An assessment tool to evaluate complete streets in developing countries: The case of Qatar
(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
Complete streets refer to a simple and effective transportation policy to improve traffic safety and comfort for all users within urban areas. Car dependency is a major concern in developing countries. Endorsing complete ...
In-service video-vibration monitoring for identification of walking patterns in an office floor
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, IIAV
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Footfall-induced vibrations in office floors can create significant problems for the occupants and facility owners. Such vibrations cannot be modeled by traditional load models since the vibration response of a floor depends ...
A simple method to assess walkability around metro stations
(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The ability to walk or ride a bike safely to and from metro stations is essential to the success of any metro service, especially for car users switching to the service. The main purpose of this study is to develop and ...
Evaluation of traffic noise in the state of qatar
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Mitigating traffic noise is a major concern for transportation departments worldwide. A number of noise mitigation procedures are recognized to control noise emitting from traffic stream. However, noise reduction potential ...
Group Gap Acceptance: A New Method to Analyze Driver Behavior and Estimate the Critical Gap at Multilane Roundabouts
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2018 , Article)
The operations of multilane roundabouts, especially three-lane roundabouts, are unique and more complicated than any other type of roundabouts. This study aims to analyze driver behavior and estimate the critical gap at ...
Condition assessment model for sewer pipelines using fuzzy-based evidential reasoning
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
A condition assessment model for gravity and pressurised sewer pipelines using Fuzzy Set Theory (FST), and Evidential Reasoning (ER) with the aid of Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (FANP) integrated with Monte-Carlo ...
Novel Framework for Vibration Serviceability Assessment of Stadium Grandstands Considering Durations of Vibrations
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Article)
Annoying vibrations in grandstand structures have been receiving more attention due to the increasing slenderness of the architectural components and the complexity of the crowd loading for engineers. The vibration ...
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 ...
Determining relative weights of sewer pipelines' components and defects
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Article)
Condition assessment models for sewer network components can be considered a tool for key personnel to make informed decisions regarding the required interventions on the basis of the current conditions of these components. ...
Multiattribute Utility Theory Deployment in Sewer Defects Assessment
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Article)
Assessing the condition of sewer pipelines is a backbone process to plan for rehabilitation and maintenance work. The closed circuit-television (CCTV) method is the widely adopted method to record the inner condition of ...
