  • How cultural intelligence help project managers to face cross-cultural complexities in construction projects in Lebanon and the Gulf 
    Saliba, Fadi Antoine (Notre Dame University-Louaize., 2020)
    Globalization has had a significant impact on all businesses and industries including construction. It reduced distance and time between all points of the world in near real-time which stimulated international projects. Lebanon as well as the Arab Gulf, have always had a culturally mixed societies and always experienced cultural differences due to many reasons. Working with people from different cultures can present a unique set of problems and challenges. The concept of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) looks at the ability of effectively adapting to different cultures. On the surface, it would seem ...
  • The stress strain response of concrete laterally confined with low and high performance fiber-reinforced cements and polymer composites : a comparative experimental and theoretical study 
    Sarieldine, Rawan Osmat (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2020)
    While concrete, steel and Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) jackets are the most commonly used types of jackets in the industry to confine columns, the focus of this research is to study and compare the compressive behavior of concrete cylinders confined with different types of fibrous composites; including Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC), Fiber Reinforced Mortar (FRM), and Slurry Infiltrated Fiber Concrete (SIFC). This study will provide a broad understanding of the behavior of the different confinement types used to retrofit columns to resist detrimental loads including blast and impact. The study ...
