Energy harvesting from railway slab-tracks with continuous slabs
(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2023 , Article)
This paper contributes to the literature and development of knowledge in the topic of energy harvesting by presenting the modelling and calculations of energy from vibration of railway tracks due to moving trains on ...
Mitigation of railway-induced vibration by using subgrade stiffening
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Railway-induced ground vibration is often associated with sites with soft ground. Stiffening of the subgrade beneath the railway track is one particular measure that has potential to reduce the vibration level at such ...
Reducing railway-induced ground-borne vibration by using open trenches and soft-filled barriers
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
A trench can act as a barrier to ground vibration and is a potential mitigation measure for low frequency vibration induced by surface railways. However, to be effective at very low frequencies the depth required becomes ...

We explore the role of statistics for Big Data analysis arising from the emerging field of Data-Centric Engineering. Using examples related to sensor-instrumented bridges, we highlight a number of issues and challenges. ...
Biolubricant Synthesis by Additization and Chemical Modification from Lipid-Rich Brackish Coelastrella sp. Using a Biorefinery Approach
(
American Chemical Society
, 2023 , Article)
With a sizable market share and widespread use in automotive and industrial applications, biolubricants are produced from the oils of terrestrial plants that have undergone chemical modification or additive addition. ...
Aging evaluation of asphalt samples with Low Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, a recently developed methodology to assess aging of pavements by using Low Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (LF-NMR) was applied to asphalt mix samples at different aging states. The ultimate objective of ...
Characteristics and mitigation strategies for cell phone use while driving among young drivers in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
There is no doubt that cell phone use while driving can lead to a higher probability of driver error, which increases the likelihood of more crashes. In Qatar, the high rate of cell phone use while driving among young ...
