Effect of bond enhancement using carbon nanotubes on flexural behavior of RC beams strengthened with externally bonded CFRP sheets
(
Springer Nature
, 2022 , Article)
This paper studied the effect of incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) on strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The RC beams were prepared, strengthened in flexure ...
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 ...
Fully Softened and Residual Shear Strengths of Midra Shale
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a comparison of the fully softened shear strengths measured using
the triaxial and torsional ring shear devices for a shale that possesses noticeably high
plasticity and induration. The residual shear ...
Influence of Water Table Fluctuation on Natural Source Zone Depletion in Hydrocarbon Contaminated Subsurface Environments
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Most of the prediction theories regarding dissolution of organic contaminants in the
subsurface systems have been proposed based on the static water conditions and
the influence of water fluctuations on mass removal requires ...
Practical Implementation of Contract Administration Performance Model in Qatar Construction Projects
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Globally, the performance of Construction Contract Administration (CCA) is becoming of significant interest as the industry suffers from notable delays, cost overruns, and disputes as a consequence of poor contract ...
Evaluating the Operational Impact of Left-Turn Exclusive Number of Lanes: A Case Study from Qatar
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Left-turning movements can significantly reduce the overall capacity of signalized
intersections due to the queueing built up. Intersections with heavy left-turning volumes
tend to use multiple lanes to accommodate left-turn ...
Impact of Ionic Strength on Colloid Retention in a Porous Media: A Micromodel Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Release of deposited colloids in the soil porous media during two-phase flow poses
potential health hazard due to the facilitated transport of contaminants towards
groundwater reservoirs. Considerable uncertainties exist ...
Treatment of Wastewater Using Reverse Osmosis for Irrigation Purposes
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This work investigates the performance of reverse osmosis (RO) for the reclamation
of treated sewage effluent (TSE) to be used as irrigation water for food crops. The
feed water used in this study was a real sample of ...
Colloid retention and mobilization mechanisms under different physicochemical conditions in porous media: A micromodel study
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Clear understanding of pore-scale mechanisms that control transport and retention of colloids in porous media at different physicochemical conditions is critical to improve design and efficient cleanup methodologies of ...
