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 ...

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 ...

The Introduction of the concept of BIM into the construction industry, have made significant changes to the working standards and workflow pattern. This thesis examines the said changes in comparison to the traditional ...

Due to rapid urbanization, the construction of tall towers has become common in all the metro cities. The column loads from the towers will be very high depending on the height of the tower and they require very efficient ...

Engineering is a professional art of applying science to the efficient conversion of natural resources for the benefit of man. Engineering, therefore, requires above all creative imagination to the innovative, useful ...

The United Arab Emirates, is a home to structural engineers from different nations who hold expertise in their regional building concrete design codes. Since the 1980’s and 1990’s The British Standard (BS 8110) and the ...

The rate of build of high-rise buildings has accelerated rapidly, especially in the Arabian Gulf, over the last few decades, due to rapid urbanization and significant improvements in the field of the high-rise construction ...

The deterioration of reinforced concrete in building structures due to factors such as aging, reinforcement corrosion, humidity and oxidation, and freeze-thaw events, had imposed a great deal of stresses on these structures. ...

The consideration of columns shortening in high-rise buildings becomes more complex and needs more attention when the building is vertically asymmetric. The inherent complexity is attributed to the dramatically unequally ...
