Who Is Going to Ride the Upcoming Metro in Qatar?
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Qatar is one of the fastest growing countries around the world, resulting in substantially high private vehicle usage as well as heavy traffic congestion. It is currently estimated that the private car usage is about 85% ...
Developing a framework for pre-design process simulation for green buildings
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
There is an increasing awareness towards the construction of sustainable green buildings. Green rating systems worldwide, such as LEED, are providing standards to aid in the construction of green building. During the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Microstructure investigation of seawater vs. Freshwater cement pastes
(
ISEC Press
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Recently, seawater has emerged as viable mixing water for concrete, especially in the case of non-reinforced concrete applications or with the use of non-corrosive reinforcement. Previous studies concerning seawater-mixed ...
Condition assessment of sewer pipelines using multi attribute utility theory (MAUT)
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Many municipalities rely on the interpretation of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) inspection reports to arrive to a condition assessment grade for the inspected sewer pipelines. The grades stand as a key for decision ...
A new thermal integrity method for pile anomaly detection
(
DEStech Publications Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Anomaly detection is a hot topic in pile construction which is a complex one due to the intrinsic nature of underground structures, such as limited accessibility, large depth and complex soil profile. Several traditional ...
Gas driven fracture during gas production using 3D synchrotron computed tomography
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
During methane gas production from hydrate bearing sandy sediments, fine particles can migrate or clog the pores of sediments. Fines clogging induces a change in pressure gradient which affects the gas flow pattern and ...
Ground-borne vibrations due to railway traffic in urbanized areas: A numerical study about traffic in trench cross-sections
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Modern cities require efficient mass transportation systems like subway and railway networks. Due to the lack of available space and also due to environmental concerns, it is usually preferable to use the underground space ...
Investigating the reasons for choosing a major among the engineering students in Qatar
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The selection of an engineering major is a decision that can influence the career of young students, and possibly their entire fife. The purpose of this study is to understand the factors affecting the selection of an ...
