Long-Term Cost Performance of Corrosion-Resistant Reinforcements in Structural Concrete
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Corrosion, which leads to the premature deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, is increasingly an issue of global concern. Accordingly, corrosion-resistant materials have emerged as alternative reinforcement ... -
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 ... -
Optimum Dispersion Parameters of Carbon Nanotubes: Concrete Strength by Response Surface Methodologies
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)"This paper implements Response Surface Methodologies (RSM) techniques to illustrate the maximum carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-concrete mechanical properties responses to the length, weight fraction and treatment variables. ... -
Practical Implementation of Contract Administration Performance Model in Qatar Construction Projects
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Globally, the performance of Construction Contract Administration (CCA) is becoming of significant interest as the industry suffers from notable delays, cost overruns, and disputes as a consequence of poor contract ... -
Predicted and Back-calculated Coefficients of Permeability of Randomly Fractured Rock Mass: A Case Study
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)This paper presents the discrepancy between the coefficients of permeability measured for randomly fractured limestone using field falling-head tests and that back-calculated for the same rock mass based on the actual ... -
Steel Reinforced Grout for Strengthening of RC T-section Beams Deficient in Shear
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)numerous causes. Thus, proper strengthening and rehabilitation techniques are required to restore the strength and extend the service life of the structures. Steel reinforced grout (SRG) has recently been introduced as an ... -
The Investigation of an Efficient and Effective Proactive Pipeline Integrity System
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)In this paper, we propose the investigation of an efficient and effective proactive pipeline integrity system that uses multi-sensors for monitoring and inspection of the pipeline. Although the focus is on the pipeline, ... -
Towards Sustainable Public Open Spaces for Promoting Human Comfort, Health and Well-Being: The Case of Oxygen Park in Doha, Qatar
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Public Open Spaces (POS) are an important and necessary component of the urban city design. Well-designed and well-functioning public open spaces provide a variety of social, economic, environmental, physical and ... -
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 ... -
Use of 3D Images to Evaluate Formation Damage Induced by Montmorillonite Fines in Porous Media Systems
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Formation damage costs oil and gas industry $140 billion/year in lost productivity, this is a key challenge to Qatar, the world's largest LNG exporter. During production from a well, multiphase flow foster drag forces to ... -
Utilizing Steel Slag in the Removal of Suspended Solids from Dewatered Construction Water
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Construction dewatering is an operation used to remove shallow groundwater that infiltrates construction sites. After recovering this water from the construction sites, the water is either discharged to the sea, injected ... -
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 ...
