    Foye, Kevin Christopher; Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Salgado, Rodrigo (Purdue University, 2017-06-20)
    Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) shows promise as a viable alternative to the present working stress design (WSD) approach to foundation design. The key improvements of LRFD over the traditional Working Stress ...
  • Modeling Dahr el Baidar slope with an integrated geo-assessment 
    Rahhal, Muhsin; Abdel Massih, Dalia Youssef; Harb, Jacques; Hage-Chehade, Fadi; Abdallah, Chadi; Khalaf- Keyrouz, Layal; Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Nasr, Georges (2018-02-28)
    he 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 failures and ...
  • Multimodal method for coseismic landslide hazard assessment 
    Grant, Alex; Wartman, Joseph; Abou-Jaoude, Grace (2018-02-28)
    Regional-scale coseismic landslide hazard assessments have traditionally been based on infinite-slope analyses, considering only a single mode of failure. Inventories and landslide reconnaissance work have shown a diverse ...
  • Multimodal method for landslide risk analysis 
    Pollock, William; Grant, Alex; Wartman, Joseph; Abou-Jaoude, Grace (2022-06-09)
    Quantitative landslide risk analysis is a key step in creating appropriate land use policies. However, regional scale landslide hazard and risk studies are traditionally based on a single, infinite-slope style of failure, ...
  • Non-linear base and shaft reaction models for 1-D pile driving analysis 
    Loukidis, Dimitrios; Salgado, Rodrigo; Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Zhang, Yanbei (Korea Geotechnical Society, 2022-06-20)
    Simulation of pile driving is frequently used in present design practice to study pile drivability and to estimate pile static capacity based on driving data. The accuracy of both drivability analysis and static resistance ...
  • Numerical investigation of design strategies to achieve perpetual pavements 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Ghauch, Ziad (Transportation Research Board, 2018-10-16)
    Increasing the hot mix asphalt (HMA) base thickness and modifying the HMA mixture properties to improve the resistance to fatigue cracking are among the most popular methods for achieving long-lasting pavements. Such methods ...
  • An Overview of scenario approaches 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Mumm, Olaf; Carlow, Vanessa Miriam (2022-06-09)
    Rising complexities and uncertainties have emphasized the need to employ scenario thinking in urban design and planning. While different scenario methods have been widely used across disciplines, a comprehensive review of ...
  • Perception of Lebanese middle school students about engineering 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Najjar, Michelle (IEEE, 2017-06-16)
    In a male-dominated Middle Eastern society, female academics and professionals have come a long way in recent decades, challenging long-held stereotypes about women holding careers in fields of science and technology. ...
  • Pile driving formulas based on pile wave equation analyses 
    Salgado, Rodrigo; Zhang, Yanbei; Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Loukidis, Dimitrios; Bisht, Vibhav (2018-02-20)
    Pile driving formulas, which directly relate the pile set resulting from a hammer blow to the static load capacity of the pile, are often used to decide whether a pile will have the required design capacity. However, ...
  • Quantitative coseismic and precipitation-induced landslide risk mapping for the country of Lebanon 
    Pollock, William; Wartman, Joseph; Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Grant, Alex (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2022-06-09)
