Experimental Investigation on the Flexural Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Treated Wastewater and Recycled Concrete Aggregates
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Eco-friendly concrete is the most recommended sustainable option to reduce the excessive diminution of concrete natural resources and the high generation of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the present study explores ...
Optimum Design of Plane Trusses Using Mathematical and Metaheuristic Algorithms on a Spreadsheet
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Mathematical optimization refers to the process of finding the values of variables that maximize or minimize a function. Structural optimization is the process of designing a structure in such a way as to minimize its ...
Blockchain and its Potential in the Digitization of Land and Real Estate Property Records
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
A blockchain, is a decentralized digital ledger that is distributed across multiple computers, recording transactions in a way that cannot be altered without the consent of the network and the alteration of all subsequent ...
Preliminary Study on the Use of Reclaimed Asphalt in Public Works Authority Road Projects in the State of Qatar
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
This paper describes the outcomes of a preliminary study focused on the evaluation of four full-scale pavement sections in which reclaimed asphalt (RAP) was used in partial substitution of virgin aggregates during the ...
Development of a Comprehensive Pavement Design System for Roads in Wind and Solar Farms
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
This paper briefly, illustrates the structure and contents of an ongoing research program aimed at developing a set of procedures and tools to be used for the design of pavements in renewable energy projects and mainly in ...
Enhancing the Bond Durability of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bars Using Basalt-Macro Fiber Reinforced Concrete
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a study about the bond durability of basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRP) bars embedded in concrete incorporating basalt macro fibers (BMF) when conditioned in harsh saline environment at 60 °C. A ...
Synthesis of Calcium Nitrate Self-Healing Microcapsules Using Aerosol OT Hexane Solution for Cementitious Materials
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Calcium nitrate synthesis of in urea-formaldehyde shell has recently been used to produce self-healing microcapsules for construction applications. The original synthesis was based on water-in-oil emulsion with sulfonic ...
The Effect of Surface Treatment of Basalt FRP Bars on the Shear Capacity of Oneway High-Strength Concrete Slabs
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Corrosion is a common condition encountered by steel reinforcing bars which has a considerable negative impact on the structural integrity of concrete structures. Nowadays, applying anti-corrosive composite materials such ...
Data Interpretation Framework for Pile Thermal Integrity Testing
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Given the inherent nature of how deep cast in-situ concrete foundations (piles and diaphragm walls) are constructed, evaluating their integrity is difficult. Several well-established methods for testing integrity have been ...
Bio-Based Self-Healing Concrete for Sustainable and Durable Concrete Infrastructure
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
In this study, bio-self-healing concrete was manufactured using a natural phenomenon called microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). The bacillus cereus bacteria isolated from Qatari soil was used for this ...
