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 ...
Performance of FRCM strengthened RC beams subject to fatigue
(
International Committee of the SCMT conferences
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) is a relatively new material system recently developed for the repair, retrofit, and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete (RC) and masonry structures. Concrete structures such ...
Automated detection of anomalies in sewer closed circuit television videos using proportional data modeling
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Sewer pipeline condition information is usually collected using closed circuit television (CCTV). Moreover, in order to evaluate the condition of pipeline, data should be processed by a certified operator, which is time ...
Quantification of structural damage with self-organizing maps
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
One of the main tasks in structural health monitoring process is to create reliable algorithms that are capable of translating the measured response into meaningful information reflecting the actual condition of the monitored ...
Performance of corrosion-aged Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams rehabilitated with Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM)
(
International Committee of the SCMT conferences
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports on the feasibility of using fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems to rehabilitate corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Seven large-scale RC beams were constructed and tested ...
Demonstrating the Worth of Recycled Aggregates - A Case Study from Qatar
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Recycled aggregates are widely used in unbound applications in many countries. However, in some areas the materials available may not meet all the requirements of the local specifications. This is the case in Qatar, where ...
Comparing eurocode 2 prestress loss estimations to strains measured on a pretensioned bridge beam
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The implementation of Eurocode 2 (EC2) for the design of concrete structures in South Africa in the near future is pending and necessitates refined understanding of EC2’s prediction models; including prestress losses and ...
Grouping minimum REV of porosity and tortuosity based on descriptors of sand grains
(
European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, EAGE
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
In sandy reservoirs, selecting a representative elementary volume (REV) for the pore scale, is essential for predictive upscaling toward the reservoir scale. The porosity and tortuosity of a sand media are used for REV ...
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 ...
Experimental study of the attenuation properties of metal-viscoelastic bi-layered materials
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Phononic crystals (PCs) are multi-layered materials with functional elastic wave band gaps where propagation of vibration within these band gaps is restricted. PCs have vibration attenuation properties dependent on their ...
