Effect of Pavement Surface Aging on Tire-Pavement Noise: A Case Study in the State of Qatar
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The acoustical performance of asphalt pavements changes with time due to combined effects of environmental conditions and various distresses induced by repeated and heavy traffic. This study examined the changes in the ...
Effectiveness of frcm system in strengthening rc beams in shear using hybrid nse/eb technique
(
ISEC Press
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents an experimental study on the efficacy of a recently introduced hybrid "near surface embedded/ externally bonded" NSE/EB fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM). Seven medium scale RC beams, deficient ...
A study on the bond behavior of different FRCM systems
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Fabric-reinforced cementitous matrix (FRCM) composites are usually applied on the concrete surface for the purpose of strengthening reinforced concrete structures. However, the efficiency of FRCM strengthening is notably ...
Measuring construction materials price fluctuation risk
(
Canadian Society for Civil Engineering
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Construction projects costs are believed to be highly susceptible to a combination of internal and external factors. One of these factors is the prices of construction materials and the risk of their fluctuation. This paper ...
Some observations on soil-pipe interface shear strength in direct shear under low effective normal stresses and large displacements
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Experimental work is undertaken at the University of British Columbia (UBC) to study the soil-pipe interface shear strength at levels of shear displacements and effective normal stresses typically encountered in offshore ...
Effect of surface roughening on concrete/trm bond
(
ISEC Press
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) is applied on the concrete surface with the aim of strengthening reinforced concrete structures. The performance of the strengthened structural system is directly related to the bond between ...
Impact of fines type on gas flow using 3D micro-computed tomography
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Methane hydrates are promising unconventional energy source with natural reserves above 1,000 Trillion m3. Hydrates are found in saturated sandy sediments, where multi-phase flow of gas takes place through sediment's pores, ...

Vibration suppression in metastructures using zigzag inserts optimized by genetic algorithms
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Metastructures are known to provide considerable vibration attenuation for mechanical systems. With the optimization of the internal geometry of metastructures, the suppression performance of the host structure increases. ...
An effective technique utilizing frcm system in strengthening rc beams in shear
(
ISEC Press
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the efficacy of a new technique of fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) for the strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete (RC) beams. This technique involves embedding the FRCM ...
