Galvanized Steel as a Sustainable Material-Technology and Failure Analysis
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)The building industry is responsible for 40% of global CO2 emissions and 36% of global energy consumption. Therefore, it is not surprising that the industry is motivated to embrace more environment-friendly procedures and ... -
Data Interpretation Framework for Pile Thermal Integrity Testing
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)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 ... -
Efficacy in developing a Sustainable, Resilient, and Interdependent Infrastructure System in the Gulf Region
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)The world is becoming increasingly interconnected, and the exchange of information, knowledge, and services assists in developing and managing many aspects of the built environment. Sustainable, resilient, and interdependent ... -
Self-compacting Backfills using Fly Ash and Dredged Marine Sediments for Public Work Applications
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Sediment accumulation at the bottom of ports disrupts maritime activities and disturbs the physicochemical balance of water bodies. In France, the maintenance of the 6500-kilometer long coastline would require the extraction ... -
Sustainability Driven Strategy for Achieving Sustainable Infrastructure: Musaimeer Pumping Station and Outfall Project
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)The increasing emphasis on global sustainability issues such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, and water scarcity has provided a strong mandate for the construction industry to incorporate sustainable ... -
Potential Implementation of Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) in Pavement Construction in the State of Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Warm-mix asphalt (WMA) technology has been used in many countries around the world, in lieu of Hot Mixed Asphalt (HMA), due to its ability to allow significant reduction in the temperatures at which asphalt mixes are ... -
Potential Utilization of Alternative Construction Materials in Qatar, in lieu of Conventional Washed Sand
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Natural sand that has been washed is an essential material used in infrastructure development and construction projects of all sizes. Due to the depletion of natural sand sources in Qatar, there has arisen a need to develop ... -
A Markovian-Genetic Algorithm Model for Predicting Pavement Deterioratio
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Pavement structures are constantly deteriorating due to many distresses, for instance cracks and rutting that are initiated and expanded. Deterioration models of pavement structures is an important component of pavement ... -
Experimental Validation of Repair Methods for Earthquake-Damaged Bridges Incorporating Pipe-Socket Precast Pier System
