Bond Durability of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bars Embedded in Fiber Reinforced Concrete under the Effect of Saline Environment and Elevated Temperatures
(Civil Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is promising to be an alternative solution for conventional steel to prevent the fast infrastructures' deterioration. Moreover, FRPs are utilized by the construction industry to improve the ...
Development of Variable Message Sings Strategies for Traffic Management at Work Zones
(Civil Engineering, 2020 , Master Thesis)
Work zones are defined as road sections of which different activities such as road construction or maintenance take place. In most work zones, road alignments are different than the pre-work periods. Therefore, speed limits ...
Flexural Strengthening Of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix Systems
(Civil Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
This thesis is an experimental study performed to investigate the effectiveness of near surface embedded (NSE) and the hybrid near surface embedded externally bonded (NSE/EB) fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) ...
Road Users Perception of Dynamic Message Signs And Lane Control Signs
(Civil Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
The state of Qatar is continuously developing and has been capitalizing
enormously in upgrading transportation. The latest upgrade in transportation was the
introduction of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). ...
A Numerical and Experimental Investigation of a Special Type of Floating-Slab Tracks
(Civil Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
This thesis presents a research study on the dynamic behavior of a special type
of FST used in recently built subway system in Doha, Qatar. The special FST has a
continuous concrete slab with periodic grooves for which ...
Engineering A Fertilizing Draw Solution For Irrigation Using Forward Osmosis / Reverse Osmosis Hybrid System
(Civil Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
Large volumes of fresh water are consumed in the human’s daily activities,
producing large volumes of highly contaminated wastewater which exhibits a major
environmental problem. Wastewater is treated using multiple ...
Flexural Behavior of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beams with Recycled Concrete Coarse Aggregates
(Engineering-Civil Engineering, 2017 , Master Thesis)
The State of Qatar has experienced tremendous economic development in the last decades. As a result, massive quantities of building materials have been used to accommodate the great pace in construction. However, Qatar ...
A NON-DESTRUCTIVE METHODOLOGY FOR LEAK DETECTION IN WATER NETWORKS USING INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY (IR) AND GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (GPR)
(Civil Engineering, 2016 , Master Thesis)
Two noninvasive and nondestructive methodologies for detecting leaks in water pipes were proposed and tested. The first method combines the use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for accurate determination of pipe location, ...
Effect of Curing on the Deterioration of RC Structures in the Arabian Gulf
(Civil Engineering, 2020 , Master Thesis)
The deterioration of concrete in the Arabian Gulf is responsible for reduced service life
of reinforced concrete structures. The reasons for degradation are attributed to the harsh
environmental conditions and the ...
Experimental and Theoretical Investigation on Bond Behavior of Tensile Lap Spliced Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bars in High Strength Concrete Beams
(Civil Engineering, 2020 , Master Thesis)
Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) reinforcements are a possible replacement for corroding conventional steel bars. BFRP bars tension lap splices are necessary due to construction stoppages and limitations on rebar ...
