Application of Green Polymeric Nanocomposites for Enhanced Oil Recovery by Spontaneous Imbibition from Carbonate Reservoirs
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2023 , Article)
This study experimentally investigates the effect of green polymeric nanoparticles on the interfacial tension (IFT) and wettability of carbonate reservoirs to effectively change the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) parameters. ...
Thermal integrity testing of cast in situ piles: An alternative interpretation approach
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Integrity testing of deep cast in situ concrete foundations is challenging due to the intrinsic nature of how these foundations are formed. Several integrity test methods have been developed and are well established, but ...
BIM-based facility management models for existing buildings
(
Kuwait University
, 2021 , Article)
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is mainly used for the design and construction of new buildings. However, one of the main challenges facing BIM adoption for existing or old buildings constructed without consideration ...
Evaluation of the critical success factors (CSFs) in selecting building contractors using pareto analysis and the analytical hierarchy process
(
Kuwait University
, 2020 , Article)
The purpose of this paper is to obtain a set of critical success factors (CSFs) for selecting building contractors in Qatar to help investors effectively and efficiently build their houses. First, a systematic review of ...
AI and IoT-based concrete column base cover localization and degradation detection algorithm using deep learning techniques
(
Ain Shams University
, 2023 , Article)
Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are currently replacing the traditional methods of handling buildings, infrastructure, and facilities design, control, and maintenance due to their ...
Combined effects of treated domestic wastewater, fly ash, and calcium nitrite toward concrete sustainability
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The drastic increase in freshwater and ordinary Portland cement (OPC) consumption poses severe environmental and economic challenges worldwide. This study; therefore, explores the mechanical and durability properties of ...
An Approach for Adjusting the Laboratory-Determined Dynamic Modulus Master Curve of Asphalt Layers Based on Falling Weight Deflectometer Measurements
(
Hindawi
, 2023 , Article)
Structural assessment is critical for designing asphalt pavement overlays, estimating the remaining life of pavements, and selecting an appropriate rehabilitation strategy for existing pavements. The falling weight ...
Signer-Independent Arabic Sign Language Recognition System Using Deep Learning Model
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2023 , Article)
Every one of us has a unique manner of communicating to explore the world, and such communication helps to interpret life. Sign language is the popular language of communication for hearing and speech-disabled people. When ...
Investigating the characteristics of a magnetorheological fluid damper through CFD modeling
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2021 , Article)
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is conducted on mono-tube vehicle MRF damper investigated experimentally in a previous study. In this study, the fluid of the type MRF-132DG was inserted inside a damper of a car ...
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 ...
