Modelling the Severity of Plastic Shrinkage in Cementitious Materials
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)"Plastic shrinkage cracking in cement-based materials occurs between the mixing and the final setting of the mixture, where rapid evaporation of the mixed water is the main cause behind the phenomenon. The induced cracks ... -
Near Surface Embedded Application for FRCM Strengthening of RC Beams in Flexure
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)In this paper, the efficacy of a recent strengthening technique, referred to as Near Surface Embedded (NSE), has been investigated for flexural strengthening of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams using Fabric Reinforced ... -
Novel Method for Assessing Moisture Damage in Asphalt Mixtures
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Moisture damage is a major cause of early pavement deterioration and often accelerates other distresses such as rutting, fatigue cracking, and raveling. Water infiltrates into the pavement structure through the cracks and ... -
Numerical Study of Four Bolts End-Plate Joint Behaviour for Robustness Assessment
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)The paper presents new studies on numerical modeling (FEM) for beam-to-column behavior under sagging and hogging bending moment when the framework is exposed to service and unexpected loads that may cause a column loss ... -
Optimizing the Thermal Resistance of Concrete Using The Palm Tree Fronds Fibers
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)In the past few years, the issue of global warming has become increasingly visible. Record high as well as record low temperatures are being broken worldwide. Snow is melting in the poles and less sunrays are being reflected ... -
Optimum Dispersion Parameters of Carbon Nanotubes: Concrete Strength by Response Surface Methodologies
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)"This paper implements Response Surface Methodologies (RSM) techniques to illustrate the maximum carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-concrete mechanical properties responses to the length, weight fraction and treatment variables. ... -
Performance of University-Construction Industry Collaboration: A Systematic Literature Review and Research Agenda
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)University-construction industry collaboration (UIC) has become an essential part of driving innovation and fostering construction industry growth. Measuring performance of such collaboration is an emergent field of study. ... -
Positively Shifting the Mindset in Construction Using Non-Biodegradable Materials for Sustainable Construction: An Experimental Study
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Disposing of the non-biodegradable material, scrap Tire rubber specifically, has always been a bone of contention for the municipalities around the world. Not only the land that it covers is the major issue, but also the ... -
Practical Implementation of Contract Administration Performance Model in Qatar Construction Projects
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Globally, the performance of Construction Contract Administration (CCA) is becoming of significant interest as the industry suffers from notable delays, cost overruns, and disputes as a consequence of poor contract ... -
Predicted and Back-calculated Coefficients of Permeability of Randomly Fractured Rock Mass: A Case Study
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)This paper presents the discrepancy between the coefficients of permeability measured for randomly fractured limestone using field falling-head tests and that back-calculated for the same rock mass based on the actual ... -
Preventive Approach to Unsubstantiated Claims and Disputes in the UK Construction Industry
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Globally, claims and disputes are an unfortunate reality in construction projects. Recent statistics reveal that construction claims in the UK increased by 21% in 2018 compared to other countries such as India (8%), Mexico ... -
Producing High Quality Recycled Hot Asphalt with Increased Reclaimed Asphalt Content – Qatar Experience
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Under the Public Works Authority (PWA) maintenance framework contract in the State of Qatar, road rehabilitation and maintenance generate considerable amounts of Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) than can be used in recycled Hot ... -
Project Management: Key Initiatives Case Study
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Every project faces risk of delays and disruptions, especially the mega/complex projects of today, which have, amongst others, many interfacing parties engaged. Local roads and drainage projects in general, including DN016, ... -
Project Risk Based Evaluation for Infrastructure Works in Qatar: Highway Projects
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)The implementation of a project for infrastructure works such as highways, bridges, flyovers, underpasses, tunnels, etc. can be complexed and unique. This has always required a proper project management system that ... -
Recycled Concrete Used in Subbase in Potential Use for Road Base and Cement Bounded Material (CBM)
