Developing a framework for calculating LCA normalization factors for the State of Qatar
(
Canadian Society for Civil Engineering
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) has recently emerged as a powerful tool for assessing the environmental impact of materials, systems and processes used in building construction. With its ability to clarify the ambiguities of the ...
Mapping the Industrial Perception of Delay Data Through Importance Rating
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The construction industry is struggling with several recorded incidents of delay due to improper planning and/or implementation of required construction measures. The common conclusion by many researchers worldwide is that ...
Simulation-based deterioration patterns of water pipelines
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Water pipelines deteriorate overtime due to several distressing factors. To keep water pipelines in good condition, municipalities need to use reliable and credible deterioration models and inspection plans to better manage ...
Properties of fibre-reinforced concrete made with discarded materials
(
ICE Publishing
, 2019 , Article)
This research paper investigates the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of steel slag aggregates (SSA), gravel aggregates (GLA), natural gabbro aggregates (NGA), and the different fresh and hardened properties ...
Investigating the behavior of railroad ballast in a box test under sinusoidal & simulated train loading
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The use of railway transportation systems has been increased throughout the years. Conventional ballasted tracks have been widely used in many countries around the world. Ballast material is the basic element in ballasted ...
Characterisation of air voids in w-fam samples using x-ray ct imaging
(
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 ...
Determination of stiffness modulus and poisson's ratio of lightly stabilized granular materials from indirect diametral tensile testing
(
ASTM International
, 2016 , Article)
Lightly cementitiously stabilized granular materials are generally characterised by their tensile properties that are required for the analysis and design of a pavement structure involving these materials. Tensile properties ...
Blind identification of the Millikan Library from earthquake data considering soil-structure interaction
(

, 2015 , Article)
The Robert A. Millikan Library is a reinforced concrete building with a basement level and nine stories above the ground. Located on the campus of California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena California, it is ...
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 ...
Evidential Reasoning–Based Condition Assessment Model for Offshore Gas Pipelines
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Article)
Condition assessment of oil and gas pipelines is a significant component in pipeline operations and maintenance. Such assessments are used to ensure better decisions for repair and/or replacement to reduce pipelines’ failure ...
