Development of a new excavation technique for centrifuge testing in sand
( CRC Press/Balkema , 2021 , Book chapter)Even though shaft excavation is a key part of tunnelling projects in large cities, many uncertainties about their actual performance still exist in practice and only very few case studies have been reported in the literature. ... -
Estimating the in-plane lateral resistance of reinforced log wall employing soft modelling techniques
( IGI Global , 2024 , Book chapter)The popularity of log houses has been on the rise in numerous regions worldwide. In the context of log construction, the stability of log walls is notably influenced by the friction existing between the layers of logs and ... -
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 ... -
Forward osmosis feasibility and potential future application for desalination
( Elsevier , 2018 , Book chapter)Forward Osmosis has been intensively investigated for seawater desalination in the past decade. However, the application of technology is still limited apart from a number of pilot and small commercial plants. Initially, ... -

IOT technologies and their applications in higher education
( Taylor and Francis , 2023 , Book chapter)Technology development has recently focused on significant improvements in the way we achieve and process information from objects and systems to make decision. The communication among these objectives and different kinds ... -
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 ... -
Predicting the Fundamental Period of Light-Frame Wooden Buildings by Employing Bat Algorithm-Based Artificial Neural Network
( IGI Global , 2023 , Book chapter)The study utilizes an artificial neural network model for determining the fundamental period of Light-Frame Wooden Buildings, employing the Bat algorithm on a data set of 71 measured periods of wooden buildings. The number ... -
Recent issues on stadium monitoring and serviceability: A review
( Springer New York LLC , 2016 , Book chapter)Unlike most of civil engineering structures whose static and dynamic responses are estimated accurately through several codes and guidance, stadiums reserve a distinctive place especially when it comes to their dynamic ...
