(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Using seawater and/or recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) for concrete mixing is deemed
advantageous from a sustainability perspective. This paper reports on the results of an
experimental study on fresh and hardened properties ...
Water Supply from Turkey to Cyprus Island with Suspended Marine Pipeline
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
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 ...
Dune Sand Mortar Effects on Deflections of Repaired Steel Bars-Reinforced Concrete Beams
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents theoretical and experimental investigations to analyze the flexural
behavior of reinforced concrete beams repaired with mortars based on dune sands. The
beams supposedly damaged were repaired using ...
