Affordable Housing in Palestine: Proceedings of the International Conference on Affordable Housing in Palestine, Birzeit, November 1-3, 1996
(Faculty of Engineering, Birzeit University, 1996) -
ASSESSMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY PRACTICE IN PALESTINE BASED ON THE DESIGN FOR CONSTRUCTION SAFETY (DFCS) CONCEPT
(2012)Construction industry is characterized by poor safety performance subjecting workers at sites to great risks. Safety risks can be minimized, not only by improving safety measures at site but also by considering safety ... -
Behavior of beams strengthened with steel fiber RC overlays
(Japan Concrete Institute, 2009)Strengthening of reinforced concrete beams using steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) overlays has been investigated in the test program described in this paper. Two methods have been used to connect the overlays to the ... -
Codes, standards and regulation in Palestine
(1997)This paper identifies the existing codes of practice, standards and regulations (CSR) in Palestine and their inter-relationships. CSR related to rural and urban construction are emphasised. Current practices in the ... -
Decision Analysis for Housng-Project Development
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)The implementation of an effective decision-making process for reducing the cost of housing can solve a significant part of the housing problems in countries with limited resources. Important cost-influencing factors are ... -
Engineering properties of concrete made with ground melamine-formaldehyde thermosetting plastics as sand replacement'
(2002)Solid waste which is not properly managed causes serious health and environment hazards. The reuse of waste will assist in the protection of human health and environment. The research work described in this paper aimed at ... -
Enhancing concrete strength and thermal insulation using thermoset plastic waste
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2008)Structural concrete is the most frequently used construction material in the world because of its known advantageous characteristics. However, concrete has some limitations, such as its low tensile strength, low ... -
Flexural behavior of beams with confinement
(1995)The principal aim of this paper is to examine, both theoretically and experimentally, the flexural behavior of structural concrete beams in which confinement stirrups have been introduced into the compression regions. The ... -
Handbook on Urban Sustainability
(Springer, 2007)A PARAMOUNT CONCEPT The following article, authored by Mathis Wackernagel et al, illustrates the Ecological Footprint concept developed by William Rees and Mathis Wackernagel (1996). This is a fundamental concept to measure ... -
Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis of RC Beams With Special Detailing of Stirrups
(Islamic University, 2003)1 ABSTRACT The paper includes the development and application of a non-linear finite element model for studying the structural behavior of beams designed using a flexure-shear interaction model. A two-dimensional material ... -
Prevention of diagonal tension failures in beams using a flexure—shear interaction approach
(Thomas Telford Ltd, 1999)The development of a flexure–shear interaction design model for the prevention of the diagonal tension failure in beams is described in this paper. The model is based on the understanding that failure of structural concrete ... -
Proceedings of the International Conference on Engineering and City Development: 22-23 September, 2003, Gaza, Palestine
(Faculty of Engineering, Islamic University of Gaza, 2003) -
Proposed changes to flexural design in BS 8110 to allow over-reinforced sections to fail in a ductile manner
(Thomas Telford Ltd, 2000)The provisions for flexural design contained in BS 8110 have been reviewed in the context of introducing improvements in the level of ductility that can be achieved in structural concrete sections. Increased ductility will ... -
Repair and Strengthening of Slabs Using Bonded Concrete Overlays
(IABSE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR BRIDGE, 1998) -
Shear and flexural strengths resulting from confinement of the compression regions in circular section structural concrete beams
(Thomas Telford Ltd, 1993)This paper examines the effect of confinement of the compression regions on the behaviour of structural concrete beams with circular cross-sections. The programme of experimental work included eight 200 mm diameter beams ... -
Strategic implementation of infrastructure priority projects: case study in Palestine
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)A strategy was developed for implementation and management of multisector urban infrastructure projects. The strategy includes risk-based analytical hierarchy process (AHP) for project prioritization that is based on project ...
