Near Surface Embedded Application for FRCM Strengthening of RC Beams in Flexure
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the efficacy of a recent strengthening technique, referred to as Near Surface
Embedded (NSE), has been investigated for flexural strengthening of Reinforced Concrete
(RC) beams using Fabric Reinforced ...
Influence of Water Table Fluctuation on Natural Source Zone Depletion in Hydrocarbon Contaminated Subsurface Environments
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Most of the prediction theories regarding dissolution of organic contaminants in the
subsurface systems have been proposed based on the static water conditions and
the influence of water fluctuations on mass removal requires ...
Predicted and Back-calculated Coefficients of Permeability of Randomly Fractured Rock Mass: A Case Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the discrepancy between the coefficients of permeability measured
for randomly fractured limestone using field falling-head tests and that back-calculated
for the same rock mass based on the actual ...
Evaluation of Federal Highway Administration’s Traffic Noise Model for Pavements in Qatar
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Book chapter)
Traffic noise is an irritating problem especially for residents near major transportation corridors. It’s in the interest of transportation agencies to check the noise level to develop measures to reduce noise if it exceeds ...

(
Kuwait University
, 2020 , Article)
The purpose of this paper is to obtain a set of critical success factors (CSFs) for selecting building contractors in Qatar to help investors effectively and efficiently build their houses. First, a systematic review of ...
A framework for the analysis of damage and recovery characteristics of asphalt mixtures
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2020 , Article)
This study presents two approaches for evaluating damage and recovery characteristics of asphalt mixtures. The first approach focuses on determining damage by extracting recoverable viscoelastic strain that has no damage ...
Cost-benefit analysis of BIM-enabled design clash detection and resolution
(2020 , Article)
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly deployed as part of the processes in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry projects. While the benefits of BIM have been extensively proclaimed, ...
Methods for modeling and evaluating construction disputes: A critical review
(
IEEE
, 2020 , Article)
Cost and time are the targeted outcomes of any successful construction project, and disputes over these two key factors constitute a major obstacle to successful project outcomes. As escalated levels of dispute are becoming ...
Application of Tools of Quality Function Deployment and Modified Balanced Scorecard for Optimal Allocation of Pavement Management Resources
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2020 , Article)
Pavement management is a set of tools used to evaluate and maintain pavements so that the pavements can be used safely and effectively over a certain period. Many traditional methods were and are still being used by entities ...
