New Technique for Flood Risk Assessment of Sub-Networks in Large Networks Using InfoWorks ICM: A Case Study of Qatar's Full Storm Water Network
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)The elements of the storm water network are made to safely drain most water during a heavy rainstorm. Flood risk modelling (mathematical modelling) with hydraulic software is a good way to check the network's level of ... -
Numerical Simulation of Climate Change Impacts on the Coast of Oman
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)It is well known that there is an apparent increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, such as tropical cyclones (IPCC, 2023). This will lead to a significant effect not just on the infrastructure ... -
Performance Criteria Priorities in Green Buildings: A Proof-of-Concept Study
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Green Buildings (GBs) are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to resource-intensive traditional buildings. Like any other construction project, GB projects are subject to project management-related criteria, ... -
Physico-mechanical Properties of Sustainable Building Material Based Gypsum and Recycled Polyethylene Waste
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)The economic focus in the building sector is on lightweight materials. Recycled polyethylene particles coming from plastic botteles waste can ensure this lightness and can solve not only technical problems, but also produce ... -
Potential Application of Porous Membrane from Blends of Homopolymer for Industrial Water Treatment
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)The self-organization of matter has been extensively explored in recent years, and significant advancements have been made in the field of porous ordered films produced by the auto-assembly of different polymer materials, ... -
Rainfall Change Projections under Different Climate Change Scenarios in UAE
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)The increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to human activities is predicted to have significant and lasting effects on the global climate throughout the 21st century. The resulting warming over the past decades ... -
Recycling of Tetra Pak for Space and Water Heating by Blending with Phase Change Materials
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)A rapid rise in demands for thermal comfort in the building sector necessitates higher energy consumption for air conditioning, ventilation, space, and water heating systems. Recently, phase change materials (PCMs) have ... -
Retention of Hydrophobic Colloids in Unsaturated Porous Media using Microfluidics
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Water recharge wells can provide a solution for 3.5 billion people, living in regions suffering from water scarcity. Due to fines migration, freshwater wells that are used to recharge aquifers, often experience expedited ... -
Review on Decarbonizing the Building Sector in Oil and Gas Countries: The Case of Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Climate change is a serious international issue, and nations must move to carbon reduction to mitigate this problem. Therefore, Qatar is building strategies, towards energy transitions and decarbonization. Whereas, energy ... -
Statistical Analysis of the Effect of Water Table Fluctuation and Soil Layering on the Distribution of BTEX on Soil and Groundwater Under Anaerobic Condition
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel spills pollute groundwater in many coastal areas. BTEX is a hydrocarbon of concern due to its high-water solubility, which allows it to spread widely in the subsurface environment. The ... -
Study of Turbulence in Open Channels Using Two-Equation Models
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Prediction of the sediment transport in streams requires an accurate estimation of bed shear stress (for bed load) and eddy viscosity (for suspended load). In general, shallow water models employ empirical relationships ... -
Sustainable Urban Drainage Master Plan for Al Khor Municipality
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)It is of upmost importance that the type of hydrological basin of the region should be established before developing its drainage strategy. Unlike exhoric basin which is characterised by well-defined pattern of streams and ... -
The Dependent Clogging Dynamics and Its Impact on Porous Media Permeability Reduction
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)The dynamics of fine particle entrapment, transport, and deposition within pore systems, particularly the ability of mobile fines to impair permeability within porous media, are critical to a variety of natural and manmade ... -
