    • Structure Mixture Response Of Buildings Due To Simulated Earthquake Loading 

      Al Ansari, Mohammed S.; Senouci, Ahmed B. ( Qatar University , 2002 , Article)
      This paper presents two case studies to evaluate the performance of the structure mixture theory in the earthquake response analysis of buildings. In the first case study, the actual earthquake responses of the two-story ...
    • Use Of Cement By-Pass Dust In Soil Stabilization 

      Taha, Ramzi; Al-Rawas, Amer; Al-Harthy, Ali; Al-Siyabi, Hilal ( Qatar University , 2001 , Article)
      Cement by-pass dust (CBPD) or cement kiln dust (CKD) is a by-product of the manufacture of Portland cement. It is generated during the calcining process in the kiln. Lime (CaO) constitutes more than 60% of CBPD composition. ...
