(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
This study reports the statistical significance of using Graphene Oxides (GOs), Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) and Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) on the mechanical properties of cement paste. Samples containing several nanoparticles' ...
Optimum Design of Plane Trusses Using Mathematical and Metaheuristic Algorithms on a Spreadsheet
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Mathematical optimization refers to the process of finding the values of variables that maximize or minimize a function. Structural optimization is the process of designing a structure in such a way as to minimize its ...

Queue Discharge at Freeway On-Ramps Using Coordinated Operation of a Ramp Meter and an Upstream Traffic Signal
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Ramp metering is an effective way of maintaining optimum traffic conditions and mitigating congestion on freeways. Several strategies for ramp metering exist in the literature. They are typically based on the freeway traffic ...
MmWave MIMO-OFDM with Index Modulation: A Pareto-Optimal Trade-off on Spectral-Energy Efficiency
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (MIMO-OFDM-IM) has the potential advantage to balance the trade-off between spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency ...
Exploring Crowd Management and Evacuation Strategies using Microscopic Pedestrian Simulation: A Case Study of Souq Waqif
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Safe egress plans are critical for crowd evacuation at touristic attractions, particularly during special events, as visitors are often unaware of their options. Identification of bottlenecks in the walking spaces are vital ...
Enhancing the Bond Durability of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bars Using Basalt-Macro Fiber Reinforced Concrete
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a study about the bond durability of basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRP) bars embedded in concrete incorporating basalt macro fibers (BMF) when conditioned in harsh saline environment at 60 °C. A ...
Numerical study on the damping characteristics of a shock absorber valve utilizing different velocities through CFD analysis
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Shock absorbers or hydraulic dampers are power dissipating devices. The fluid flow inside the damper is governed by predefined passages. The damping effect is accomplished by the resistance of oil to flow through the ...
