Multiattribute Utility Theory Deployment in Sewer Defects Assessment
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Article)
Assessing the condition of sewer pipelines is a backbone process to plan for rehabilitation and maintenance work. The closed circuit-television (CCTV) method is the widely adopted method to record the inner condition of ...
Optimization of chiral lattice based metastructures for broadband vibration suppression using genetic algorithms
(
Academic Press
, 2016 , Article)
One of the major challenges in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering is to develop vibration suppression systems with high efficiency and low cost. Recent studies have shown that high damping performance at broadband ...
Management performance assessment: A method of analytic network process
(
Success Culture Press
, 2019 , Article)
The construction industry is considered risky as labor and machinery intense environment interacts with accelerating and overlapping activities. This situation would result in high number of accidents and fatalities. High ...
Effect of Aging on Viscoelastic Properties of Asphalt Mixtures
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
This study presents a comprehensive laboratory evaluation and statistical analysis of the effect of aging on the viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures. Asphalt mixtures were subjected to different short- and long-term ...
Combined influence of temperature and flow rate of feeds on the performance of forward osmosis
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
The effect of the membrane orientation, feeds flow rate, feeds temperature, and combining effect of both temperature and flow rate on the membrane flux was investigated in order to enhance the performance of forward osmosis ...
Comparative evaluation of fatigue resistance of warm fine aggregate asphalt mixtures
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Fatigue cracking is one of the crucial distresses in asphalt pavements that affect its service life and rehabilitation process. The resistance of asphalt mixtures to fatigue failure in the laboratory experiments is influenced ...
Severity analysis of red-light-running-related crashes using structural equation modeling
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The study investigated factors affecting the severity of red-light-running (RLR) -related crashes by means of crash records from the State of Florida (US). Previous studies have attempted to incorporate road, driver, and ...
A hybrid electro-coagulation/forward osmosis system for treatment of produced water
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Oil and gas exploration produce large volumes highly contaminated produced water (PW) which exhibits a major environmental challenge. This work investigates the application of a novel hybrid system by combining electro-coagulation ...
Safety and security perceptions in informal transport: the case of Tunisia
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2022 , Article)
This study aims to evaluate the perception of safety and security in informal transport in Tunisia. This research employs a questionnaire-based survey of passengers and drivers of informal transport in Tunisia. Interviews ...
Pore-scale mechanisms associated with permeability impairment in porous media: A micromodel study
(
European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, EAGE
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Recently, researchers are attracted towards the gas production from hydrate bearing sediments considering its abundance in marine continental margins and persisting demand for alternate energy. Dissociation of hydrate into ...
