A comparative study of the treatment of ethylene plant spent caustic by neutralization and classical and advanced oxidation
(
Academic Press
, 2015 , Article)
The treatment of spent caustic produced from an ethylene plant was investigated. In the case of neutralization alone it was found that the maximum removal of sulfide was at pH values below 5.5. The higher percentage removal ...
Textile-Reinforced Mortar (TRM) System as a Strengthening Technique on Reinforced Concrete Beams
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference)
There is considerable investment in construction industry in Qatar for civil infrastructures and taking into account the severe environmental conditions, they would entail for proper maintenance, repair and strengthening ...
The significance of industry experience in civil engineering education
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Conference)
Students pursuing their civil engineering degree usually learn the theory part in class but may struggle relating theory to practice if the instructor have no industry experience. Engineering graduates can benefit more ...

Mitigation of Traffic Congestion Using Ramp Metering on Doha Expressway
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference)
Ramp metering is the most effective and widely implemented strategy for improving traffic flow on freeways by restricting the number of vehicles entering a freeway using ramp meters. A ramp meter is a traffic signal ...
Gas Driven Fracture during Gas Production using HeleShaw Cell
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference)
Methane hydrate is considered a potential energy source, with worldwide reserves on the order of 500-10,000 Gt of carbon. The production of Methane from hydratebearing sediments requires hydrate dissociation for releasing ...
Structural damage detection in real time: Implementation of 1D convolutional neural networks for SHM applications
(
Springer
, 2017 , Conference)
Most of the classical structural damage detection systems involve two processes, feature extraction and feature classification. Usually, the feature extraction process requires large computational effort which prevent the ...
Vibration suppression in metastructures using zigzag inserts optimized by genetic algorithms
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Conference)
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. ...
Groundwater pollution by petroleumderived contaminants in coastal semiarid environment
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference)
A common source of contamination of soil and groundwater in arid and (semi)-arid coastal regions are accidental spills of petroleum products, such as crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel. Groundwater pollution by petroleum ...
Literature Review of Advancements in Adaptive Ramp Metering
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Conference)
Over a period spanning more than 30 years, several ramp metering algorithms have been developed to improve the operation of freeways. Many of these algorithms were deployed in several regions of the world, and field ...
