ملخص الدراسة: ABSTRACT This thesis includes the development of spectral response accelerations maps and risk coefficient maps for Palestine according the international building code (IBC 2012). The maps were developed for 5% damped acceleration response spectrum having a 2% probability of exceedance within a 50 year (2475 return period) in short (0.2 second) and long […]

ملخص الدراسة: It is important to engineering profession to know why engineering women prefer some engineering profession than other and what factors are effects on them to choose this profession. Engineering has always been a male dominated profession and has not been successful in attracting women as other previously male-dominated fields. Despite the involvement of […]

The research aimed to assess implementation of […]

ملخص الدراسة: In comparison with the option of “demolish and rebuild buildings”, sustainability can be better achieved by extending the life spans of existing structures. Rehabilitation of structures results in less construction waste materials, reserves natural resources, minimizes adverse environmental effects, saves time, saves cost, etc. The structural behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with […]

ملخص الدراسة: Estimating the construction labor productivity considering the effect of multiple factors is important for construction planning, scheduling and estimating. In planning and scheduling, it is important to maximize labor productivity and forecast activity durations to achieve lower labor cost and shorter project duration. In estimating, it is important to predict labor costs. A […]

ملخص الدراسة: The study was carried out in the three Governorates of Gaza Strip coastal aquifer which are represented by North Gaza, Gaza, and Middle Area in order to look into the geological properties of this area. The study aimed at updating geological cross sections in the study area to identify the subsurface lithological structure. […]

ملخص الدراسة: Most construction projects in Gaza Strip are suffering from claims due to borders closure and shortage of materials in markets. Claims emergence has risen since 10 years due to critical political situation. These claims have a bad effect on all parties whose working in construction sector. The effects of claims could be traced […]

ملخص الدراسة: Safety in the construction industry has always been a major issue. Wherever reliable records are available, construction is found to be one of the most dangerous on safety and health criteria, particularly in developing countries. Palestine is a developing country with a construction industry suffers from a poor safety conditions. This thesis is […]
