Applicability of construction dewatering techniques for randomly-fractured rock
( ICE Publishing , 2024 , Article)Through analyzing a significant number of case histories, ranges of applications of dewatering techniques for randomly-fractured rock are proposed in terms of the rock mass permeability and the required drawdown. The ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Geosynthetic-reinforced soils above voids: Observation of soil and geosynthetic deformation mechanisms
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Understanding how a geosynthetic-reinforced soil deforms in response to the formation of an underlying void is crucial to provide appropriate designs of these systems. Centrifuge models employing a trapdoor to simulate the ... -
Water retention and characteristic curves representing tropical clay soils from Africa
( EDP Sciences , 2020 , Conference Paper)Soil water retention curves (SWRCs) form an essential component of frameworks coupling the hydromechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils. The curves describe how suction changes with variables such as degree of saturation, ... -
The engineering legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 TM: Stadium 974- Reuse as driving force for sustainable stadium design
( ICE Publishing , 2024 , Article)Stadium 974, located on the east shore of the Doha Bay in the municipality of Ras Abu Aboud, is the first fully demountable, transportable, and reusable stadium of its kind. Modular systems in construction have a long track ... -
The engineering legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM: Al Janoub Stadium
( ICE Publishing , 2024 , Article)Al Janoub was the first new-build stadium designed for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM. This paper describes the journey of the engineering design of the 40,000 seat stadium, from the concept and detailed design development ... -
The engineering legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM: Al Bayt Stadium
( ICE Publishing , 2024 , Article)In contemporary architecture, textile membranes offer a wide range of possible structural applications, especially for facades and roofs with large spans and where the reduction of self-weight plays an important role for ... -
The engineering legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM: Al Thumama Stadium
( ICE Publishing , 2024 , Article)The structures of the Al Thumama Stadium, built for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, can be categorised into four main building components. The permanent bowl structure with lower and middle tiers is mainly cast-in-place ... -
Development of a new excavation technique for centrifuge testing in sand
( CRC Press/Balkema , 2021 , Book chapter)Even though shaft excavation is a key part of tunnelling projects in large cities, many uncertainties about their actual performance still exist in practice and only very few case studies have been reported in the literature. ... -
Pile Integrity Assessment through a Staged Data Interpretation Framework
( CRC Press , 2023 , Book chapter)Given the inherent nature of how deep cast-in-situ concrete foundations (piles and diaphragm walls) are constructed, evaluating their integrity is difficult. Several well-established methods for testing integrity have been ... -
Preface to the current edition
( CRC Press/Balkema , 2021 , Other)Technical Committee 204: "Underground Construction in Soft Ground" of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) was first established as TC28 in 1989 to provide a forum for interchange ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
Go/no-go decision model for owners using exhaustive CHAID and QUEST decision tree algorithms
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Go/no-go execution decisions are one of the most important strategic decisions for owners during the early stages of construction projects. Restructuring the process of decision-making during these early stages may have ... -
A Comparative Study on the Efficiency of Reliability Methods for the Probabilistic Analysis of Local Scour at a Bridge Pier in Clay-Sand-Mixed Sediments
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2021 , Article)In this work, the performance of reliability methods for the probabilistic analysis of local scour at a bridge pier is investigated. The reliability of bridge pier scour is one of the important issues for the risk assessment ... -
Critical Assessment of Contract Administration Using Multidimensional Fuzzy Logic Approach
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2021 , Article)The success of a project depends on the importance of investigating the impact of contract administration implementation parameters such as response time, approval process, resolving issues, coordination, and documentation. ... -
Modeling of osmotically-driven membrane processes: An overview
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)In the modern era, mathematical modeling is a promising tool to evaluate the forward osmosis (FO) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) systems process feasibility and check the outcome of performance parameters on the overall ... -
Identifying the relationship between intention to use flat-rate public transport and trip frequency by a discrete-continuous model
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)Public transport fare is a central feature of transit operations and is a key indicator to reflect transport demand. Yet, relatively little is known about how fare influences on ridership dynamics, including for which types ...
