Performance evaluation of full-scale sections of asphalt pavements in the State of Qatar
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2014 , Article)The population and economy in the State of Qatar have been increasing in the past 5 years. Accordingly, traffic loading has also increased rapidly, which affected the performance of existing roads and highways. This high ... -
Performance Evaluation of Vehicle Restraint Systems in the Context of Design and Installation
(2021 , Article)Vehicle Restraint Systems (VRS), a necessary component of the road design, are widely implemented by transport authorities to protect vehicles from severe incidents, mainly colliding to the roadside as well as median ... -
Performance of corrosion-aged Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams rehabilitated with Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM)
( International Committee of the SCMT conferences , 2016 , Conference Paper)This paper reports on the feasibility of using fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems to rehabilitate corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Seven large-scale RC beams were constructed and tested ... -
Performance of FRCM strengthened RC beams subject to fatigue
( International Committee of the SCMT conferences , 2016 , Conference Paper)Fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) is a relatively new material system recently developed for the repair, retrofit, and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete (RC) and masonry structures. Concrete structures such ... -
Performance of FRCM-Strengthened RC Beams Subject to Fatigue
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2017 , Article)Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) is a relatively new material system developed for the repair, retrofit, and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete (RC) and masonry structures. Structures such as bridges experience ... -
Performance of Mild Steel and Corrosion-Resistant Steel Rebars in Chloride-Contaminated Concrete
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure in Arabian Peninsula is subjected to harsh climatic conditions of high temperatures, humidity, and airborne chlorides and there is a high concentration of salts in seawater and soils. ... -
Performance of modified self-healing concrete with calcium nitrate microencapsulation
( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)This study investigates the strength reduction associated with incorporating calcium nitrate microcapsules in concrete. It also proposes modifications to the calcium nitrate micro encapsulation procedure to minimize the ... -
Performance of Seawater-Mixed Recycled-Aggregate Concrete
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2020 , Article)The use of seawater and recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) in concrete mixtures leads to the production of a very sustainable concrete. The potential risk of steel reinforcement corrosion (due to chloride in the seawater) in ... -
Performance of the pressure assisted forward osmosis-msf hybrid desalination plant
( MDPI AG , 2021 , Article)An osmotically driven membrane process was proposed for seawater pretreatment in a multi-stage flashing (MSF) thermal plant. Brine reject from the MSF plant was the draw solution (DS) in the forward osmosis (FO) process ... -
Perspectives on food waste management: Prevention and social innovations
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article Review)Food waste is one of the challenging issues humans are facing. A third of the food produced in the world is wasted at various points along the food supply chain. Food waste can be reduced by developing technology that can ... -
Pervasive Fibre-optic sensor networks in bridges: A UK case study
( CRC Press/Balkema , 2018 , Conference Paper)Integrating fibre-optic sensor networks in a newly-constructed infrastructure assets enables datadriven performance assessment during its construction and throughout its operational life. As part of a multimillion pound ... -
Pile defect assessment using distributed temperature sensing: fundamental questions examined
( SAGE Publications Ltd , 2024 , Article)Thermal integrity testing has been successfully used to assess the quality of cast-in-place piles for the past decade. It employs temperature data measured during concrete curing to identify defects along the piles' length. ... -
Pile Integrity Assessment through a Staged Data Interpretation Framework
( CRC Press , 2023 , Book chapter)Given the inherent nature of how deep cast-in-situ concrete foundations (piles and diaphragm walls) are constructed, evaluating their integrity is difficult. Several well-established methods for testing integrity have been ... -
The PiP model and progress in ground vibration from railways
( Australian Acoustical Society , 2017 , Conference Paper)Vibration in the ground causes problems. At large amplitude vibration causes damage, the most obvious example being earthquake damage. But the ground motion in a damaging earthquake is typically low-frequency (below 1Hz) ... -
Planning post-disaster reconstruction efforts of damaged transportation networks
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2009 , Conference Paper)Planning, Reconstruction Efforts, Transportation, Network Analysis. Planning the reconstruction efforts of damaged transportation networks in the aftermath of natural disasters is a challenging task due to the limited ... -
Plastic hinge length of rectangular RC columns using ensemble machine learning model
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)It is critical to properly define the plastic hinge region (the region that is exposed to maximum plastic deformation) of reinforced concrete (RC) columns to assess their performances in terms of ductility and energy ... -
Poly (amido amine) dendrimer based membranes for wastewater treatment - A critical review
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article Review)Membrane based wastewater treatment technologies in which polymeric membranes are most commonly used have been extensively applied in water/wastewater treatment to help address the issue of water shortage through ... -
Pore networks to characterize formation damage due to fines at varied confinement and sand shape
( European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, EAGE , 2019 , Conference Paper)Carbon sequestration in geological formations is in demand for many applications, especially energy production from hydrates.
