Development of Climate Data Inputs Towards the Implementation of Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design in the UAE
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)The current state of practice in the UAE is to use AASHTO 1993 for pavement designs, yet this method is empirical and has several limitations. The local traffic characteristics, climate conditions, and materials properties ... -
Study of Turbulence in Open Channels Using Two-Equation Models
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)Prediction of the sediment transport in streams requires an accurate estimation of bed shear stress (for bed load) and eddy viscosity (for suspended load). In general, shallow water models employ empirical relationships ... -
Improvement in Environmental Management Performance in Ashghal Projects
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) of Qatar is responsible for countrywide infrastructure and public building projects starting from their planning stages and through design, procurement, construction, operation, and ... -
Adsorption of Congo Red Dye Using Activated Carbon-Fe3O4 Composite
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)Activated Carbon-Fe3O4 composites were synthesized using co-precipitation method and used in batch experiments to adsorb Congo red dyes. The effect of adsorbent dosage, temperature and initial dye concentration was ... -
Implementation of Odour Control Systems for Nuisance-free and Public Friendly Environment in Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) is contributing to the development of Qatar with the construction of first class, sustainable infrastructure with a high degree of public acceptance by utilizing best international ... -
Enhancement of Polysulfone Ultrafiltration Membrane Performance for Produced Water Treatment by Incorporation of Graphene oxide/Chitosan/Silicon dioxide Nanocomposite
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)Oil and gas production is accompanied by generation of large amounts of produced water as usually three barrels of produced water is generated for each barrel of oil. Membrane-based water reclamation technologies have been ... -
Impact of Pore Morphology on Colloid Migration at Variable Saturation Levels of Natural Porous Media
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)The migration of colloids within porous media has a critical impact on many important industrial processes such as oil production and groundwater recharge. Colloids can clog the pore space and hence impair the permeability ... -
Efficient Turbidity Removal Using a New Gel Filtration Process
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)The removal of turbidity is a prime objective in the treatment of seawater, especially in the production of potable water. The water turbidity exists because of the colloidal particles or large-weight molecules that remain ... -
Estimation of Blue and Green Water Potentials of Türkiye under Global Climate Change Effects
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)This study analyzed the impact of global climate change scenarios on the water resources of Turkiye by means of various climate and hydrological simulations projected for this century. An integrated approach was used by ... -
Emerging Brine Management Approaches for Sustainable Desalination in the GCC Countries
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)The major technologies employed in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) based commercial desalination facilities are classified into two categories: the membrane-based (mostly reverse osmosis (RO)) and thermal-based (primarily ... -
How Efficient Would Demand-Based Water Strategies Be for Qatar?
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)Qatar is a water scarce country that heavily relies on seawater desalination. Multiple studies have concluded the need for a more resilient water planning through efficient "demand control" strategies. This study is among ... -
Numerical Simulation of Climate Change Impacts on the Coast of Oman
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)It is well known that there is an apparent increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, such as tropical cyclones (IPCC, 2023). This will lead to a significant effect not just on the infrastructure ... -
Efficient Reservoir Operation in an Arid Region with Extreme Hydrologic Flows: A Case Study, Oman's Largest Dam
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)Wadi Dayqah dam (WDD) is still not operating, and its operation targets are not yet fixed. Arid hydrology and the presence of new users require a new look at this dam's operation plan. The updated and optimal operation ... -
The Dependent Clogging Dynamics and Its Impact on Porous Media Permeability Reduction
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference)The dynamics of fine particle entrapment, transport, and deposition within pore systems, particularly the ability of mobile fines to impair permeability within porous media, are critical to a variety of natural and manmade ... -
