ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE ACTION OF PRECAST HOLLOW CORE SLABS AND CAST IN PLACE MESH REINFORCED CONCRETE TOPPING
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2019-09)Considering composite action of hollow core slab with cast in place mesh reinforced concrete topping helps to provide longer hollow core slabs and reduces the overall weight of the structure. Research has shown that ... -
Analyzing the structural cost, performance, and flexibility in the terminal design of Mumbai Airport
(The British University in Dubai, 2018-09)The recent growth in the aviation industry has led to the highest necessity for the development in designing the airports. Statistics are available for a few airports, but there is no comprehensive base of information on ... -
ASSESMENT OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS DETERIORATED IN SEMI ARID ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2022-10)Deterioration of concrete is a prominent occurrence that happens due to several factors surrounding a structure making the place inhabitable with a risk to life and property. These factors and the impact of deterioration ... -
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 ... -
Comparison and Critique review of Durability Provisions and Design Requirements of Various International Design Codes and Standards.
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2022-09)Codes and standards establish a standardized language and set of rules for building design, construction, and operation. Such codes and standards have long been the primary mechanism used by governments to establish ... -
Comparison between the American code ASCE7-16 and the Australian code AS1170.4 against the seismic design effects
(The British University in Dubai, 2018-11)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 ... -
Comparison between theoretical and practical compression capacities of deep / long piles
(The British University in Dubai, 2017-11)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 ... -
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, ... -
A Correlation between Theoretical and Actual Column Shortening and Lateral Sway in a Vertically Asymmetric High-Rise Concrete Building
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2016-11)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 ... -
Critical Review of Reinforced Concrete Design Codes and Their Relevance to the United Arab Emirates
