A faculty member at the University of Samarra earns a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Baghdad
Assistant Professor Moataz Ibrahim Ali, a faculty member at the College of Engineering at the University of Samarra, has obtained a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (Structures) from the College of Engineering at the University of Baghdad.
His dissertation was titled, “Effect of Elevated Temperature and Impact Load on Preference of Composite Concrete GFRP Beam.” In his research, the scholar aimed to study the bending behavior of composite concrete beams consisting of a concrete slab with a beam section reinforced by extruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP). Additionally, he investigated the residual strength under failure load after exposure to high temperatures.
In the same context, the dynamic response showed a decrease in the deflection value of composite beams with high-strength concrete (reinforced using both screws and epoxy by 5.8% and with screws only by 7.3%) compared to composite beams with normal compressive strength.
The static load reduced the deflection value at failure and increased all other parameters (failure load, ductility, and stiffness) of the composite beams with high concrete strength compared to the corresponding composite beams.
The Department of Media and Government Communication congratulates the researcher on his scientific achievement and advancement in his field, wishing him further progress in his academic and scientific career.
