Assessment of linear and nonlinear viscoelastic responses of warm-mix asphalt binders
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Warm-Mix Asphalt (WMA) technology is widely used in the paving industry due to its impact on reduction of asphalt mixing and compaction temperatures. Characterisation of WMA in the past had focused on evaluating the linear ...
Mitigation of railway-induced vibration by using subgrade stiffening
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Railway-induced ground vibration is often associated with sites with soft ground. Stiffening of the subgrade beneath the railway track is one particular measure that has potential to reduce the vibration level at such ...
Reducing railway-induced ground-borne vibration by using open trenches and soft-filled barriers
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
A trench can act as a barrier to ground vibration and is a potential mitigation measure for low frequency vibration induced by surface railways. However, to be effective at very low frequencies the depth required becomes ...
Diaphragm shear strength and stiffness of aluminum roof panel assemblies
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
A diaphragm is an assembly of planar structural elements interconnected to each other to provide in-plane bracing system and transmit in-plane forces. The diaphragm geometry, supporting frame, type of the panel profiles, ...
Assessment of the taxi service in Doha
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This research focuses on passengers' satisfaction of the taxi service in Doha, Qatar. Qatar is a rich developing country where taxis are widely considered as a public transportation service due to the limited use of the ...
Aging evaluation of asphalt samples with Low Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, a recently developed methodology to assess aging of pavements by using Low Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (LF-NMR) was applied to asphalt mix samples at different aging states. The ultimate objective of ...
Macro-scale direct shear test device for assessing soil-solid interface friction under low effective normal stresses
(
ASTM International
, 2014 , Article)
The paper describes a new macro-scale direct shear test device for assessing the largedisplacement soil/solid interface drained shear strength at low effective normal stresses. The testing method arises from a need to ...
Shear strength of geosynthetic composite systems for design of landfill liner and cover slopes
(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
Torsional ring shear tests were performed on composite specimens that simulate the field alignment of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill liner and cover system components. Simultaneous shearing was provided to each test ...
Numerical study on settlement of piled foundations on homogenous rock
(
Taylor and Francis
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Settlement behavior of piled foundations on homogenous rock was investigated using an extensive three-dimensional finite element analysis of different piled-foundation models. Effects of pile slenderness ratio, pile spacing, ...
Settlement of axially loaded piles entirely embedded in rock - analytical and experimental study
(
Taylor and Francis
, 2012 , Article)
Finite element analysis was performed to study the settlement behaviour of axially loaded piles entirely embedded in nonhomogenous rock. The elastic modulus of the rock mass was taken to increase linearly along the pile ...
