Axial pull-out response of a small-scale concrete pile subjected to cyclic thermal loading in sand
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Energy piles support structural loads and exchange heat with surrounding soils using closed-loop ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems. A GSHP connected to an energy pile operates in cycles where it functions for a period ...
Supply Chain Linked Sustainability Assessment of Electric Vehicles: The Case for Qatar

In this research, theoretical investigation of corrugated aluminum tubes is performed to predicting the energy absorption characteristics. Aim to deform plastic tubes in predetermined intervals, corrugations are introduced ...
Reliability estimation of load sharing capacity-c-out-of-n pairs:G Balanced system
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In many cases, systems are required to provide a specified capacity such as the case of power distribution system. A system fails when its capacity does not meet the required minimum capacity. In this paper, we investigate ...
Ethanol dehydrogenation mechanism on cuni catalysts for hydrogen production
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Ethanol dehydrogenation mechanism was investigated over catalysts containing Cu and Ni metals prepared by solution combustion synthesis. In situ DRIFTS studies were conducted on individual metals (Cu and Ni) as well as on ...
