Comparison of the Mechanical Behavior of Railroad Ballast in a Box Test under Sinusoidal and Realistic Train Loadings Using Discrete Element Method
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
A ballasted track is a popular type of railway track and its use is increasing all over the
world. A ballasted track consists of different structural elements like rails, fasteners,
sleepers, ballast layer, sub-ballast ...
An Artificial Intelligence Approach to Estimate Travel Time along Public Transportation Bus Lines
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Public transportation sectors have played significant roles in accommodating passengers
and commodities efficiently and effectively. The modes of public transportation
often follow pre-defined operation schedules and routes. ...
Optimum Dispersion Parameters of Carbon Nanotubes: Concrete Strength by Response Surface Methodologies
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
"This paper implements Response Surface Methodologies (RSM) techniques to illustrate
the maximum carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-concrete mechanical properties responses to the
length, weight fraction and treatment variables. ...
Development of Warm Mix Asphalt with the Aid of Microstructural Characterization
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
The polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) reveals different types of advantageous properties
depending on the type of polymer. However, one of the unwanted changes in PMA is the
required higher temperature for mixing and compaction. ...
Dosage Optimization of Polypropylene Fiber for Strength Enhancement of Cementitious Composites
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
"Concrete is the most commonly used materials for construction in Qatar as well as in
the world. Exposure to sever environmental conditions causes physical deterioration
of concrete structures and significantly affect ...
Practical Implementation of Contract Administration Performance Model in Qatar Construction Projects
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Globally, the performance of Construction Contract Administration (CCA) is becoming of significant interest as the industry suffers from notable delays, cost overruns, and disputes as a consequence of poor contract ...
Enhancement of Naphthalene Biodegradation by Sulfate Application in Brackish Subsurface Systems
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Anaerobic biodegradation is the most dominant mechanism in the petroleum hydrocarbon
contaminated subsurface systems. Due to depletion of terminal electron acceptors such
as sulfate, anaerobic degradation of organic ...
Long-Term Cost Performance of Corrosion-Resistant Reinforcements in Structural Concrete
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Corrosion, which leads to the premature deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC)
structures, is increasingly an issue of global concern. Accordingly, corrosion-resistant
materials have emerged as alternative reinforcement ...
Cantilever Beam Metastructure for Passive Broadband Vibration Suppression
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a beam structure of a new metamaterial-inspired dynamic vibration
attenuation system. The proposed experimental research presents a designed cantilevered
zigzag structure that can have natural frequency ...
Impact of Ionic Strength on Colloid Retention in a Porous Media: A Micromodel Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Release of deposited colloids in the soil porous media during two-phase flow poses
potential health hazard due to the facilitated transport of contaminants towards
groundwater reservoirs. Considerable uncertainties exist ...
