    The slope of Dahr El Baidar located on the central mountain of Lebanon hosts a section of the Arab Highway that is under construction to connect Beirut to neighboring Arab countries. This slope has experienced several ...
  • Static Capacity Prediction by Dynamic Methods for Three Bored Piles 
    Briaud, Jean-Louis; Nasr, George; Ballouz, Marc (2016-02-23)
    Three bored piles were built and tested at the National Geotechnical Experimentation Sites, at Texas A&M University, to gather data on the reliability of large-strain dynamic methods to predict the static capacity of bored ...
  • Stepped Spillway as an Energy Dissipater 
    Chatila, Jean G.; Jurdi, Bassam R. (2016-05-09)
    This paper describes an experimental investigation into the hydraulics of ogee-profile stepped spillways, examines their viability as an alternative to smooth-back spillways and investigates their efficiency in reducing ...
  • Stereo-vision calibration by multi-layer perceptrons of an artificial neural network 
    Nasr, George; Achkar, Roger; Fayad, Fadi (IEEE Xplore, 2017-12-05)
    The aim of this study is to restore some vision to the visually impaired individual via non-invasive digital stimulation. The objective is attained by transmitting processed information to the vision cortex, via non-invasive ...
  • A stochastic iterative learning control algorithm with application to an induction motor 
    Saab, Samer S. (2019-07-30)
    A recursive optimal algorithm, based on minimizing the input error covariance matrix, is derived to generate the learning gain matrix of a P-type ILC for linear discrete-time varying systems with arbitrary relative degree. ...
  • A Stochastic Newton-Raphson Method with Noisy Function Measurements 
    Saab, Khaled Kamal; Saab, Samer Said (2019-07-31)
    This letter shows that traditional Newton-Raphson (NR) method cannot achieve zero-convergence in presence of additive noise without adding a multiplicative gain. Furthermore, this gain needs to converge to zero. This article ...
  • Stochastic P-type/D-type iterative learning control algorithms 
    Saab, Samer S. (2019-07-29)
    This paper presents stochastic algorithms that compute optimal and sub-optimal learning gains for a P-type iterative learning control algorithm (ILC) for a class of discrete-time-varying linear systems. The optimal algorithm ...
  • A stochastic PID controller for a class of MIMO systems 
    Saab, Samer S. (2019-07-24)
    This paper deals with the design of a controller possessing tracking capability of any realisable reference trajectory while rejecting measurement noise. We consider discrete-time-varying multi-input multi-output stable ...
  • Storage allocation for diverse FPGA memory specifications 
    Ouaiss, Iyad; Dagher, Dalia (Springer, 2017-06-21)
    A previous study [1] demonstrates the advantages of replacing registers by FPGA embedded memories during the storage allocation phase of High-Level Synthesis. The trend in new FPGAs to have large amounts of on-chip embedded ...
  • Storage yard layout at container terminals 
    Zouein, P.; Saade, L. (Acta, 2017-08-09)
    Beirut Container Terminal (BCT) is the only port facility available in Lebanon that handles all sea trade Lebanon does with foreign countries. Optimizing its container handling and storage operations is vital for its growth ...
  • Strain response of hot-mix asphalt overlays for bottom-up reflective cracking 
    Ghauch, Ziad G.; Abou-Jaoude, Grace (Civil-Comp Press, 2017-06-20)
    This paper examines the strain response of typical HMA overlays above jointed PCC slabs prone to bottom-up reflective cracking. The occurrence of reflective cracking under the combined effect of traffic and environmental ...
  • Strain response of hot-mix asphalt overlays in jointed plain concrete pavements due to reflective cracking 
    Ghauch, Z. G.; Abou-Jaoude, G. G. (2015-10-30)
    Reflective cracks appear in asphalt overlays placed on top of a concrete pavement above the locations of joints and cracks in the concrete slab. This paper presents the results of a finite element study on the response at ...
  • Structural capacity reduction of drilled shaft foundations due to corrosion in longitudinal bars 
    Abi Shdid, Caesar; Hajali, Masood (2016-10-17)
