Experimental study of the attenuation properties of metal-viscoelastic bi-layered materials
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Phononic crystals (PCs) are multi-layered materials with functional elastic wave band gaps where propagation of vibration within these band gaps is restricted. PCs have vibration attenuation properties dependent on their ...
Pervasive Fibre-optic sensor networks in bridges: A UK case study
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Integrating fibre-optic sensor networks in a newly-constructed infrastructure assets enables datadriven performance assessment during its construction and throughout its operational life. As part of a multimillion pound ...
Characterisation of air voids in w-fam samples using x-ray ct imaging
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This study documents the use of high-resolution X-Ray Computed Tomography to characterise air void distribution in Fine Aggregate Mixtures (FAM) prepared using Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) additives (W-FAM). Specimens were imaged ...
Gas Driven Fracture during Gas Production using HeleShaw Cell
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Methane hydrate is considered a potential energy source, with worldwide reserves on the order of 500-10,000 Gt of carbon. The production of Methane from hydratebearing sediments requires hydrate dissociation for releasing ...
Groundwater pollution by petroleumderived contaminants in coastal semiarid environment
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
A common source of contamination of soil and groundwater in arid and (semi)-arid coastal regions are accidental spills of petroleum products, such as crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel. Groundwater pollution by petroleum ...
An effective technique utilizing frcm system in strengthening rc beams in shear
(
ISEC Press
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the efficacy of a new technique of fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) for the strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete (RC) beams. This technique involves embedding the FRCM ...
Effectiveness of frcm system in strengthening rc beams in shear using hybrid nse/eb technique
(
ISEC Press
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents an experimental study on the efficacy of a recently introduced hybrid "near surface embedded/ externally bonded" NSE/EB fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM). Seven medium scale RC beams, deficient ...
Effect of Pavement Surface Aging on Tire-Pavement Noise: A Case Study in the State of Qatar
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The acoustical performance of asphalt pavements changes with time due to combined effects of environmental conditions and various distresses induced by repeated and heavy traffic. This study examined the changes in the ...

Evaluation of traffic noise in the state of qatar
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Mitigating traffic noise is a major concern for transportation departments worldwide. A number of noise mitigation procedures are recognized to control noise emitting from traffic stream. However, noise reduction potential ...
