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 psychological ...
Impact of Ionic Strength on Colloid Retention in a Porous Media: A Micromodel Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Release of deposited colloids in the soil porous media during two-phase flow poses
potential health hazard due to the facilitated transport of contaminants towards
groundwater reservoirs. Considerable uncertainties exist ...
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 ...
High and Ultra-high Performance Concretes: A Solution to Reinforced Concrete Durability under Harsh Climate of Arabian Gulf
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure in the Arabian Gulf region deteriorates under
severe environmental conditions after only short service life. To overcome this problem,
it is imperative to employ high-quality concretes ...
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 ...
Investigation of the Effect of the Force-Frequency on the Behaviour of a New Viscous Damper for Railway Applications
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
The primary purpose of this work is to experimentally investigate the damping
coefficient of a viscous damper, intended to be used in railway applications to reduce
noise emission. The viscous shock absorber used in this ...
Impact of Draw Solution Concentration on Forward Osmosis Process: A Simulation Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
In this study, a simulation model was used to evaluate the performance of forward
osmosis process. A solution of low salinity was used as the feed solution in forward
osmosis to dilute saline solution (i.e. draw solution) ...
Concrete Hydration Model Characterization Using Evolutionary Optimization
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Pile thermal integrity assessment by means of temperature measurement has received
increasing attention in recent years. The thermal integrity testing method measures
temperature changes during the concrete curing process; ...
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, ...
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 ...
