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 ... -
Numerical Study of Four Bolts End-Plate Joint Behaviour for Robustness Assessment
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)The paper presents new studies on numerical modeling (FEM) for beam-to-column behavior under sagging and hogging bending moment when the framework is exposed to service and unexpected loads that may cause a column loss ... -
Positively Shifting the Mindset in Construction Using Non-Biodegradable Materials for Sustainable Construction: An Experimental Study
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Disposing of the non-biodegradable material, scrap Tire rubber specifically, has always been a bone of contention for the municipalities around the world. Not only the land that it covers is the major issue, but also the ... -
Regulatory Frameworks for the Successful Implementation of Construction and Demolition Waste Treatment Infrastructure
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)In an ever expanding world, our constant need to construct and to support a constantly growing population is resulting in significant increase in construction waste. Rapid expansion is a trend that can be seen throughout ... -
Steel Reinforced Grout for Strengthening of RC T-section Beams Deficient in Shear
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)numerous causes. Thus, proper strengthening and rehabilitation techniques are required to restore the strength and extend the service life of the structures. Steel reinforced grout (SRG) has recently been introduced as an ... -
Structural Efficiency of Steel Stiffening Deck Systems in Suspension Bridges Due to Gravity Loads
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)In this paper, suspended stiffened decks in suspension bridges are considered. Three steel deck-stiffening systems are compared structurally; the plate girder, the box girder and the stiffening truss. A three-span ... -
Sustainability in Construction: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle for a Greener Qatar
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)In this paper, an innovative Engineering Sustainability Policy (ESP) and a new Sustainable Engineering Index (SEI) is proposed on the basis of testing results obtained within the context of the DN16 project in the State ... -
Technologies Serving Concrete for Economy, Durability and Sustainability
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Concrete comes as the second most used material after water in the world, but it is the first used construction material especially in Middle East. World population is increasing while resources are decreasing. Therefore, ... -
The Investigation of an Efficient and Effective Proactive Pipeline Integrity System
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)In this paper, we propose the investigation of an efficient and effective proactive pipeline integrity system that uses multi-sensors for monitoring and inspection of the pipeline. Although the focus is on the pipeline, ... -
Towards Sustainable Public Open Spaces for Promoting Human Comfort, Health and Well-Being: The Case of Oxygen Park in Doha, Qatar
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Public Open Spaces (POS) are an important and necessary component of the urban city design. Well-designed and well-functioning public open spaces provide a variety of social, economic, environmental, physical and ... -
Utilizing Recycled Polypropylene Fibers as Reinforcement for Concrete Beams
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Polypropylene (PP) fibers are among numerous plastic waste materials, which are generated by the different industrial and domestic activities. Due to its low biodegradability, plastic waste constitutes a real environmental ... -
Verification of ACI- 549 Code for Flexural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using FRCM
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)This paper presents an analytical study to verify the ACI 549-4R-16 code for experimentally tested Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams, which were strengthened to enhance the flexural capacity using Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious ... -
