Fatigue Behaviour of Lightly Stabilised Granular Materials from Flexural and Indirect Diametral Tensile Testing
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The fatigue characteristic of a lightly stabilized granular material under traffic loading is an important consideration for the design of a pavement containing such material. This paper presents the evaluation of fatigue ...
Characterization of lightly stabilized granular base materials using monotonic and cyclic load flexural testing
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Article)
Lightly cementitiously stabilized granular materials are generally characterized by their tensile properties and this paper examines the use of monotonic and cyclic load flexural testing to determine the tensile characteristics ...
Causes of construction change orders in Qatar: Contractors' perspective
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2016 , Article)
The construction industry involves complex processes which are prone to various changes and variations. However, it may be argued that the application of change orders within construction projects in the State of Qatar has ...
Recent issues on stadium monitoring and serviceability: A review
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Book chapter)
Unlike most of civil engineering structures whose static and dynamic responses are estimated accurately through several codes and guidance, stadiums reserve a distinctive place especially when it comes to their dynamic ...
Quantification of structural damage with self-organizing maps
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
One of the main tasks in structural health monitoring process is to create reliable algorithms that are capable of translating the measured response into meaningful information reflecting the actual condition of the monitored ...
Automated detection of anomalies in sewer closed circuit television videos using proportional data modeling
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Sewer pipeline condition information is usually collected using closed circuit television (CCTV). Moreover, in order to evaluate the condition of pipeline, data should be processed by a certified operator, which is time ...
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 ...
Scales of flows: Qatar and the urban legacies of mega events
(
Emerald
, 2013 , Article)
In 2022, Qatar will become the first Middle Eastern and Arab country to host such an important Mega-Event as the FIFA World Cup. Global cultural and sporting Mega Events have driven the urban transformation of cities 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 ...
