Assistant Professor Ali Ghanem Abbas Al-Khafaji , a member of the teaching committee from the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Karbala, was chosen to be part of discussion board committee for the master’s student Munir Youssef Muhammad for his thesis tagged (The Effect of Vertical Openings on the Structural Behavior of Deep Concrete Emotions).
The thesis was aimed at the possibility of providing the absorption of basic services such as channels and pipes that are used to pass the various services, especially in buildings. However, the introduction of vertical slots in the deep reinforced concrete beams causes early cracking and affects the maximum bearing capacity and hardness of the deep beams.
After discussing the thesis in detail, the discussion committee recommended its acceptance with minor corrections.
The committee’s decision was to grant the researcher a master’s degree in civil engineering.
