Technologies Serving Concrete for Economy, Durability and Sustainability
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Concrete comes as the second most used material after water in the world, but it is the
first used construction material especially in Middle East. World population is increasing
while resources are decreasing. Therefore, ...
Influence of Aspect Ratio on the Bearing Capacity and Correlated Modulus of Subgrade Reaction for Shallow Foundations on Dense Sand
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
One of the most fundamental problems in the field of geotechnical engineering is the
prediction of bearing capacity and settlement of shallow foundations on cohesion-less
soil subjected to vertical central loading. The ...
Challenges for the Use of Local Materials in Unbound Road Subbase in Qatar
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Current practice in Qatar is to blend local limestone with dune sand for use in unbound
pavement applications. Dune sand is used to improve the properties of fine aggregate
and compliance with the QCS 2014 requirements of ...
Use of Crumb Rubber Modified Binders and Asphalt Mixtures in Public Works Authority Road Projects - State of Qatar
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper illustrates the approach adopted by the Public Works Authority (Ashghal)
of the State of Qatar for the widespread implementation in road projects of paving
technologies related to the use of crumb rubber modified ...
Mechanical and Durability Characteristics of Roller Compacted Geopolymer Concrete Using Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Every year a large quantity of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is generated in
the USA. Utilization of RAP can solve the storage problem, prevent environmental
pollution and reduce construction costs. This study focuses ...
Sustainability in Construction: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle for a Greener Qatar
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, an innovative Engineering Sustainability Policy (ESP) and a new Sustainable
Engineering Index (SEI) is proposed on the basis of testing results obtained within the
context of the DN16 project in the State ...
Dynamic Imaging of Hydrate Specific Area Evolution during Xenon Hydrate Formation
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Gas hydrates are ice-like structures formed under high pressure and low temperature
conditions. They are considered as a potential energy source due to their abundance
and the increase in energy demand worldwide. A fundamental ...
Vehicle Inspection Policy and Emission Analysis in Kuwait
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
"Technical vehicle inspection centers are widespread in Kuwait. All vehicles should
pass the test every two years if not older than six years or every one-year for other
vehicles. This study provided an insight into the ...
Project Management: Key Initiatives Case Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Every project faces risk of delays and disruptions, especially the mega/complex projects of today, which have, amongst others, many interfacing parties engaged. Local roads and drainage projects in general, including DN016, ...
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 ...
