Tests on steel tubular columns of rectangular and circular sections filled with normal and lightweight concrete were performed to investigate the behavior of such columns under axial loadings. Comparison between normal and lightweight... more
The influence of temperature, flow velocity, gypsum content, salinity of solvent and hole diameter on the amount and rate of dissolution of gypseous rock samples was investigated. The rock samples were obtained from the proposed Al-Fat'ha... more
Macro-elements are among the powerful means in reducing the number of equations to be solved in finite element analysis. In the proposed method, several finite truss elements will be transformed into a single element called the... more
This paper is focused on studying the factors affecting the productivity of excavation works in Jordan. In order to investigate this target, a questionnaire was designed considering the most important factors that were proposed in the... more

An experimental research was conducted to investigate the improvement in the engineering characteristics of a cohesive soil after being mixed with gradual increments of sand. To verify the above purpose, several laboratory tests were... more
Globally, different studies and investigations in the field of new technologies and alternative building materials are continuously performed to decrease the cost and time of carrying out construction projects. In this research, a... more
Tests on steel columns filled with normal concrete and lightweight concrete were carried out to investigate the actual behavior and the load carrying capacity of such columns. Eight full scale rectangular cross-section columns filled with... more

Since year 2000, the main road network in Jordan has witnessed large developments in the fields of design, construction, evaluation and maintenance. This development aimed at keeping up with the socio-economical and social development and... more
In this paper, the factors influencing collapse of excavations and their effects on the estimated cost and time for a construction project was evaluated. The methodology used in this research is composed of several phases. The most... more
Different kinds of engineering problems could be occurred as a result of constructing foundations over cohesive soils. The majority of these problems are concerning the soils' volumetric changes that may lead the structure to be... more
Background: Rapid developments of ceramic technology have increased applications of zirconia in dentistry. It is widely used for full, partial coverage crowns, inlays, onlays, post, and core. Though recommended, zirconia has not been... more
