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 ... -
Using Reclaimed Asphalt and Polymer Modified Asphalt (PMA) to Maximize Cost Saving over the Pavement Life-Cycle in Qatar
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Low performing asphalt mixes along with poor construction practices reduce the pavement serviceability and lead to early failure under repetitive traffic. Government agencies are sometimes urged to implement maintenance ... -
Vehicle Inspection Policy and Emission Analysis in Kuwait
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)"Technical vehicle inspection centers are widespread in Kuwait. All vehicles should pass the test every two years if not older than six years or every one-year for other vehicles. This study provided an insight into the ...
