Evaluation of Bond Strength Between Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Composites with Modified Epoxy Resins and Concrete
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Rehabilitation and strengthening of concrete structures are becoming more significant in civil engineering applications. The use of externally bonded Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) is one of the methods to strengthen and ... -
Evaluation of Combined Excavation Waste and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Aggregates for Use in Road Bases and Sub-bases
( OMICS International , 2014 , Article)More than 15 million tons of aggregates are imported each year to Qatar from neighbouring countries. Large quantities of waste materials (around 20 million tons/year) from excavation waste, demolition rubble and reclaimed ... -
Evaluation of Federal Highway Administration’s Traffic Noise Model for Pavements in Qatar
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Book chapter)Traffic noise is an irritating problem especially for residents near major transportation corridors. It’s in the interest of transportation agencies to check the noise level to develop measures to reduce noise if it exceeds ... -
Evaluation of forward osmosis as a pretreatment process for multi stage flash seawater desalination
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)The present study evaluates the feasibility of applying forward osmosis (FO) process for the pretreatment of feed solution to a Multi Stage Flash (MSF) desalination plant. For the first time, real brine reject and real ... -
Evaluation of Noise Performance of Multi-Lane Highways in the State of Qatar
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2019 , Conference Paper)In recent years, a growing number of people are complaining to transportation authorities for the traffic noise as a result of increased traffic volume on the highways. Therefore, transportation authorities are actively ... -
Evaluation of red-light camera enforcement using traffic violations
( Periodical Offices of Chang- an University , 2018 , Article)The State of Qatar started to use red-light cameras in 2007 at key signalized intersections and the rate of installation has subsequently increased. In 2017, 19.2% of signalized intersections are equipped with red-light ... -
Evaluation of short-term aging protocol for asphalt mixtures
( MDPI AG , 2019 , Article)Asphalt mixtures are subjected to short-term aging during the production, placement, and compaction processes. Proper evaluation of asphalt pavement performance relies on the accurate characterization of asphalt mixtures ... -
Evaluation of the critical success factors (CSFs) in selecting building contractors using pareto analysis and the analytical hierarchy process
( Kuwait University , 2020 , Article)The purpose of this paper is to obtain a set of critical success factors (CSFs) for selecting building contractors in Qatar to help investors effectively and efficiently build their houses. First, a systematic review of ... -
Evaluation of traffic noise in the state of qatar
( CRC Press/Balkema , 2018 , Conference Paper)Mitigating traffic noise is a major concern for transportation departments worldwide. A number of noise mitigation procedures are recognized to control noise emitting from traffic stream. However, noise reduction potential ... -
