  • 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 ...
  • Numerical Modeling of the Lateral Behavior of Concrete-Filled FRP Tube Piles in Sand 

    Jafarian Abyaneh, Mostafa; El Naggar, Hany; and Sadeghian, Pedram. (2020). Numerical Modeling of the Lateral Behavior of Concrete-Filled FRP Tube Piles in Sand. International Journal of Geomechanics, 20, 8, https://doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)GM.1943-5622.0001725
    In this study, a numerical model is developed to study concrete-filled FRP tube (CFFT) pile behavior and interactions with foundation soil under lateral loading. The model, based on nonlinear finite element analysis (NFEA) ...
  • Simplified Material Model for Concrete Containing High-Content of Tire-Derived Coarse Aggregate under Compression Loading 

    El Naggar, A., El Naggar, H., & Sadeghian, P. (2021). Simplified material model for concrete containing high-content of tire-derived coarse aggregate under compression loading. Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 48(8), 912-924. https://doi.org/10.1139/cjce-2019-0626
    The flexible properties of the shredded rubber tires give rubberized concrete desirable properties such as lower relative density, and better dampening ability, higher toughness, and improved deformability resulting in an ...
  • Using TDA to Partially Replace Coarse Aggregates in Concrete Mixtures 

    El Naggar, Abdelmoneim, Sadeghian, Pedram and El Naggar, Hany (2019). Using TDA to Partially Replace Coarse Aggregates in Concrete Mixtures.
