Axial pull-out response of a small-scale concrete pile subjected to cyclic thermal loading in sand
Elzeiny R.; Suleiman M.T.; Qamar M.A.; Xiao S.; Al-Khawaja M. ( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2018 , Conference Paper)Energy piles support structural loads and exchange heat with surrounding soils using closed-loop ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems. A GSHP connected to an energy pile operates in cycles where it functions for a period ... -
Cyclic loading effects on soil-energy pile interaction
Xiao, S.; Suleiman, M. T.; Elzeiny, R.; Al-Khawaja, M. J. ( CRC Press/Balkema , 2016 , Conference Paper)To reduce greenhouse gas emission from space heating and cooling, energy piles have been used in buildings as an alternative renewable energy source for approximate by two decades. However, the effects of cyclic thermal ... -
Effect of temperature and radial displacement cycles on soil?concrete interface properties using modified thermal borehole shear test
Xiao S.; Suleiman M.T.; Elzeiny R.; Naito C.; Neti S.; Al-Khawaja M.... more authors ... less authors ( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2018 , Article)Thermoactive geostructures (such as energy piles) are used for heating and cooling of buildings, which generate daily temperature changes and cycles in the geostructure and surrounding soil due to the intermittent operation ... -
Investigation of effects of temperature cycles on soil-concrete interface behavior using direct shear tests
Xiao S.; Suleiman M.T.; Al-Khawaja M. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)This publication was made possible by NPRP Grant NPRP-9-080-2-039 from Qatar National Research Fund (a member of the Qatar Foundation). L. M. Calado acknowledges Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia ( FCT ) for Ph.D. grant ... -
Isolation, differentiation and biodiversity of ureolytic bacteria of Qatari soil and their potential in microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) for soil stabilization
Bibi S.; Oualha M.; Ashfaq M.Y.; Suleiman M.T.; Zouari N. ( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2018 , Article)Biomineralization plays a key role in modifying the geological properties of soil, thereby stabilizing it against wind erosion, especially in areas characterized by harsh weather and harsh soil (calcareous and arid); i.e. ... -
Treatment of Sand Using Microbial-Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) for Wind Erosion Application
Gu J.; Suleiman M.T.; Bastola H.; Brown D.G.; Zouari N. ( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2018 , Conference Paper)Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has been used to improve soil properties for different geotechnical applications. This research focuses on evaluating the use of MICP for the wind erosion application. The ...
