Emerging Transit Technology: Implementing an Urban Gondola System over Al Corniche, Doha, Qatar - A Cost Estimation Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Urban gondolas are a type of driverless transit vehicles, which are increasingly drawing
the attention as a viable mass transit alternative in urban environments and touristic
areas. The system is distinctive with high ...
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 ...

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. ...
Developing Assessment Framework for Strategic Transportation Projects in Qatar
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents Transportation Assessment Framework and process for selecting,
defining, and naming assessment criteria to be used in transport appraisal. The approach
is based on a review of national and international ...
Optimum Dispersion Parameters of Carbon Nanotubes: Concrete Strength by Response Surface Methodologies
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
"This paper implements Response Surface Methodologies (RSM) techniques to illustrate
the maximum carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-concrete mechanical properties responses to the
length, weight fraction and treatment variables. ...
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 ...
Crowd Dynamics, Management and Control at Tourist Attractions during Special Events: A Case Study at Souq Waqif Using Pedestride® Crowd Simulation Tool
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
"Large crowds can be expected at famous tourist attractions, e.g., Souq Waqif, during
special events such as the FIFA World Cup 2022. A comprehensive understanding of
crowd dynamics is extremely important in order to ...
Effect of Alkaline Activators on the Mechanical Properties of Geopolymer Mortar
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
"Geopolymerization is a process where silica and alumina rich source materials turn
into excellent binding materials by the aid of alkali solutions. Materials such as fly ash
are by-products in energy power plants. Fly ...
