About faculty of Engineering

Faculty of Engineering

The Faculty of Engineering, University of Tripoli, was established in 1961 in the name of the “Faculty of Higher Technical Studies” within the program of scientific and technical cooperation with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO. Thus, this makes it the first engineering college in Libya. In 1967, it was included to the University of Libya under the name of the Faculty of Engineering. In 1972, the Faculty of Petroleum Engineering established. However, it then was then included to the Faculty of Engineering, and elements from the Faculty of Science, University of Tripoli in 1973. In 1978, the Faculty of Nuclear and Electronic Engineering was created. In 1985 the Faculty of Petroleum Engineering was merged with the Faculty of Engineering within the framework of linking the colleges and higher institutes with engineering research centers. The Faculty of Nuclear and Electronic Engineering was then added to the Faculty of Engineering in 1988.

 

The Faculty of Engineering has a pioneering role in the scientific career, its role is increasing significantly in line with the technical development, especially in the fields of communication and informatics engineering. In addition, it also following new developments with their applications in the engineering sector, along with permanent and renewable energy, modern methods of construction and architecture and their environmental impacts. In response to this development, the Faculty of Engineering undertook changes in its educational curricula and academic structure by growing from a faculty with four departments since its inception to become a group of thirteen departments in order to meet the desires and requirements of the Libyan society and to achieve its goals and aspirations for progress. Accordingly, the study system in the Faculty has evolved from the academic year system to term-based system.

 

The expansion of the academic fields in the Faculty undoubtedly requires expansions in the facilities that accommodate the increasing numbers of students which have reached twelve thousand in recent years. This development will include halls, laboratories and other advanced capabilities and equipment, including computers and research measuring devices.

 

The Faculties consists of the following departments: Department of Civil Engineering - Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering - Department of Computer Engineering - Department of Architecture and Urban Planning - Department of Petroleum Engineering - Department of Chemical Engineering - Department of Geological Engineering - Department of Mining Engineering - Department of Aeronautical Engineering - Department of Naval Engineering and Ship Architecture - Department of Nuclear Engineering - Department of Materials and Mineral Engineering - Department of Engineering Management "Postgraduate studies".

 

These departments carry out their specialized scientific tasks in accordance with the relevant laws, regulations and decisions, which include in their entirety:

 

-          Academic supervision of students in terms of registration, teaching and evaluation.

-          Follow-up of research, authoring and translation programs.

-          Preparing and holding specialized scientific conferences and seminars.

-          Preparing and reviewing academic curricula to keep pace with scientific progress and the needs of society.

-          Providing specialized scientific advice to productive and service institutions in society.

-          Conducting scientific and practical studies in the field of research to solve relevant community problems.

-          Contributing to developing plans and proposals for managing the educational process in the Faculty and departments.

THE STRUCTURAL COEFFICIENT OF FULL-DEPTH RECLAMATION LAYER

Reclaimed asphalt pavement is used as an aggregate in the cold recycling of asphalt paving mixtures. The more common method involves a process in which the asphalt pavement is recycled in-place (cold in-place recycling), CIPR. Where the reclaimed asphalt pavement is combined without heat with foamed bitumen and cement and mixed at the pavement site, at full- depth to produce a new cold mix end product. There are no universally accepted structural coefficient values for cold in-place recycled mixes (CIPR). Even though, the structural capacity of CIPR mixes considered equal to that of conventional cold mix paving material, it is not the structural is equivalent to hot mix asphalt (HMA), but is superior to gravel or crushed stone base course. The structural layer coefficient is used to calculate the structure number (SN) needed for the design of layer thicknesses. In this study, the maximum vertical compressive strain on the top of the subgrade layer was used to calculate the equivalency factor and the structural coefficient. By using the KENLAYER; the elastic layered program, the subgrade compressive strains were calculated for the typical pavement system commonly used for the major highways in Libya to get the thickness of FDR layer that would give the same compressive strain as six inches (150 mm) HMA. The thickness equivalency was taken as the ratio of the thickness of the FDR layer to that of the HMA layer of six-inch (150 mm). This was done for different FDR modulus values and different mean annual air temperatures (MAATs) which imply different resilient modulus values of HMA. As a result a relationship was developed between FDR modulus and FDR structural coefficient for various MAATs which are considered as the upper bound structural coefficient values. The conservative equation: MR= 30,000(ai/0.14)3 is considered as the lower bound values of structural coefficient. A reasonable single structural coefficient value could be specified within the specified range based on the levels of experience and quality control. A case study is used to verify the developed procedure for the design of pavement structural systems with FDR layers. arabic 7 English 51

Experimental evaluation of the scale of fluctuation for spatial variability modelling of chloride induced reinforced concrete corrosion

This paper provides experimentally determined estimates of the scale of fluctuation of the principal variables employed in modeling chloride-induced corrosion for reinforced concrete; i.e., the surface chloride content (Cs) and apparent diffusion coefficient (Dapp). The estimation of the scale of fluctuation, θ, is based on the analysis of experimental data recorded on a bridge in South East Ireland prior to its extensive rehabilitation in 2007. In determining the scale of fluctuation the paper considers two commonly used methods; i.e., the maximum likelihood method and the autocorrelation curve-fitting method. The reliability of both methods is discussed. Introduction of the kriging statistical interpolation method is demonstrated to improve the reliability of the estimates of the scale of fluctuation. The results obtained from the analysis are compared with values in the literature proffered by other researchers. arabic 16 English 119

Effects of Finny-shaped Absorber Surface on Basin-solar Still Behavior

Abstract For this study, two identical single-effect of single basin solar stills are designed, fabricated, tested, and evaluated, where one of them is employed alone which is referred to as “passive still”, while the other is coupled to a flat plate solar collector introducing what so called the active still. Both are installed at the same site in Tripoli-Libya and they are oriented due to south. Measurement of various temperatures, solar intensities, humidity, wind speed and distillated water production are taken each hour for several days of August under various operating conditions. Two operational modes are considered; each of the passive and active stills is operating for the whole day. These tests were performed using seawater and water basin different depths. The water production of the active still is reported to be 6.6 L/m2.day which is higher than that of the passive still by 56 per cent approximately. The maximum daily efficiency is calculated to be 24 per cent approximately for the active still system while it is 14 per cent approximately for the passive still. Yet, the still thermal performance seems to have a complex function of geometrical, constructional, and operational conditions, site characteristics and layout details.
