Life cycle cost analysis of structural concrete using seawater, recycled concrete aggregate, and GFRP reinforcement
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Using seawater and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in a concrete mix is potentially advantageous from a sustainability perspective. However, the high chloride levels expected in such a case demands ...
Discrete particle translation gradient concept to expose strain localisation in sheared granular materials using 3D experimental kinematic measurements
(
ICE Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
It is well known that the constitutive behaviour of granular materials is influenced by strain localisation into zones of intensive shearing, known as shear bands. The failure mode of specimens tested under axisymmetric ...
An integrated ANP and er condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer networks age, the need for their maintenance arises. Simultaneously, inadequate rehabilitation of sewer pipelines might cause catastrophic failures. Thus, municipalities worldwide must have a detailed knowledge ...

(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The increasing number of skyscrapers along with the large number of tall bridges throughout the world also increases the demand of a robust, automated and remotely controlled health monitoring system for civil architectures. ...
Effect of rail unevenness correlation on the prediction of ground-borne vibration from railways
(
DC/ConfOrg
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the influence of rail unevenness correlation on the predicted track and ground vibration. The study is based on an integrated railway model in the wavenumber-frequency domain with varying complexity ...
Modelling the dynamic pile-soil-pile interaction in a multi-layered half-space
(
DC/ConfOrg
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Within the context of railway ground-borne vibration, the dynamic pile-soil-pile interaction remains an area that has not been sufficiently investigated. Whilst a number of researchers have scrutinised the vibration response ...
Practical teaching and its importance in teaching civil engineering
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Students pursuing their civil engineering degree usually learn the theory part in class but may struggle to relate theory to practice if the instructor has no industry experience. Engineering graduates can benefit more ...
Integration of innovation through analytical hierarchy process (Ahp) in project management and planning
(
Vilnius Gediminas Technical University
, 2019 , Article)
This paper examines the concept of innovation management in the construction industry by studying the major components of the innovation process such as the major drivers of inno-vation, barriers and obstacles that prevent ...
Investigation of Weather Impacts on Pedestrian Volumes
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This study investigates the impacts of temporal and weather characteristics on pedestrian volumes in a hot climate condition. A major neighborhood located in an urban area in Doha, Qatar was chosen as a case study site. ...
