Dr. Mustafa Muhammad Rahim Khashan, a lecturer at the College of Engineering/University of Kerbala, in cooperation with a research team from Kansas State University in the United States, published scientific research in one of the international journals (ACI Structural Journal) issued by the American Concrete Institute (ACI). The research includes the development of an applied structural model and Innovation for deep concrete beam analysis
“Novel Truss Analogy Model to Predict Full Response of Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams”
The research aims to study the model’s nonlinear behaviour of deep concrete beams, and after comparing the model’s outputs with practical and theoretical results, it was found that there is a good match among them.
The study is one of the first scientific studies to address this topic, which provided precise, comprehensive, and simplified detail for the design and analysis of deep concrete beams, in addition to the fact that this journal is ranked Q1 in Scopus.
