  • Well-to-wheel assessment for informing transition strategies to low-carbon fuel-vehicles in developing countries dependent on fuel imports 
    Mansour, Charbel
    Road transportation worldwide is undergoing a rapid transition to more sustainable alternative fuel vehicle technologies as an effective means of dealing with climate change and related challenges. Several well-to-wheel ...
  • Numerical investigation of design strategies to achieve long-life pavements 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace G.; Ghauch, Ziad G.
    Increasing the HMA base thickness and modifying the HMA mixture properties to improve the resistance to fatigue cracking are among the most popular methods for achieving long-lasting pavements. Such methods are based on ...
  • Activity-level space scheduling 
    Zouein, Pierrette P.; Tommelein, Iris D.
    Activity-level space scheduling involves allocating site space over time to static and dynamic construction resources such as robots. The resulting coarse layouts pertaining to activity-related time intervals serve to ...
  • Space scheduling for construction progress planning and control 
    Zouein, P.P.; Tommelien, I.D.
    Space scheduling pertains to allocating the work space to resources associated which activates in a schedule as it changes over time. This is an important aspect of materials management in dynamic environments in which ...
  • Space schedule construction 
    Zouein, Pierrette P.
    The layout of temporary facilities on a construction site is affected by changes in a construction schedule, including changes in activity duration, resource selection, and resource allocation levels. Conversely, changes ...
  • Design constructability and space management 
    Zouein, Pierette; Franjieh, T.
    Design and construction have traditionally been treated as fairly separate tasks where engineers focus on the stability of the structure while contractors worry about how to get it done according to plans. Presently the ...
  • A parallel genetic algorithm for the geometrically constrained site layout problem 
    Zouein, P.; Harmanani, H.; Hajar, A.
    Parallel genetic algorithms techniques have been used in a variety of computer engineering and science areas. This paper presents a parallel genetic algorithm to solve the geometrically constrained site layout problem that ...
  • The mechanisms of uranium removal from water by iron oxyhydroxides, nanocrystalline titanium dioxide, and elemental iron 
    Wazne, Mahmoud (Stevens Institute of Technology, )
    The removal mechanisms and efficiencies of uranium from water by iron oxyhydroxides, nanocrystalline titanium dioxide, and elemental iron were investigated in artificial and natural systems. Batch tests, zeta potential ...
  • A simple approach for testing web service based applications 
    Mansour, Nashat; Tarhini, Abbas; Fouchal, Hacene (Springer, )
    The cost of developing and deploying web applications is reduced by dynamically integrating other heterogeneous self-contained web services. However, the malfunctioning of such systems would cause severe losses. This paper ...
  • A Terrain classification system for coseismic landslide hazard analysis; Lebanon, a case study 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Wartman, Joseph; Grant, Alex R.
    Coseismic landslides have caused vast amounts of damage throughout history, and are often responsible for more damage than all other seismic hazards combined (Kramer, 1996). To better assess coseismic landslide hazard on ...
  • Geo-characterızatıon and analysıs of dahr el baıdar slope 
    Abou-Jaoude, G.; Nasr, G.; Ibrahim, E.; Sursock, A.
  • Modeling Dahr el Baidar slope with an integrated geo-assessment 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Rahhal, Muhsin; Abdel Massih, Dalia Youssef; Harb, Jacques; Abdallah, Chadi; Khalaf- Keyrouz, Layal; Nasr, Georges; Sursock, Alexandre
    The slope of Dahr El Baidar located on the central mountain of Lebanon hosts a section of the Arab Highway that is under construction to connect Beirut to neighboring Arab countries. This slope has experienced failures ...
  • Geo-Chicago 2016 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Saade, Angela; Wartman, Joseph; Grant, Alex; SOE; 200702670; Civil Engineering; grace.aboujaoude@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University (ASCE Library, )
    Located in a seismic zone with a rugged topography, Lebanon is classified as highly vulnerable to earthquake and landslide hazards. According to Keefer (1984), even small magnitude earthquakes may trigger landslides leading ...
  • Multimodal method for coseismic landslide hazard assessment 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Wartman, Joseph; Grant, Alex; SOE; 200702670; Civil Engineering; grace.aboujaoude@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University
    Regional-scale coseismic landslide hazard assessments have traditionally been based on infinite-slope analyses, considering only a single mode of failure. Inventories and landslide reconnaissance work have shown a diverse ...
