Activator on the Life Cycle Assessment of Alkaline Activated Natural Pozzolan Geopolymers Concrete
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2020-07)This paper studies the effectiveness of replacing cement in concrete with natural pozzolan, originated from Saudi Arabia, on the reduction of the harmful gasses, carbon dioxide equivalent gases, during the production ... -
THERMAL EFFECTS OF UNDERGROUND CARPARK STRUCTURE A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF UNDERGROUND CAR PARK CONCRETE BUILDINGS IN DUBAI - UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2020-02)The underground car park buildings considered as an ideal solution for the parking spaces in urban area, and it is more commonly used when the land values are high. So, the main intention to have a durable and economical ... -
ADAPTATION OF BIM WORKFLOW IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING PROJECTS & THE NEED TO ESTABLISH A NATIONAL BIM STANDARD
