State-of-the-art review on sustainable design and construction of quieter pavements-Part 1: Traffic noise measurement and abatement techniques
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2016 , Article)
Noise pollution due to highway traffic has drawn the attention of transportation agencies worldwide. Noise pollution is an irritant to residents, especially in urban areas near roads with high traffic volume. In addition ...
Use of local discarded materials in concrete
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Steel slag, a by-product of steel manufacturing, is generated in large quantities in Qatar. In fact, it is estimated that more than 400,000tons of steel slag are generated annually in the country. Gravel, resulting from ...

(
Hindawi Limited
, 2019 , Article)
Recently, remarkable types of carbon nanofilaments called carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have raised the interest of many concrete and cementitious composite researchers due to their significant mechanical, electrical, thermal, ...
Introducing data-centric engineering to instrumented infrastructure
(
ICE Publishing
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
A variety of methods exist in the structural health monitoring literature that aim to combine the observed data and predicted outputs from physics-based models (e.g. model updating and calibration). Typically implemented ...
Monitoring of shaft excavations in clay
(
ICE Publishing
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Field observations of infrastructure performance, during and following construction, are vital for efficient design of infrastructure in subsequent projects. Fibre optic sensing technology offers considerable benefits ...
Real-time statistical modelling of data generated from self-sensing bridges
(
ICE Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
Instrumentation of infrastructure is changing the way engineers design, construct, monitor and maintain structures such as roads, bridges and underground structures. Data gathered from these instruments have changed the ...
Flexural vibration attenuation properties of phononic crystals
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Phononic crystals (PCs) have the ability to have phononic bandgaps dependent on the acoustic properties of its constituent materials (i.e., mass, elasticity). Forming a 1D periodic variation using a viscoelastic material ...
