Measuring construction materials price fluctuation risk
(
Canadian Society for Civil Engineering
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Construction projects costs are believed to be highly susceptible to a combination of internal and external factors. One of these factors is the prices of construction materials and the risk of their fluctuation. This paper ...
Developing a framework for calculating LCA normalization factors for the State of Qatar
(
Canadian Society for Civil Engineering
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) has recently emerged as a powerful tool for assessing the environmental impact of materials, systems and processes used in building construction. With its ability to clarify the ambiguities of the ...

Emerald
, 2013 , Article)
In 2022, Qatar will become the first Middle Eastern and Arab country to host such an important Mega-Event as the FIFA World Cup. Global cultural and sporting Mega Events have driven the urban transformation of cities such ...
Practical teaching and its importance in teaching civil engineering
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Students pursuing their civil engineering degree usually learn the theory part in class but may struggle to relate theory to practice if the instructor has no industry experience. Engineering graduates can benefit more ...

Finite element modelling of shear strengthened reinforced concrete beams
(
International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC)
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
This research aims at creating precise finite element models for FRP shear strengthened concrete beams. It is inspired by the fact that the determination of the structural behaviour of the shear strengthened beams requires ...
A solid-phase extractant based on microemulsion modified date pits for toxic pollutants
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Application of microemulsion modified raw date pits as an inexpensive solid extractant for removing methylene blue (MB), copper ion (Cu2+) and cadmium ion (Cd2+) has been presented. The results summarised herein are also ...
Status quo and critical review of PPV safe limits for subsurface construction blasting close to low-rise buildings
(
Taylor and Francis - Balkema
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Subsurface construction blasting may result sever man-made ground vibrations.Waves generated due to detonating a charge in a solid medium like rock generate particle movement and travel at different wave velocities. As ...
