A model for predicting failure of oil pipelines
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2014 , Article)
Oil and gas pipelines transport millions of dollars of goods everyday worldwide. Even though they are the safest way to transport petroleum products, pipelines do still fail generating hazardous consequences and irreparable ...
Combined influence of temperature and flow rate of feeds on the performance of forward osmosis
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
The effect of the membrane orientation, feeds flow rate, feeds temperature, and combining effect of both temperature and flow rate on the membrane flux was investigated in order to enhance the performance of forward osmosis ...
Fuzzy Logic-Based Model to Predict the Impact of Flow Rate and Turbidity on the Performance of Multimedia Filters
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
This paper uses fuzzy logic-based models to predict and evaluate the performance of multimedia filters utilized in wastewater treatment. A fuzzy logic-based model is constructed and trained to predict the operating time ...
The influence of bus service satisfaction on university students' mode choice
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd

Sustainable development is Qatar's main national goal. The fact that Qatar has secured the World Cup bid for 2022 will make it the first Arab country to host the world cup. This honor and Qatar's plan to advance its ...
Effectiveness of Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix in Strengthening Reinforced Concrete Beams
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the efficiency of fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) in enhancing the flexural capacity and deformational characteristics of RC beams. In the main experimental part of the paper, 12 RC beams, ...
FRP/stirrups interaction of shear-strengthened beams
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
This work includes experimental testing and finite element analysis of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) shear-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The strengthening techniques used for the beam strengthening are ...
A 10-step safety management framework for construction small and medium-sized enterprises
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
It is of great importance to develop an occupational health and safety management system (OHS MS) to form a systemized approach to improve health and safety. It is a known fact that thousands of accidents and injuries occur ...
Behaviour of fibre reinforced concrete using steel slag coarse aggregate produced in Qatar
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The state of Qatar suffers from the shortage of natural resources needed for concrete production. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the feasibility of using by-product recycled materials as aggregates to maintain ...
