    • Assessment of linear and nonlinear viscoelastic responses of warm-mix asphalt binders 

      Sadeq, M.; Masad, E.; Al-Khalid, H.; Sirin, O. ( CRC Press/Balkema , 2015 , Conference Paper)
      Warm-Mix Asphalt (WMA) technology is widely used in the paving industry due to its impact on reduction of asphalt mixing and compaction temperatures. Characterisation of WMA in the past had focused on evaluating the linear ...

    • Assessment of tire-pavement noise by using on-board sound intensity (Obsi) method in the state of qatar 

      Ohiduzzaman, M.; Sirin, O.; Kassem, E. ( CRC Press/Balkema , 2017 , Conference Paper)
      Tire-pavement noise is the dominant source of traffic noise especially at medium and high speeds. Thus, various transportation agencies and researchers are actively investigating for establishment of accurate test methods ...

    • Characterisation of air voids in w-fam samples using x-ray ct imaging 

      Sadeq M.; Masad E.A.; Al-Khalid H.; Sirin O. ( CRC Press/Balkema , 2018 , Conference Paper)
      This study documents the use of high-resolution X-Ray Computed Tomography to characterise air void distribution in Fine Aggregate Mixtures (FAM) prepared using Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) additives (W-FAM). Specimens were imaged ...

    • Comparing eurocode 2 prestress loss estimations to strains measured on a pretensioned bridge beam 

      Elshafie, M.Z.E.B.; Bosman, T.; Kearsley, E.P.; Skorpen, S.A.; Butler, L.J. ( CRC Press/Balkema , 2019 , Conference Paper)
      The implementation of Eurocode 2 (EC2) for the design of concrete structures in South Africa in the near future is pending and necessitates refined understanding of EC2’s prediction models; including prestress losses and ...

    • Evaluation of traffic noise in the state of qatar 

      Kassem E.; Ohiduzzaman M.; Sirin O. ( 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 ...
