Effect Of Field Environmental Exposure Conditions On The Properties Of Hardened Concrete
( Qatar University , 1993 , Article)The effects of harsh field environmental exposure conditions on compressive, tensile and flexural strengths and durability aspects of concrete such as chloride penetration, sulphate attack and carbonation were investigated ... -
Amorphous Phase Properties Of Oriented Polyethylene Solids
( Qatar University , 1993 , Article)Solid-state deformation of polyethylene results in a preferential orientation of both crystalline and amorphous regions. Usually, one major problem in the prediction of the mechanical and thermal expansion properties of ... -
Effect Of Aspect Ratio On Torsional Capacity Of High-Strength Plain Concrete Deep Beams
( Qatar University , 1993 , Article)Twenty high-strength plain concrete deep beams were tested under torsion. The variables were concrete strength and depth/width (aspect) ratio. Concrete strengths of 51.01, 58.53, 76.60 and 83.66 MPa and depth/width (aspect) ... -
The Onset Of Resonance In Two-Immiscible Fluids Inside A Spinning And Coning Cylinder
( Qatar University , 1993 , Article)Resonance of the motion of two fluids inside a cylinder that spins about its axis and rotates (cones) about an axis that passes through its center of mass is known to occur for low-viscosity fluids (high Reynolds number ... -
Cone Penetration Testing For Field Density Prediction
( Qatar University , 1993 , Article)This paper summarizes an experimental program for developing a pilot procedure to check and predict field densities of compacted soils using static cone penetration tests. Three sandy soils were tested. The testing program ... -
A Case Study Of Traffic Characteristics And Proposed Improvement Schemes For An Arterial Road
