Application of Weibull's Theory to Assess the Depth Effect of Malaysian Tropical Hardwoods According to Eurocode 5 (2023)
Journal Article
Purwanto, N. B., Bhkari, N. M., Ahmad, Z., Hassan, R., Chen, L. W., Baharin, A., Rosli, M. A. A., & Khokhar, A. (2024). Application of Weibull's Theory to Assess the Depth Effect of Malaysian Tropical Hardwoods According to Eurocode 5. Journal of Advanced Research in Applied Sciences and Engineering Technology, 34(1), 361-371. https://doi.org/10.37934/araset.34.1.361371

The adoption of limit state design according to Eurocode 5 (EC5) has brought about design strength optimisation in design practices worldwide. However, the implementation of EC5 may not be suitable for Malaysian tropical timber species as the design...

Using Artificial Intelligence for Optimizing Natural Frequency of Recycled Concrete for Mechanical Machine Foundation (2021)
Journal Article
Lashin, M. M. A., Khokhar, A., Alrowais, F., Malibari, A., & Saleh, W. (2021). Using Artificial Intelligence for Optimizing Natural Frequency of Recycled Concrete for Mechanical Machine Foundation. Recycling, 6(3), Article 43. https://doi.org/10.3390/recycling6030043

This paper investigates the mechanical properties of two different types of recycled concrete, which use wood and rubber, relative to those characteristics of pure concrete, in terms of maximum load and natural frequencies. This paper contributes to... Read More about Using Artificial Intelligence for Optimizing Natural Frequency of Recycled Concrete for Mechanical Machine Foundation.

Influence of between-joists bridging elements on static and dynamic response of wood joisted floors (2019)
Journal Article
Khokhar, A., Chui, Y. H., & Smith, I. (2019). Influence of between-joists bridging elements on static and dynamic response of wood joisted floors. Engineering Structures, 188, 362-368. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engstruct.2019.03.039

Excessive vertical vibration of lightweight floors caused by walking or similar activities can be annoying to building occupants. Previous studies have shown that the vibrational performance of floors having wood joists is enhanced by installing one...

Determining the Shear Modulus of Sitka Spruce from Torsion Tests (2008)
Journal Article
Khokhar, A. M., Zhang, H., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Moore, J. (2008). Determining the Shear Modulus of Sitka Spruce from Torsion Tests. Timber Engineering,

This paper presents details of the experimental method, and preliminary results from, a series of torsion tests undertaken to evaluate the shear modulus of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) timber. Direct torsion tests were used to determine the variat... Read More about Determining the Shear Modulus of Sitka Spruce from Torsion Tests.
