(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the discrepancy between the coefficients of permeability measured
for randomly fractured limestone using field falling-head tests and that back-calculated
for the same rock mass based on the actual ...
Positively Shifting the Mindset in Construction Using Non-Biodegradable Materials for Sustainable Construction: An Experimental Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Disposing of the non-biodegradable material, scrap Tire rubber specifically, has always
been a bone of contention for the municipalities around the world. Not only the land that
it covers is the major issue, but also the ...
Long-Term Cost Performance of Corrosion-Resistant Reinforcements in Structural Concrete
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Corrosion, which leads to the premature deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC)
structures, is increasingly an issue of global concern. Accordingly, corrosion-resistant
materials have emerged as alternative reinforcement ...
