Shear Behavior Of Reinforced Concrete Shallow Beams With Lightweight Infill, Ahmed Mohamed Tahwia, Mohamed El Saied El-Zoughiby, Mohammed Hany Hassan Oct 2022

Shear Behavior Of Reinforced Concrete Shallow Beams With Lightweight Infill, Ahmed Mohamed Tahwia, Mohamed El Saied El-Zoughiby, Mohammed Hany Hassan

Mansoura Engineering Journal

This paper presents the effect on the shear behavior of reinforced concrete shallow beams due to infilling by using the Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) as a lightweight material to decrease the weight of the beams. Three reinforced concrete beams were fabricated in the lab to study the effect of infilling the beams with AAC blocks. The first beam is a solid or reference beam, SB01. The second beam was in filled by four AAC blocks having 100mm thick ribs, SB02. The last beam was also in filled but with eight AAC blocks having 40mm thick ribs, SB03. Based on the …


Nanotechnology As Building Materials And Its Impact On The Quality Of Residential Buildings, Shekha Alrasheed, Hatem El Shafie Oct 2022

Nanotechnology As Building Materials And Its Impact On The Quality Of Residential Buildings, Shekha Alrasheed, Hatem El Shafie

Mansoura Engineering Journal

A modern technology called "nanotechnology" has emerged that seeks to environmental design through the use of new technologies and advanced scientific methods in the construction of contemporary architectural edifices. The research problem is the underutilization of nanotechnology in building materials for residential buildings due to the lack of knowledge of the benefits and cost of this technology. The importance of the study lies in the use of building materials based on nanotechnology with new properties and high performance that address the problems in current building materials so as to apply sustainability standards and provide efficiency for residential buildings to suit …


Filters Used For Roundness Error Evaluation: An Experimental Comparison Study, Fatma Elerian Sep 2022

Filters Used For Roundness Error Evaluation: An Experimental Comparison Study, Fatma Elerian

Mansoura Engineering Journal

Filtration is a necessary step in roundness measurement. The type of filter affects value of roundness error. There were many studies that explain the differences between filters theoretically and few of them have studied the differences practically. This study aims at introducing a practical comparison of the following filters (2CR50, 2CR75, 2CRPC50, 2CRPC75, Gaussian and no filter) in order to demonstrate the effect of each on roundness error values. RA-120 ROUNDTEST instrument was used for measuring out of roundness of 25 turned workpieces. Least squares reference circle (LSC), minimum zone reference circle (MZC), maximum inscribed reference circle (MIC) and minimum …


Using Heritage Sites At Bahariya Oasis On The Tourism Urban Development, Medhat Ahmed Shabaan Samra Aug 2022

Using Heritage Sites At Bahariya Oasis On The Tourism Urban Development, Medhat Ahmed Shabaan Samra

Mansoura Engineering Journal

Throughout the tourism planning process for the Bahariya Oasis area, the current study aims to prepare this area to become an applicable model that converts the values of cultural heritage resources into economic values within the tourism industry and the establishment of tourism projects in this area. The Bahariya Oasis area is characterized by many Valuable regions that have not been included on the tourism map by the Egyptian government. To achieve those objectives, the researcher adopted the 'Analytic-Descriptive Approach', as it is suitable for this study throughout reviewing the literature related to the research subject, describing the current situation, …


Effect Of Nanogel Windows On The Window-To-Wall Ratio (Wwr) With Reference To Daylighting And Energy Consumption, Fatma Ahmed Elbony Aug 2022

Effect Of Nanogel Windows On The Window-To-Wall Ratio (Wwr) With Reference To Daylighting And Energy Consumption, Fatma Ahmed Elbony

Mansoura Engineering Journal

Electrical lighting accounts for a significant contributor to total electrical energy consumption. Lighting has an energy effect that is not limited to the energy consumption of light fixtures. It also contributes significantly to the building's heat burden. WWR and glazing systems are the most significant factors that affect the electrical lighting and cooling energy consumption of a building. Reduction in WWR means a reduction in solar heat gains and accordingly in cooling energy consumption, otherwise it means increasing in lighting energy consumption. Nanogel windows as highly energy-efficient windows have the greatest potential for improving the thermal performance, daylight, and solar …
