Development and Performance of Cement Bound Materials in Road Pavements
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)The use of cement bound materials (CBMs) for road construction in Qatar is relatively new. CBM improves the structural capacity and durability of pavement, but considerations should be made to the setting time and strength ... -
Compressive Strength and Hydration of Ravennagrass Baggase Ash Concrete
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)The paper presents the findings of the effect of revennagrass baggase ash concrete compressive strength using compression machine and hydration behavior with the aid of non-contact electrical resistivity measurement device. ... -
Novel Method for Assessing Moisture Damage in Asphalt Mixtures
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Moisture damage is a major cause of early pavement deterioration and often accelerates other distresses such as rutting, fatigue cracking, and raveling. Water infiltrates into the pavement structure through the cracks and ... -
Using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to Evaluate Air Voids Content in Hot Mix Asphalt
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)"Air voids content is one of the most important characteristics of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). Air voids content that is either too high or too low can negatively impact pavement life and lead to deteriorations such as fatigue ... -
Determination of Temperature Zoning for the Great Lakes Region of Africa Based on Superpave System
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)"Majority of the countries in the Great Lakes region of Africa still rely on the traditional Penetration grading approach for characterizing asphalt binder, as opposed to the more recent and reliable approach of SuperPave ... -
Evaluation of Bond Strength Between Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Composites with Modified Epoxy Resins and Concrete
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Rehabilitation and strengthening of concrete structures are becoming more significant in civil engineering applications. The use of externally bonded Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) is one of the methods to strengthen and ... -
