A Comparison between Natural Pozzolana and Fly Ash Replacements on the Mechanical Properties of Concrete
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)This study investigates the effect of Natural Pozzolana (NP) and Fly Ash (FA) substitutes on concrete's mechanical and microstructural properties. Mixes containing 10 - 50 % cement substitute ratios were prepared and tested ... -
Bond Performance of Near-Surface Mounted BFRP Bars to Concrete
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)This paper presents the test results of a study on the bond performance of near-surface mounted (NSM) basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars to concrete. Twelve C-shape concrete specimens were tested under direct ... -
Parametric Optimization of RC Beams Strengthened with FRCM Using FE Modelling and Response Surface Methodology
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)This study focuses on the numerical and statistical analyses to predict the mid-span moment capacity of RC beams strengthened with fabric reinforcement cementitious mortar (FRCM) laminate. A finite element model (FEM) has ... -
Significance of GOs, GNPs and CNTs' Nanomaterials on the Mechanical Properties of Cement
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)This study reports the statistical significance of using Graphene Oxides (GOs), Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) and Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) on the mechanical properties of cement paste. Samples containing several nanoparticles' ... -
Performance of Mild Steel and Corrosion-Resistant Steel Rebars in Chloride-Contaminated Concrete
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure in Arabian Peninsula is subjected to harsh climatic conditions of high temperatures, humidity, and airborne chlorides and there is a high concentration of salts in seawater and soils. ... -
RSM Analysis for Optimum Content of Graphene Nanoplatelets for 3D-Printed Clay Strength
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)This study applies Response Surface Methodologies (RSM) methods to maximize 3D-Printed clay mechanical properties. Mixes containing different Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) contents were printed and tested in compression ... -
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 ... -
Potential Implementation of Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) in Pavement Construction in the State of Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Warm-mix asphalt (WMA) technology has been used in many countries around the world, in lieu of Hot Mixed Asphalt (HMA), due to its ability to allow significant reduction in the temperatures at which asphalt mixes are ...
