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 ...
Enhancement of Naphthalene Degradation by a Sequential Sulfate Injection Scenario in a (Semi)-Arid Coastal Soil: a Flow-Through Reactor Experiment
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Engineered sulfate injection has been introduced as an effective technology to enhance the remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons. While some studies indicate that sulfate injection is ...
Parametric Optimization of RC Beams Strengthened with FRCM Using FE Modelling and Response Surface Methodology
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
This study focuses on the numerical and statistical analyses to predict the mid-span moment capacity of RC beams strengthened with fabric reinforcement cementitious mortar (FRCM) laminate. A finite element model (FEM) has ...
Energy harvesting from railway vibrations - A numerical study based on beam-on-elastic-foundation under quasi-static loading
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
The objective of this paper is to investigate energy harvesting of train-induced rail
vibrations and to provide a comparison between various feasible harvesting locations based on
the expected electrical power output. ...
Retention of Hydrophobic Colloids in Unsaturated Porous Media using Microfluidics
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Water recharge wells can provide a solution for 3.5 billion people, living in regions suffering from water scarcity. Due to fines migration, freshwater wells that are used to recharge aquifers, often experience expedited ...
3D simulation models for developing digital twins of heritage structures: Challenges and strategies
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Structural vulnerability assessment of heritage structures is a pivotal part of a risk mitigation strategy for preserving these valuable assets for the nations. For this purpose, developing digital twins has gained much ...
Structural analysis and design of irregular shaped footings subjected to eccentric loading
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
This article presents a simplified analytical model for designing irregular shaped reinforced concrete (RC) footings supporting square column and subjected to eccentric loading, that is, axial load P and biaxial moments, ...
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, ...
A systematic review of machine learning classification methodologies for modelling passenger mode choice
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article Review)
Machine Learning (ML) approaches are increasingly being investigated as an alternative to Random Utility Models (RUMs) for modelling passenger mode choice. These approaches have the potential to provide valuable insights ...
Evaluating prestress losses in a prestressed concrete girder railway bridge using distributed and discrete fibre optic sensors
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
This paper evaluates the data collected during a comprehensive monitoring campaign aimed at capturing the prestress loss behaviour of four 11.9 m prestressed concrete beams. These beams formed part of the superstructure ...
