Assessment of abnormally low tenders: a multinomial logistic regression approach
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
This study was performed in order to reveal factors affecting abnormally low tenders (ALTs) and to minimize negative effects of them. A thorough literature review was carried out to observe past research about the reasons ...
Effects of Fine-Grained Particles' Migration and Clogging in Porous Media on Gas Production from Hydrate-Bearing Sediments
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2019 , Article)
The migration of fine particles in porous media has been studied for different applications, including gas production from hydrate-bearing sediments. The clogging behavior of fine particles is affected by fine particle-pore ...
Textile-Reinforced Mortar (TRM) System as a Strengthening Technique on Reinforced Concrete Beams
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
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 PiP model and progress in ground vibration from railways
(
Australian Acoustical Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Vibration in the ground causes problems. At large amplitude vibration causes damage, the most obvious example being earthquake damage. But the ground motion in a damaging earthquake is typically low-frequency (below 1Hz) ...
Virtual environments for improving construction site safety
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2011 , Article)
This paper aims to present a visual simulation technique for improving construction site safety based on virtual construction environments (VCE). Additionally, the paper presents a framework to conduct true ‘what-if’ ...
Integration of Captivate and JOOMLA: Online demonstration and assessment elearning resources
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
The system uses Adobe Captivate [1] to create and generate the learning and assessments materials in PDF format to allow students to access the learning materials and to do the assessment interactively. Each assessment is ...
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 ...

(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2014 , Article)
The population and economy in the State of Qatar have been increasing in the past 5 years. Accordingly, traffic loading has also increased rapidly, which affected the performance of existing roads and highways. This high ...
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 ...
