Shear Behavior of Green Concrete Beams Reinforced with Basalt FRP Bars and Stirrups.
Published 2020“…It has been found that the green concrete provides high compressive strength compared to the normal concrete with the same workability properties, which increases the shear resistance by the concrete. Finally, minimizing spacing of the stirrups is not preventing occurrence of the crack, however using minimum spacing helps in decreasing the crack width.…”

Maximum Likelihood Estimation in the Inverse Weibull Distribution with Type II Censored Data
Published 2022“…We found that the parameter estimators are almost unbiased, while the MRL and TVaR estimators are asymptotically unbiased. Moreover, the mean squared error of all estimators decreased for larger sample sizes and it increased when the censoring proportion is increased for a fixed sample size. …”
