Discrete event simulation for sustainable batch production in food processing
(
Dime University of Genoa
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In a world faced with depleting resources and hazardous biodegradable food wastes, an efficient planning for the food processing operation is crucial to avoid the adverse potential impact of excess food production. This ...
Performance of FRCM strengthened RC beams subject to fatigue
(
International Committee of the SCMT conferences
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) is a relatively new material system recently developed for the repair, retrofit, and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete (RC) and masonry structures. Concrete structures such ...
Practical teaching and its importance in teaching civil engineering
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Students pursuing their civil engineering degree usually learn the theory part in class but may struggle to relate theory to practice if the instructor has no industry experience. Engineering graduates can benefit more ...
Effectiveness of FRCM system in strengthening reinforced concrete beams
(
International Committee of the SCMT conferences
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, experimental work has been reported to investigate the efficiency of fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) in enhancing the flexural capacity and deformational characteristics of reinforced concrete ...
Mitigation of Traffic Congestion Using Ramp Metering on Doha Expressway
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Ramp metering is the most effective and widely implemented strategy for improving traffic flow on freeways by restricting the number of vehicles entering a freeway using ramp meters. A ramp meter is a traffic signal ...
The significance of industry experience in civil engineering education
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Students pursuing their civil engineering degree usually learn the theory part in class but may struggle relating theory to practice if the instructor have no industry experience. Engineering graduates can benefit more ...
Textile-Reinforced Mortar (TRM) System as a Strengthening Technique on Reinforced Concrete Beams
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
There is considerable investment in construction industry in Qatar for civil infrastructures and taking into account the severe environmental conditions, they would entail for proper maintenance, repair and strengthening ...
Finite element modelling of shear strengthened reinforced concrete beams
(
International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC)
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
This research aims at creating precise finite element models for FRP shear strengthened concrete beams. It is inspired by the fact that the determination of the structural behaviour of the shear strengthened beams requires ...
An analytic network process condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
Civil-Comp Press
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer pipelines age, the need for their upgrading, maintaining, and repairing arises. Simultaneously, inadequate sewer pipelines might lead to catastrophic failures. Thus, decision makers must have a detailed knowledge ...
An integrated ANP and er condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer networks age, the need for their maintenance arises. Simultaneously, inadequate rehabilitation of sewer pipelines might cause catastrophic failures. Thus, municipalities worldwide must have a detailed knowledge ...
