Development of Warm Mix Asphalt with the Aid of Microstructural Characterization
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
The polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) reveals different types of advantageous properties
depending on the type of polymer. However, one of the unwanted changes in PMA is the
required higher temperature for mixing and compaction. ...
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

A Study on the Default Supplemental Adjustment Factors of Progression Adjustment Factor Formula under Non-Lane Based Traffic Condition
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
A mathematical expression of supplemental adjustment factor (fPA) has provided a way
to estimate Progression Adjustment Factor (P.F.) more accurately as the P.F. relies on
the fPA value. The mathematical formula of fPA ...
