A Markovian-Genetic Algorithm Model for Predicting Pavement Deterioratio
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)Pavement structures are constantly deteriorating due to many distresses, for instance cracks and rutting that are initiated and expanded. Deterioration models of pavement structures is an important component of pavement ... -
A Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach for Selection of Wave Energy Converter Optimal Site
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)Ocean wave energy is an essential source of renewable power for coastal communities. Choosing the optimal site for the wave energy converter (WEC) deployment depends on a number of criteria. The characteristics of the WEC ... -
A Quantitative Evaluation of Urban Green Spaces in Rajshahi, Bangladesh
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)Being a developing country, Bangladesh has faced rapid growth in urbanization in the past few decades. This results in decreasing parks and other green spaces in urban areas. Rajshahi is one of the divisional districts in ... -
A Review on the Performance of Bored Pile Foundations through Instrumented Pile Load Tests in Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)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)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)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)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 ... -
A Study on the Default Supplemental Adjustment Factors of Progression Adjustment Factor Formula under Non-Lane Based Traffic Condition
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference)A mathematical expression of supplemental adjustment factor (fPA) has provided a way to estimate Progression Adjustment Factor (P.F.) more accurately as the P.F. relies on the fPA value. The mathematical formula of fPA ... -
A Study on Using Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in the Construction of New Roads in the State of Qatar
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference)In the State of Qatar, road engineers started using RAP in the base course of asphalt pavement from past few years. The use of RAP not only replaces the quantity of virgin aggregate and binder, it also improves the overall ... -
ABAQUS Modelling and Experimental Tests Comparison for Certain Classes of Composite Isolated Joints
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)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 ... -
Accelerated Corrosion Tests on Lapped Spliced Joints in Concrete
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference)This paper presents a new test setup of experiments to investigate corrosion at lapped spliced joints using accelerated corrosion test. The experiments were carried out on two set of samples: cylinders and beam blocks. ... -
Adapting Smart Street Strategy for Post-Covid Built Environment
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)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 ... -
Adaptive architecture, an implementation with game theory. Emotional input and pneumatically driven actuator
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference)In the active context of adaptive architecture, this proposal tackles the field of Human Building Interaction. Indeed, material would no longer be inert but activated by the users, programmable and equipped with memory. ... -
Adsorption of Congo Red Dye Using Activated Carbon-Fe3O4 Composite
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)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 ... -
Advanced Block Copolymer Membranes for Oily Industrial Wastewater Treatment
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)Tremendous amounts of oily wastewater are produced daily from industrial processes, including petrochemical, textile, leather, and steel processing. This wastewater is a huge challenge to the environment and industry uses ... -
