" Masih, R. A paper submitted for presentation at the International Conference on Computational
Methods for Smart Structures and Materials to be held in Madrid, Spain, June 2000.

"Effect of Demolition on Remaining Part of Concrete Bridge, Numerical Analysis vs. Experimental
Results." Presented and published in the proceedings of Internationales Kolloquium uber die
Anwedungen der Informatik in Architectur and Bauwesen, Germany, June 2000.

"The Effect of Bridge Rehabilitation On the Remaining Structural Parts." Presented and published
in the ASCE conference proceedings held at Stanford University, August 2000.
