Measuring construction materials price fluctuation risk
(
Canadian Society for Civil Engineering
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Construction projects costs are believed to be highly susceptible to a combination of internal and external factors. One of these factors is the prices of construction materials and the risk of their fluctuation. This paper ...
A cost-aware model for risk mitigation in Cloud computing systems
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Security is an important element in Cloud computing. Intruders may exploit clouds for their advantage. This paper presents a cost-aware model for risk mitigation in cloud computing systems. The proposed model is integrated ...
Robust Geotechnical Hazard Identification and Assessment for Major Underground Projects in Qatar. Case Study: South of Wakrah Pumping Station and Outfall (SWPSO) Project
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
The recent global development in geotechnical and geophysical investigation methodologies has continued to improve the possibility of early identification of critical geohazards and mitigation of risks associated with ...
Environmental impact of fuel spills on land
(2006 , Conference Paper)
This study considers the toxicity and flammability of emitted fuel vapor from un-ignited pools of spilled chemicals on land. It also estimates the thermal radiation levels emitted from such pools in case they catch fire. ...
Application of a property-based inherently safety quantification framework for integrating risk assessment into process safety life cycle
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Process plant involves different types of risks which need to be managed appropriately to avoid dangerous incidents. Some risks are associated with design decisions such as choice of unit, chemicals or design layout etc. ...
