Several research studies have been conducted to strengthen weak road layers, regardless of whether they are under construction or constructed, and require maintenance using substrates filled with different materials, which have proven effective in increasing the strength of these layers. In this study, the objective of the work is to identify the m...

Jordan possesses a significant renewable energy potential due to its remarkable geographical location and climate conditions. This potential elevates engaging several innovative renewable alternatives in energy development which may efficiently minimize the excessive import of traditional energy sources. The objective of this research is to study t...

The study has addressed design criteria about how the industry of the floating reinforcement concrete precast (pontoons) is installed in the factory with the combinations of utility, electricity services, and internet service. The pontoon bridges are successfully installed on the road for transport. The installation process for pontoons is successf...

It is an established fact that when roads are planned and constructed, consideration needs to be given to ensuring the strength of the road surface. It is, however, also the case that when an existing road is being rebuilt or is under maintenance, its base may need to be fortified to increase the road's vehicle-carrying capacity. The base may, for...

In Jordan, the unprecedented proliferation of building projects is anticipated to increase the potable water demand in the construction manufacturing. In the present work, secondary treated wastewater (STW) and potable water (PW) were used in the production of concrete mixes, which were subjected to testing after 3 to 28 days of curing to determine...

Construction of Pontoons is based on multiple elements, dimensions and weight. The study has addressed about how the industry of the floating reinforcement concrete precast (pontoons) installs in the factory with the combinations of utility, electricity services, and Internet service. The pontoon bridges are successfully installed in the road for t...

The main idea of this study is to find the effect of steel fiber on the strength and internally curing of self-consolidated concrete (SCC), by using lightweight aggregate (LWA) from available porcelain. The work includes two stages; the first stage involved making several experimental mixes and then choosing the one that corresponds to internationa...

Experimental observations and numerical simulations are compared with theoretical results based on RILEM recommendation [1]. The intention of this paper is to determine the influence of concrete parameters on local fracture energy and failure mode of concrete beams. Three-point-bending test on notched concrete beams have been performed using two mo...
