Plastics are low cost, lightweight, and many uses material. As result, increase in plastic led to the environmental pollution. So, this incited the researchers to use the plastic in concrete to produce sustainable concrete. In this paper, experimental work was presented to investigate the behavior of columns with and without waste fibers polyethyle...

Observations of past earthquakes as well as numerical and experimental studies have confirmed the acceptable performance of Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSW). Although the SPSW has a number of advantages, it has two major flaws: low elastic-buckling capacity of the infill plate and significant stresses generated by the infill plate on the boundary col...

Despite the considerable advantages of the Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW), this system suffers from two shortcomings; the imposed large stresses from the infill plate to the boundary columns and the low elastic bucking capacity of the infill plate. Although several techniques have been proposed to solve this problem, they have their own limitations....

The exposure of concrete or cement mortars to fire or other elevated temperatures negatively affects the mechanical properties, and a change may also occur in the pore structures, leading to cracking and spalling. In order to hinder or reduce the negative impact of elevated temperature on cement mortar, as well as to promote reuse of waste in the c...

Waste and by-product materials have a negative impact on the environment due to the pollution associated with them. The conversion of these materials from useless or harmful to valuable substances by, for example, incorporating them into concrete, can thus be considered to be an issue worthy of consideration in the search to reduce this impact. Thi...

The architectural designer likely tends to provide more space for one or more storey inside the multi-storey building by means of many methods; one of them by using floating columns, which means the end of any vertical element rest on a beam that leads to discontinuity of columns in such type of multi-storey buildings. So it has been used shear wal...

The overall objective of this study was to use field spectro-radiometers for finding possible spectral regions for some physical and chemical parameters, The study area was divided into 20 stations on part of the Euphrates River, in Hilla city taking samples and studying the physical and chemical parameters and compared them with the standard speci...
