Uptake of Reactive Black 5 by pumice and walnut activated carbon: Chemistry and adsorption mechanisms
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The potential of using pumice and walnut wood activated carbon as low-cost adsorbents for the removal of the diazo dye Reactive Black 5 (RB5) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The Langmuir isotherm fit to the data ...
A model for predicting failure of oil pipelines
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2014 , Article)
Oil and gas pipelines transport millions of dollars of goods everyday worldwide. Even though they are the safest way to transport petroleum products, pipelines do still fail generating hazardous consequences and irreparable ...
Uptake of Reactive Black 5 by pumice and walnut activated carbon: Chemistry and adsorption mechanisms

Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry
, 2014 , Article)
The potential of using pumice and walnut wood activated carbon as low-cost adsorbents for the removal of the diazo dye Reactive Black 5 (RB5) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The Langmuir isotherm fit to the data ...
Estimating the elastic settlement of vertically loaded single piles in rock
(
Trans Tech Publications
, 2014 , Article)
An extensive finite element analysis was performed to study the settlement behavior of vertically loaded piles entirely embedded in non-homogeneous rock. To avoid utilizing interrelated parameters, pile-rock relative ...
Experimental investigation of the influence of grain geometry on residual NAPL using synchrotron microtomography
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
The objective of this work was to investigate the impact of grain geometry (size and shape) of porous media on the morphology of residual NAPL. Synchrotron microtomography was used to obtain maps of residual NAPL in ...
Numerical modeling of shear strengthened reinforced concrete beams using different systems
(
American Society of Civil Engineers
, 2014 , Article)
This research aims at creating finite-element models for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) shear strengthened concrete beams. It is inspired by the fact that the determination of the structural behavior of shear strengthened ...
Flexural and interfacial behavior of externally bonded/ mechanically fastened fiber-reinforced polymer-strengthened reinforced concrete beams
(
American Concrete Institute
, 2014 , Article)
The determination of structural behavior requires advanced numerical methods, of which results are substantiated by credible experimental findings. This research aims to create precise finite element models for fiber-reinforced ...
Implementation of mechanistic-empirical pavement analysis in the State of Qatar
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2014 , Article)
The State of Qatar is experiencing tremendous growth in infrastructure including road network and highways. The current methods used in design of asphalt pavements in the State of Qatar are empirical and might not be ...
Modeling of the sustainability goal and objective setting process in the predesign phase of green institutional building projects
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2014 , Article)
The process of constructing a sustainable green building presents a number of challenges compared with regular buildings. Additional work and documentation is needed in every stage of the project life cycle for the sustainable ...
Condition prediction models for oil and gas pipelines using regression analysis
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2014 , Article)
Although they are the safest means of transporting oil and gas products, pipelines can sometimes fail with hazardous consequences and large business losses. The decision to replace, repair, or rehabilitate depends mainly ...
