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 ...
A new indirect tensile testing setup to determine stiffness properties of lightly stabilised granular materials
(
Australian Geomechanics Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a new indirect diametral tensile (IDT) testing setup for determining the stiffness modulus and Poisson's ratio for the characterisation of lightly stabilized granular base materials required for pavement ...
A new thermal integrity method for pile anomaly detection
(
DEStech Publications Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Anomaly detection is a hot topic in pile construction which is a complex one due to the intrinsic nature of underground structures, such as limited accessibility, large depth and complex soil profile. Several traditional ...
Numerical study of the attenuation properties of viscoelastic metamaterials
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Metamaterials (MMs) are materials engineered to have a property that is not found in nature. In this study, one-dimensional MMs is investigated, particularly that with a functional elastic wave band gaps where propagation ...
Challenges and Mitigation of Cyber Threat in Automated Vehicle: An Integrated Approach
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The technological development of automated vehicles opens novel cybersecurity threats and risks for road safety. Increased connectivity often results in increased risks of a cyber-security attacks, which is one of the ...
Discrete event simulation for sustainable batch production in food processing
(
Dime University of Genoa
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In a world faced with depleting resources and hazardous biodegradable food wastes, an efficient planning for the food processing operation is crucial to avoid the adverse potential impact of excess food production. This ...
Shear behavior of RC beams strengthened with different types of FRCM: Effect of stirrups' configuration
(
ISEC Press
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix, (FRCM) system has shown to be promising for the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. However, the available experimental investigation on the shear strengthening efficacy ...
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 ...
Investigating the behavior of railroad ballast in a box test under sinusoidal & simulated train loading
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The use of railway transportation systems has been increased throughout the years. Conventional ballasted tracks have been widely used in many countries around the world. Ballast material is the basic element in ballasted ...
Characterisation of air voids in w-fam samples using x-ray ct imaging
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This study documents the use of high-resolution X-Ray Computed Tomography to characterise air void distribution in Fine Aggregate Mixtures (FAM) prepared using Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) additives (W-FAM). Specimens were imaged ...
