  • 1g model tests of vertically loaded GFRP piles 

    The conventional piling materials (i.e., concrete, steel, wood) are more likely to have durability problems (i.e., corrosion, degradation, deterioration) in harsh environments and offshore construction. Fiber-reinforced ...
  • Axial Behavior of Innovative Sand-Coated GFRP Piles in Cohesionless Soil 

    Almallah, Ahmad; El Naggar, Hany; and Sadeghian, Pedram; (2020).Axial Behavior of Innovative Sand-Coated GFRP Piles in Cohesionless Soil. International Journal of Geomechanics, 20, 10. https://doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)GM.1943-5622.0001808
    In pile construction, conventional pile materials such as concrete, steel, and wood are frequently subject to soil–substructure interaction durability problems due to corrosion and deterioration. Fiber-reinforced polymers ...
  • Enhancing the Interface Friction between Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sheets and Sandy Soils through Sand Coating 

    Ahmad Almallah, Pedram Sadeghian & Hany El Naggar (2019) Enhancing the interface friction between glass fiber-reinforced polymer sheets and sandy soils through sand coating, Geomechanics and Geoengineering, DOI: 10.1080/17486025.2019.1635714
    Soil-pile interface friction is an important geotechnical engineering factor to be considered in achieving a safe, cost-effective design. Conventional construction materials such as concrete, steel, and wood exhibit serious ...
