High and Ultra-high Performance Concretes: A Solution to Reinforced Concrete Durability under Harsh Climate of Arabian Gulf
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure in the Arabian Gulf region deteriorates under
severe environmental conditions after only short service life. To overcome this problem,
it is imperative to employ high-quality concretes ...
Early Hepatic Gene Expression Profile of Lipid Metabolism of Mice on High Fat Diet after Treatment with Anti‐Obesity Drugs
(
FASEB
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Obesity is a multifactorial disorder of global scale. The liver plays a vital role in fat metabolism. Disorder of hepatic fat metabolism is associated with obesity and fatty liver disease. This study aimed to detect the ...
Concrete Hydration Model Characterization Using Evolutionary Optimization
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
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; ...
Impact of Draw Solution Concentration on Forward Osmosis Process: A Simulation Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
In this study, a simulation model was used to evaluate the performance of forward
osmosis process. A solution of low salinity was used as the feed solution in forward
osmosis to dilute saline solution (i.e. draw solution) ...
Predicted and Back-calculated Coefficients of Permeability of Randomly Fractured Rock Mass: A Case Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the discrepancy between the coefficients of permeability measured
for randomly fractured limestone using field falling-head tests and that back-calculated
for the same rock mass based on the actual ...
Long-Term Cost Performance of Corrosion-Resistant Reinforcements in Structural Concrete
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Corrosion, which leads to the premature deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC)
structures, is increasingly an issue of global concern. Accordingly, corrosion-resistant
materials have emerged as alternative reinforcement ...
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 ...
