Research ArticleOpen accessDefect Classification of Reinforced Concrete Structures with Nondestructive Tests Using Statistical and Machine Learning MethodsSajjad Sayyar-Roudsari, Armaghan Shalbaftabar, Farshid Damirchilo et al.In this study, twelve reinforced concrete beams were constructed, each with specified dimensions and initial compressive strength. The beams were divided into four groups: A control group without any defect, a void group featuring a centrally located void, a corrosion group and a debonding group. The impact echo test was used for nondestructive testing, gathering data on compressive and shear … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 11 Jun 2024 · 5,258 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessUncrewed Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and Nature-Inspired Designed Robot DIGIT and SPOT: A ReviewMA Muktadir, Sun Yi, Sameer Hamoush et al.Researchers around the world are developing autonomous robot systems to assist humans with tedious, hazardous, complex, and time-consuming tasks. Today, autonomous robots are used for a variety of applications, ranging from delivering food to operating on patients. A robotic system can be operated with or without human assistance, depending on whether it is manned or unmanned. Additionally, the robot may … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2022 · 6,745 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAnalytical Study of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened by FRP Bars Subjected to Impact Loading ConditionsSajjad Roudsari, Sameer Hamoush, Sayed Soleimani et al.Civil engineers have considered Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials to enhance the performance of structural members subjected to static and dynamic loading conditions. However, there are some design limitations due to uncertainty in the behavior of such strengthened members. This fact is particularly important when considering the complex nature of the nonlinear behavior of materials, the impact loading conditions and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 Apr 2018 · 9,929 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessExperimental Evaluation of the Raking Energy in Damping System of Steel Stud Partition WallsSalah Amer, Sameer Hamoush, Taher M. Abu-LebdehNonstructural partition walls are usually specified based on the best practice without any structural design calculations. However, given the likely severe earthquake damage to nonstructural components and the substantial cost of repair to such components, it is imperative that we develop an understanding of the seismic response of the nonstructural partition walls when subjected to earthquake loading conditions. The main … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2015 · 7,640 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessFreezing and Thawing Durability of Very High Strength ConcreteSameer Hamoush, Miguel Picornell-Darder, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Ahmed MohamedProblem statement: The newly developed Very High Strength Concrete (VHSC), having compressive strengths of 29 ksi and flexural strengths of 6 ksi, represents a breakthrough in concrete technology. Study to further enhance the properties of this new concrete is continuing. Approach: The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of exposing Very High Strength Concrete (VHSC) specimens to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2011 · 8,817 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessHigh Rate-Dependent Interaction Diagrams for Reinforced Concrete ColumnsTaher Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer Hamoush, Wonchang Choi, Moayyad Al NasraProblem statement: There is a need to better understand the rate dependence behavior of reinforced concrete structures in order to improve their response to impact and blast loads. Analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures subjected to seismic loadings has been recommended in many FEMA guidelines. However, reevaluation of design becomes extremely important in cases where large deformations are expected … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 8,020 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessRate Effect on Pullout Behavior of Steel Fibers Embedded in Very-High Strength ConcreteTaher Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer Hamoush, Brian ZornigProblem statement: Rate dependence of the newly developed Very-High-Strength-Concrete (VHSC) composites has received little or no attention so far. Approach: In this research, the bond-slip mechanisms of four types of steel fibers embedded in VHSC matrices were investigated through single-fiber pullout tests with the loading rates and matrix strengths are the primary variables. This study presented the experimental results of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,438 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPullout Characterizations of Various Steel Fibers Embedded in Very High-Strength ConcreteSameer Hamoush, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Toney Cummins, Brian ZornigProblem statement: There is a real need for a fundamental understanding of bond and bond mechanisms in the newly developed Very-High-Strength-Concrete (VHSC) materials. The interfacial steel fiber/VHSC matrix bond tests are needed to characterize VHSC and to aid in the development of analytical models that describe bond behavior of this new material. Approach: This research investigated bond-slip characteristics of four … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,067 accessesView PDF Cite
