Applications of virtual construction environments in improving construction site safety
( 10th International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing, Civil-Comp 2005 , 2005 , Conference Paper)The complex nature of construction site safety during construction is a major issue to be considered. Among the top reasons affecting the safety of the construction site is the available workplace and the surrounding ... -
A framework for construction workspace management: A serious game engine approach
( 2012 ASCE International Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering , 2012 , Conference Paper)Construction workspace is regarded as one of the main constraints on construction sites. Construction workspaces are generally difficult to proactively plan and manage due to the dynamic nature of a site where workspace ... -
Status quo and critical review of PPV safe limits for subsurface construction blasting close to low-rise buildings
( Taylor and Francis - Balkema , 2013 , Conference Paper)Subsurface construction blasting may result sever man-made ground vibrations.Waves generated due to detonating a charge in a solid medium like rock generate particle movement and travel at different wave velocities. As ... -
Analysis of Construction Critical Success Factors (CSF) for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) for Sports Infrastructure in Qatar Using Relative Importance Index
( IEOM Society , 2021 , Conference Paper)Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a unique procurement method that tends to increase in the recent period due to its sustainable approach. Its main feature is to create a partnership between public and private stakeholders ... -
Gear Tooth Crack Detection Using Modal Analysis
( IEEE , 2022 , Conference Paper)This paper aims to propose an experimental method to detect and quantify the existence of cracks in spur gear teeth using modal analysis. Frequency Response Functions FRFs obtained analytically in previous work are considered ... -
Modelling wave behaviour of elastic helical waveguides
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Conference Paper)Curved and straight waveguides are ubiquitous in engineering structures. For modelling these structures in the mid-frequency and high-frequency range, the knowledge of the wave behaviour can be greatly beneficial. This ... -
Libya's Arab spring: The long road from revolution to democracy
( SAGE , 2012 , Article)This article presents a critical account of Libya's incipient democratization, contextualizing it within the Arab Spring élan. This first line of inquiry is twofold: it critically assesses the meaning of democratization ... -
The impact of the Arab spring on the gulf cooperation council
( Taylor & Francis , 2015 , Article)It is apposite to interrogate the notion of ‘monarchical exceptionalism’ when testing the idea that the ‘Arab Spring’ has not affected the so-called ‘ruling bargain’ in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The Arab Spring ... -

Writing democracy: An end of author ‘turn’?: From ‘fake news’ to ‘fake democratization'
( Intellect Publishers , 2018 , Article)This article problematizes questions of ontology and epistemology in the context of the study of norm-making primarily within academia (with special reference to democratization) and secondarily within media. It showcases ... -
Regionalism in Crisis: GCC Integration without Democracy
( Taylor & Francis , 2020 , Article)At the core of “disembedded regionalism” in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is an incapacity to foster more representative forms of politics that are responsive to citizens. Instead, elite-to-elite relations are a salient ... -
The GCC in Crisis: Explorations of ‘Normlessness’ in Gulf Regionalism
( Taylor & Francis , 2020 , Article)In a field that is so loosely theorised, an investigation into intra-GCC conflict is both apposite and challenging. Empirically, interventions by Gulf states have proliferated across the GCC and MENA since 2011. This Special ... -
Experimental validation of nine-level switched-capacitor inverter topology with high voltage gain
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2021 , Article)This paper proposes a new switched-capacitor nine-level (9L) inverter with reduced switch count. In the proposed topology, floating capacitor (FC) is employed as a voltage booster, and it does not need any additional sensors ... -
