The results showed that the Rectilinear samples were mechanically weaker than the Triangle samples, as the samples with 1.2 mm outer wall and 70% or 85% infill collapsed abruptly.

This systematic review aims to explore the most popular topics within LSS in manufacturing over the past ten years (2014 to 2023), and to identify and analyze any gaps. Results found that LSS helps in improving quality, increasing sigma level, reducing non-added value, increasing productivity, reducing production costs, and improving customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the results can be used for a systematic literature review by researchers and manufacturing leaders before embarking on a journey of continuous improvement. Finally, this study proposed a LSS framework for the manufacturing domain, which includes 40 steps. Various tools like process mapping, KPIs, OEE, sigma level, seven quality control tools, process time analysis, value stream mapping, kaizen, 5S, brainstorming, and standard work have been used at different phases of DMAIC.","PeriodicalId":159365,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Research Journal (Shoubra)","volume":"323 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139326930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tested panel consists of a timber frame with the dimensions of 1200 x 600 x 25 mm covered by GFRP layers which were manufactured by a hand-layup process. Tensile and flexure tests were conducted for the GFRP specimens and for GFRP-covered wood sections to evaluate the material properties. The results showed brittle failure under average maximum load of 9.28 kN, average maximum elongation of 7.7 mm and the modulus of elasticity for the GFRP was about 2400 MPa. The obtained bending stress for GFRP-covered wood sections ranged between 90-115 MPa. Additionally, full-scale panels were tested under distributed loads until failure to study their flexural behavior. The experimental results demonstrated good mechanical and physical properties for the presented GFRP-wood panels, which renders the use of such composite GFRP-wood panel promising in prefabricated structures.","PeriodicalId":159365,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Research Journal (Shoubra)","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139330113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lightweight concrete has many and diverse utilizations, including multistory building frames and floors, curtain walls and bridges. This paper investigated the effect of fiber on torsional behavior of lightweight concrete beam. Many variables were studied such as compressive strength of lightweight concrete, fiber type, fiber volume ratio, spacing between stirrups, diameter of stirrups and CFRP reinforcement. The numerical results showed that the increment in fiber content resulted in better mechanical properties and torsional resistance of lightweight concrete beams. The effect of carbon fiber and steel fiber is evident from the volume ratio 2%, which produced the highest ultimate torque enhancement to 77.64% and 76 % respectively. In addition, a rational approach is proposed to predict ultimate torque to develop the torsion design of lightweight concrete beams.","PeriodicalId":159365,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Research Journal (Shoubra)","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139330572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
