Seismic Assessment of Existing Lowrise and Midrise Reinforced Concrete Buildings Using the 2014 Qatar Construction Specification
(
American Society of Civil Engineers(ASCE)
, 2018 , Article)
Qatar is considered to have predominantly low seismic activity despite being close to some of the most active seismic zones in the world, including the Zagros thrust belt. However, the strong earthquakes that have recently ...
An economic loss model for failure of sewer pipelines
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
Estimating the costs of failure for sewer pipelines is usually accompanied with uncertainties because of the difficulty in capturing the relationship between the physical and economical characteristics of failed pipelines. ...
Challenges and Mitigation of Cyber Threat in Automated Vehicle: An Integrated Approach
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The technological development of automated vehicles opens novel cybersecurity threats and risks for road safety. Increased connectivity often results in increased risks of a cyber-security attacks, which is one of the ...
Numerical study on the effect of insulator size and shape on fouling suppression by electrodeless dielectrophoresis in submerged membrane bioreactors
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The application of obstacle dielectrophoresis has the potential to enhance membrane fouling suppression in submerged membranes bioreactors while requiring low energy consumption. In this study, the effect of the insulators ...
Methods and Techniques Used in Significant Restoration Projects in Qatar
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
The large number of conservation and restoration works recently completed in Qatar show that there exists a need to enhance appreciation of the local architectural and building traditions, as a way of bringing to light the ...
Numerical study of the attenuation properties of viscoelastic metamaterials
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Metamaterials (MMs) are materials engineered to have a property that is not found in nature. In this study, one-dimensional MMs is investigated, particularly that with a functional elastic wave band gaps where propagation ...
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 ...
User satisfaction and energy use behavior in offices in Qatar
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The occupant behavior significantly contributes to the total energy use in buildings and its understanding is greatly needed in energy analysis/simulation studies. Uncertainties about the occupant behavior adversely affect ...
Edges, Interfaces, and Nexus: New Paradigms for Blue Urban Landscapes in the Gulf
(
Cambridge University Press
, 2018 , Article)

Enquiry-based learning workshop for deep learning in Middle Eastern classrooms?an action research approach
(
Routledge
, 2018 , Article)
The senior year design students and I were dismayed when my linear teaching and their habitual rote learning failed in a Middle Eastern University. The gulf between the curricular objectives and our teaching-learning methods ...
