A Review on the Performance of Bored Pile Foundations through Instrumented Pile Load Tests in Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)The level of infrastructure development Qatar has accomplished over the past 10 years has not been reached by any other country and this pace is expected to continue to achieve Qatar's 2030 Vision. High-rise buildings and ... -
A Side-by-Side Comparison of Shaft Excavation locally in Qatar
( 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 city's infrastructure, including its aging sewerage system and treatment facilities. The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) ... -
A Static and Free Vibration Analysis of Porous Functionally Graded Beams
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)In this work, the static and free vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) porous beams is investigated using a new higher-order shear deformation model (HSD). The porosity that develops naturally during the fabrication ... -
A Strategic Design Approach for Implementing Rainwater Management System Using an Integration of GIS and BIM Tool
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)An increase in urbanization and uncontrolled development has resulted in a water stress situation, which necessitates the exploration of alternate water sources. Rainwater has proven to be a prominent alternate water source ... -
ABAQUS Modelling and Experimental Tests Comparison for Certain Classes of Composite Isolated Joints
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Depending on the type of configuration and connector arrangement, beam-to-column end-plate joints can be rigid, semi-rigid, or pinned. Fully restrained joints are required for rigid frames in which it is anticipated that ... -
Adapting Smart Street Strategy for Post-Covid Built Environment
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)The street networks occupy 25% of land use and are the veins of cities. By 2050, more than two-thirds of the world’s population will live in urban areas. The urban street infrastructures and systems are expected to serve ... -
Adsorption of Congo Red Dye Using Activated Carbon-Fe3O4 Composite
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Activated Carbon-Fe3O4 composites were synthesized using co-precipitation method and used in batch experiments to adsorb Congo red dyes. The effect of adsorbent dosage, temperature and initial dye concentration was ... -
