Impact of Draw Solution Concentration on Forward Osmosis Process: A Simulation Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
In this study, a simulation model was used to evaluate the performance of forward
osmosis process. A solution of low salinity was used as the feed solution in forward
osmosis to dilute saline solution (i.e. draw solution) ...
Predicted and Back-calculated Coefficients of Permeability of Randomly Fractured Rock Mass: A Case Study
(
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 ...
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 ...
Effect of Alkaline Activators on the Mechanical Properties of Geopolymer Mortar
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
"Geopolymerization is a process where silica and alumina rich source materials turn
into excellent binding materials by the aid of alkali solutions. Materials such as fly ash
are by-products in energy power plants. Fly ...
Comparison of the Mechanical Behavior of Railroad Ballast in a Box Test under Sinusoidal and Realistic Train Loadings Using Discrete Element Method
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
A ballasted track is a popular type of railway track and its use is increasing all over the
world. A ballasted track consists of different structural elements like rails, fasteners,
sleepers, ballast layer, sub-ballast ...
Dynamic 3D imaging of gas hydrate kinetics using synchrotron computed tomography
(
EDP Sciences
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
The availability of natural gas hydrates and the continuing increase in energy demand, motivated researchers to consider gas hydrates as a future source of energy. Fundamental understanding of hydrate dissociation kinetics ...
A novel electrocoagulation electrode configuration for the removal of total organic carbon from primary treated municipal wastewater
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
In this paper, the removal of total organic carbon (TOC) from a primary treated municipal wastewater using a new electrode configuration in electrocoagulation was evaluated. The used electrode configuration induces a ...
Effects of dissolved organic phase composition and salinity on the engineered sulfate application in a flow-through system
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Engineered sulfate application has been proposed as an effective remedy to enhance the rate-limited biodegradation of petroleum-hydrocarbon-contaminated subsurface environments, but the effects of dissolved organic phase ...
Shear capacity of reinforced concrete deep beams using genetic algorithm
(
IOP Publishing Ltd
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
It is vital to understand the shear behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) beams in order to avoid a catastrophic shear failure and design for ductile failure. However, due to the complexity in the shear failure mechanism ...
A framework for the analysis of damage and recovery characteristics of asphalt mixtures
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2020 , Article)
This study presents two approaches for evaluating damage and recovery characteristics of asphalt mixtures. The first approach focuses on determining damage by extracting recoverable viscoelastic strain that has no damage ...
