Abstract:
The thesis aims to improve the thermal and mechanical properties of concrete by studying the effects of three factors which are steel slag replacing coarse aggregates, waste glass replacing cement, and w/b using design of experiment and Minitab software. Thermal conductivity, compressive and splitting tensile strength, dry density, EDX, DTA, and SEM were conducted on 18 mixtures and compared with the control sample. Results revealed that it is possible to optimize the mechanical and thermal properties of concrete to satisfy the modern buildings demand.
After the discussion committee recorded its observations on the thesis, which were divided between explanation and correction, and the student’s defense of his thesis, and the end of the discussion, the committee sat down to evaluate the thesis, and decided to grant the student a doctoral degree with pass grade.

Abstract
The study aims to prepare several nanocomposite coatings on low-carbon steel, acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, and alumina substrate two nanoparticles TiC and SiC were used. FESEM, EDX, XRD, contact angle, nanoindentation test, ball on-disc tribometer, and polarization tests were done. The results show different coating properties can be obtained using different deposition conditions. Two multi-criteria decision-making methods, the weighted sum model and the analytic hierarchy process were utilized to distinguish and choose the best coating for each substrate.

Abstract
The study aimed to solve the problems of hot asphalt mixture represented by the Rutting (depth of rutting) occurring in Iraq by adding depolymerized polyethylene terephthalate (DPET) with bitumen to produce developed bitumen, while conducting the necessary tests, and after mixing the aggregate with the filler material and modified bitumen, a test of Marshall stability and percentage of Air voids, rutting depth, and indirect tensile strength. The results reached a clear and significant improvement due to the presence of functional groups represented by monomers in the additive with the developed bitumen. The optimal percentage of the additive was 20% DPET.
