Resource Recovery from Waste, Water and Wastewaters with Membrane Technologies
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
In this study, critical elements (Boron (B) and Rare Earth Elements (REE)) recovery is
studied with membrane technologies. Concentrated boron can be recovered by using
different technologies. Membrane technologies such as ...
Effective Project Control within the Context of Lean Construction
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Two of the “Lean Thinking” principles relate to managing a project through relationships,
shared knowledge and common goals and to removing waste where possible. Success of a
project is only possible with the collaboration ...
Using Reclaimed Asphalt and Polymer Modified Asphalt (PMA) to Maximize Cost Saving over the Pavement Life-Cycle in Qatar
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Low performing asphalt mixes along with poor construction practices reduce the
pavement serviceability and lead to early failure under repetitive traffic. Government
agencies are sometimes urged to implement maintenance ...
The Investigation of an Efficient and Effective Proactive Pipeline Integrity System
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose the investigation of an efficient and effective proactive pipeline
integrity system that uses multi-sensors for monitoring and inspection of the pipeline.
Although the focus is on the pipeline, ...
Modeling Airport Ground Access Mode Choice by Trip Purpose: Business vs. Personal Trips
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Air transportation traffic is increasing, and this results in newer and larger airport
investments in outskirts of the cities. Thus, airport ground access is becoming an important
topic to focus on. Indeed, there are many ...
Geotechnical Aspects of Sub-Sea Tunnelling on the Musaimeer Pumping Station and Outfall Tunnel Project
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Musaimeer outfall tunnel is one of the longest storm water tunnels in the world with
a total length of 10.2 km. The tunnel is connected via a drop shaft to the main pump
station. This system will accommodate surface and ...
Robotic Fabrication as Catalysts for Emergent Topologies and Traditions: Nomadic Small Pavilions and Permanent Mega Structures in Kuwait
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
This paper reviews tendencies and drives for future parametric computational design and robotic fabrication/construction automation. It sheds light on the local current impact of the computational paradigm and mass-customized ...
Optimizing the Thermal Resistance of Concrete Using The Palm Tree Fronds Fibers
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
In the past few years, the issue of global warming has become increasingly visible.
Record high as well as record low temperatures are being broken worldwide. Snow
is melting in the poles and less sunrays are being reflected ...
Enhancement of Naphthalene Biodegradation by Sulfate Application in Brackish Subsurface Systems
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Anaerobic biodegradation is the most dominant mechanism in the petroleum hydrocarbon
contaminated subsurface systems. Due to depletion of terminal electron acceptors such
as sulfate, anaerobic degradation of organic ...
Technologies Serving Concrete for Economy, Durability and Sustainability
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Concrete comes as the second most used material after water in the world, but it is the
first used construction material especially in Middle East. World population is increasing
while resources are decreasing. Therefore, ...
