Sustainable buildings and related construction techniques are becoming increasingly recognized within the urban planning development in Qatar. The study aims to develop an analytical review of sustainable green projects ...

Pile thermal integrity assessment by means of temperature measurement has received increasing attention in recent years. The thermal integrity testing method measures temperature changes during the concrete curing process; ...

More than 90% of the water requirement for the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC/KKTC) was being supplied from groundwater resources, while the rest was being provided from surface waters and seawater until the ...

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 ...

Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures subjected to severe environments is a big challenge and requires huge repair and maintenance costs. Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement with its ...

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 ...

This paper presents a new test setup of experiments to investigate corrosion at lapped spliced joints using accelerated corrosion test. The experiments were carried out on two set of samples: cylinders and beam blocks. ...

This paper summarizes a case study of a failure in a mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall ramp heading to a multilevel interchange. The failure was caused by a washout cavity resulting from a long-term leakage from ...

In recent years, the Doha Metro has been the spearhead of Qatar's effort to expand and upgrade its transportation infrastructure. In its current phase it will comprise three lines of an approximate overall length of 76 ...
