Faculty Member from the Department of Civil Technologies Publishes a Research Paper in a Prestigious International Journal
Mr. Haider Al-Diwani, a faculty member in the Department of Civil Technologies, has published a collaborative research paper titled:
“Experimental and Numerical Study of an Innovative Combined Damper Using Steel Pipes and Bars”
The paper was published in the International Journal of Structural Integrity, a peer-reviewed British journal specializing in structural safety topics within civil engineering. The journal is issued by Emerald Publishing, and is indexed in Scopus and Clarivate databases. It holds an Impact Factor of 3.5, a CiteScore of 5.4, and is ranked in the first quartile (Q1).
The study focused on the critical structural resistance of steel and concrete buildings to seismic vibrations caused by earthquakes. The results demonstrated high levels of resistance, particularly in high-rise structures, confirming their ability to withstand severe seismic events while remaining within globally recognized safety standards.
