Eco-friendly Concrete Using Waste Plastic Bottles as Aggregate: A Case Study from Oman
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)Waste plastic bottles (WPB) (polyethylene terephthalate (PET)) type are used widely for water storage and eventually become environmental burden. This study investigated an innovative application of the WPB to partially ... -
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)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 ... -
Physico-mechanical Properties of Sustainable Building Material Based Gypsum and Recycled Polyethylene Waste
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)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 ... -
Impact of Pore Morphology on Colloid Migration at Variable Saturation Levels of Natural Porous Media
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)The migration of colloids within porous media has a critical impact on many important industrial processes such as oil production and groundwater recharge. Colloids can clog the pore space and hence impair the permeability ... -
Development of Climate Data Inputs Towards the Implementation of Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design in the UAE
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)The current state of practice in the UAE is to use AASHTO 1993 for pavement designs, yet this method is empirical and has several limitations. The local traffic characteristics, climate conditions, and materials properties ... -
