Three-Dimensional Evaluation of Sand Particle Fracture Using Discrete-Element Method and Synchrotron Microcomputed Tomography Images
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2020 , Article)
Recent research showed that fracture of sand particles plays a significant role in determining the plastic bulk volumetric changes of granular materials under different loading conditions. One of the major tools used to ...
Strengthening of reinforced concrete beams in shear using different steel reinforced grout techniques
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, steel reinforced grout (SRG) is proposed for shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams using the near-surface embedded (NSE) technique. It is believed based on several research contributions in ...
Integrating electrochemical and bioelectrochemical systems for energetically sustainable treatment of produced water
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Pollutants present in produced water (PW) are recalcitrant in nature and difficult to treat with simple processes. Energetically sustainable and novel approach was developed by integrating electrochemical cell (EC, Primary ...
3D measurements of hydrate surface area during hydrate dissociation in porous media using dynamic 3D imaging
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
A better understanding of the kinetics of hydrate dissociation is essential to reliably predict gas production potential from natural hydrate reservoirs. Most hydrate dissociation models assume hydrates to be a constant ...
Material performance and cost effectiveness of seawater-mixed rubberized concrete
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The combined use of seawater and recycled tire aggregate (RTA) in concrete is potentially a way forward towards sustainable construction. It can help control harvesting of natural aggregates, manage waste tires, mitigate ...
Sewage enhanced bioelectrochemical degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil environment through bioelectro-stimulation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
The impact of readily biodegradable substrates (sewage and acetate) in bioelectroremediation of hydrocarbons (PW) was evaluated in a bench-scale soil-based hybrid bioelectrochemical system. Addition of bioelectro-stimulants ...
New model for estimating geometric tortuosity of variably saturated porous media using 3D synchrotron microcomputed tomography imaging
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
Tortuosity has a significantimpact on flow and transport characteristics of porous media and plays a major role in many applications such as enhanced oil recovery, contaminant transport in aquifers, and fuel cells. Most ...
A study to investigate the energy recovery potential from different macromolecules of a low-lipid marine Tetraselmis sp. biomass through HTL process
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study investigated the hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of extracted major macromolecules from Tetraselmis sp. biomass. The carbohydrate fraction was first recovered from Tetraselmis biomass using pressurized heated ...
Pore-scale simulation of fine particles migration in porous media using coupled CFD-DEM
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Transport of fine particles in porous media has attracted a considerable interest over the past several decades given its importance to many industrial and natural processes. In order to control fine particles transport ...
Does Pedestrian Penalty Affect Pedestrian Behavior? A Case of State of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Crashes involving pedestrians are a major concern for authorities in many developed and developing countries. To refrain pedestrians from illegal or unsafe road behavior, authorities introduced three pedestrian penalties ...
