Estimating the elastic settlement of piled foundations on rock
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2015 , Article)
This research introduces a simple method for preliminary evaluation of the elastic settlement of piled foundations resting on rock. Despite a significant number of publications in this area, the present effort is distinguished ...
Laboratory testing of full-scale pipes partially embedded in soil to study soil-pipe interaction of offshore seabed oil and gas pipelines - Initial observations
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The geotechnical aspect of the design of off-shore oil and gas pipelines is a challenge due to inherent uncertainties in predicting soil-pipe interaction behaviour. Physical modeling is often sought after to gain insight ...
Characterisation of fatigue resistance of alternative pavement design for the state of Qatar
(
Taylor and Francis - Balkema
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Asphalt mixtures have been designed in the past in the State of Qatar to safeguard against permanent deformation associated with high temperatures. These mixtures are typically designed to have low content of unmodified ...
Settlement of axially loaded piles entirely embedded in rock - analytical and experimental study
(
Taylor and Francis
, 2012 , Article)
Finite element analysis was performed to study the settlement behaviour of axially loaded piles entirely embedded in nonhomogenous rock. The elastic modulus of the rock mass was taken to increase linearly along the pile ...
Shear strength of geosynthetic composite systems for design of landfill liner and cover slopes
(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
Torsional ring shear tests were performed on composite specimens that simulate the field alignment of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill liner and cover system components. Simultaneous shearing was provided to each test ...
Performance assessment of evaporatively-cooled window driven by solar chimney in hot and humid climates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This study investigates the application of the evaporatively-cooled window system in hot and humid climates and assesses its seasonal performance and benefits in terms of energy savings. The validated system is a hybrid ...
Bearing Capacity and Settlement of Skirted Shallow Foundations on Sand
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2013 , Article)
The behavior of axially loaded skirted shallow foundations resting on sand was studied using an extensive numerical analysis. Surface, pier, and skirted square foundations resting on sand with different shear strength ...
Insulator-based dielectrophoresis for fouling suppression in submerged membranes bioreactors: Impact of insulators shape and dimensions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The application of insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) has the potential to enhance membrane fouling suppression in submerged membrane bioreactors without extra energy consumption. In this study, the effect of the ...
Assessment of the taxi service in Doha
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This research focuses on passengers' satisfaction of the taxi service in Doha, Qatar. Qatar is a rich developing country where taxis are widely considered as a public transportation service due to the limited use of the ...
Reveal the hidden layer via entity embedding in traffic prediction
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The neural network-based models have been widely used in traffic prediction. They have improved accuracy and efficiency in traffic flow, speed, passenger flow, and delay. Many variables are considered to predict traffic ...
