Utilisation of Waste Plastics Admix with Laterite Soil for Production of Road Pavement Interlocking Blocks
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Plastic wastes are non-biodegradable and hence pile up in refuse dumps and streets constituting an eyesore and menace to the environment. Some of them end up in drainages and waterways where they block water passages ...
Launching a 148m-Long Tunnel Boring Machine from a 15m-Inner Diameter Shaft
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
The city of Doha has grown and expanded rapidly in the last 20 years, but this growth has strained the country's infrastructure, including its aging sewerage system and treatment facilities. ASHGHAL has therefore launched ...
Exploring Crowd Management and Evacuation Strategies using Microscopic Pedestrian Simulation: A Case Study of Souq Waqif
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Safe egress plans are critical for crowd evacuation at touristic attractions, particularly during special events, as visitors are often unaware of their options. Identification of bottlenecks in the walking spaces are vital ...
