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 ...
Life Cycle Assessment for Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP)nComposites Used in Concrete Beams: A State-of-the-Art Review
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have become popularly utilized in structural
engineering applications. The common use of the FRP composites is related to their
economic benefits that can be observed right away ...
Near Surface Embedded Application for FRCM Strengthening of RC Beams in Flexure

Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the efficacy of a recent strengthening technique, referred to as Near Surface
Embedded (NSE), has been investigated for flexural strengthening of Reinforced Concrete
(RC) beams using Fabric Reinforced ...
Vibration Prediction Model for Building Developments Adjacent to Railways
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the experimental and computational evaluation of ground-borne
noise and vibration impacts at sensitive receivers in the vicinity of existing track
sections. Vibration problems occur as an effect of train ...
Modelling Catchments in Qatar to Assist in Operations
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Qatar is experiencing unprecedented growth and infrastructure is being developed
at a rapid pace. The infrastructure is served by storm water systems which are under
development and need to be resilient in case of storms. ...
