Embedded Retaining Wall Design and Performance Monitoring for Deep Excavation in Geological Conditions of Qatar
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Embedded retaining walls such as diaphragm walls and secant bored pile walls have
become viable water-tight earth retaining and stabilizing systems for deep excavation
in urban areas. In this article, the design aspects ...
Influence of Fines on the Compressibility of Surface Sands in Kuwait
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Influence of fines on the strength and compressibility of compacted fill soil is very
important in determining its behavior under applied loads. In Kuwait, fill soil is usually
backfilled from excavated surface soils ...
Fully Softened and Residual Shear Strengths of Midra Shale
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a comparison of the fully softened shear strengths measured using
the triaxial and torsional ring shear devices for a shale that possesses noticeably high
plasticity and induration. The residual shear ...
Treatment of Wastewater Using Reverse Osmosis for Irrigation Purposes
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This work investigates the performance of reverse osmosis (RO) for the reclamation
of treated sewage effluent (TSE) to be used as irrigation water for food crops. The
feed water used in this study was a real sample of ...
Derivation of the Governing Differential Equation of Vibrating Host Plate with Two Piezoelectric Patches
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
One of the most difficult challenges facing researchers these days is making industrial
applications (e.g. engines, automobiles, and aircraft) run on renewable energy and
reducing the use of fuel as much as possible. One ...
Accelerated Corrosion Tests on Lapped Spliced Joints in Concrete
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a new test setup of experiments to investigate corrosion at lapped
spliced joints using accelerated corrosion test. The experiments were carried out on two
set of samples: cylinders and beam blocks. ...
Geotechnical Aspects of Sub-Sea Tunnelling on the Musaimeer Pumping Station and Outfall Tunnel Project
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Musaimeer outfall tunnel is one of the longest storm water tunnels in the world with
a total length of 10.2 km. The tunnel is connected via a drop shaft to the main pump
station. This system will accommodate surface and ...
Verification of ACI- 549 Code for Flexural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using FRCM
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents an analytical study to verify the ACI 549-4R-16 code for
experimentally tested Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams, which were strengthened to
enhance the flexural capacity using Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious ...
