Anwer Mohammed is currently an assistant lecturer at Tikrit University. He has a coauthored research with another colleague on " Shake Table Evaluation of Screen Grid Core Insulated Concrete Form Walls" presented at the 11th Eleventh U.S. National Conference on Earthquake Engineering. Also, He has a coauthored research with two other colleagues on "Time-Dependent Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams" in the Iraqi Journal for Mechanical and Materials Engineering published by Babil University. In addition, Mohammed was a member of the Engineering faculty at Tikrit University-Iraq from 2008-2012, teaching many topics in the civil engineering department for undergraduate students, including mathematics, the strength of materials, materials mechanics, and materials lab. In 2011, Mr. Mohammed received a letter of appreciation from Tikrit University’s President for his efforts to develop and improve the central library building at Tikrit University. Mr. Mohammed holds a BSc. and MSc. in civil engineering from Al-Mustansiriya University-Iraq, and a Ph.D. in civil and environmental engineering from Portland State University-USA.

The wall specimens utilized dry fit insulated form blocks made from recycled expanded polystyrene granules that were bonded together with cement. When stacked, the cavities in the blocks formed a grid of cores that are evenly spaced vertically and horizontally. Each wall was built on top of a foundation block that was designed such that failure would occur within the walls themselves. The walls consisted of four circular vertical cores and five circular horizontal cores reinforced with a single rebar placed nominally in the center of each core. Fiber-reinforced concrete was used in one of the walls to evaluate the effect on failure modes, drift capacity and shear strength. The results showed that the use of fiber-reinforced concrete in the cores had not significantly improved the drift capacity and had exhibited lower strengths than the wall with conventional concrete. These outcomes were mainly attributed to voids in the cores that had resulted despite similarities in workability of the concrete mixes and in techniques used to place the concrete in the walls.
