Can automated driving prevent crashes with distracted Pedestrians? An exploration of motion planning at unsignalized Mid-block crosswalks
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Pedestrian distraction may provoke severe difficulties in automated vehicle (AV) control, which may significantly affect the safety performance of AVs, especially at unsignalized mid-block crosswalks (UMCs). However, there ...
Evaluation and calibration of dynamic modulus prediction models of asphalt mixtures for hot climates: Qatar as a case study
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The dynamic modulus (|E*|) of asphalt mixtures is one of the most important inputs in Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) pavement analysis and design. Several models have been developed to predict the dynamic modulus based on ...
Robust and General Model to Forecast the Heat Transfer Coefficient for Flow Condensation in Multi Port Mini/Micro‐Channels
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2022 , Article)
A general correlation for predicting the two‐phase heat transfer coefficient (HTC) during condensation inside multi‐port mini/micro‐channels was presented. The model was obtained by correlating the two‐phase multiplier, ...
Development of Digitalization Road Map for Healthcare Facility Management
(
IEEE
, 2022 , Article)
Effective Healthcare Facility Management (HFM) remain a crucial concern for high quality built healthcare sectors, both in the public and private areas. The anticipated resource efficiencies, complex systems, and maintenance ...
Fines effect on gas flow in sandy sediments using μCT and pore networks
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Gas production from hydrate-bearing sediments requires methane dissociation, which induces two-phase gas flow, mobilizing fine clay particles from within saturated pores. Fines migration within sandy sediments results in ...
Estimating the Relative Crystallinity of Biodegradable Polylactic Acid and Polyglycolide Polymer Composites by Machine Learning Methodologies
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Biodegradable polymers have recently found significant applications in pharmaceutics processing and drug release/delivery. Composites based on poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) have been suggested to enhance the crystallization ...
Short-term and long-term behavior of RC beams strengthened by galvanized steel mesh laminate
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Steel reinforced polymers (SRP) are useful in a wide range of applications, including strengthening of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures, due to their numerous advantages like high strength, low maintenance, ...
Integrity monitoring of cast in-situ piles using thermal approach: A field case study
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
A review of the literature shows that pile integrity is a significant concern in pile construction; in particular, determining the location and nature of anomalies along the depth of the piles using thermal integrity testing ...
Measurement of pile uplift forces due to soil heave in expansive clays
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2022 , Article)
Piled foundations are widely used to limit the movement of foundations in expansive clays. These piles are subjected to large uplift forces as the clay swells (and downdrag forces when it shrinks). The appropriate method ...
Characteristics of Concrete Made with Treated Domestic Wastewater
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
The dramatic increase in the worldwide production of concrete and its consequences in depleting freshwater resources has become an urgent challenge among researchers. Many countries use the desalination treatment method ...
