A study on the bond behavior of different FRCM systems
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Fabric-reinforced cementitous matrix (FRCM) composites are usually applied on the concrete surface for the purpose of strengthening reinforced concrete structures. However, the efficiency of FRCM strengthening is notably ...
Characterization and application of FRCM as a strengthening material for shear-critical RC beams
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the effectiveness of fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems in shear-strengthening of reinforced concrete beams. Three types of FRCM systems were considered, namely, polyparaphenylene ...
In-service video-vibration monitoring for identification of walking patterns in an office floor
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, IIAV
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Footfall-induced vibrations in office floors can create significant problems for the occupants and facility owners. Such vibrations cannot be modeled by traditional load models since the vibration response of a floor depends ...
A simple method to assess walkability around metro stations
(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The ability to walk or ride a bike safely to and from metro stations is essential to the success of any metro service, especially for car users switching to the service. The main purpose of this study is to develop and ...
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 ...
Ground-borne vibration investigation by model-ling the tunnel-soil interaction using a finite element package
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, IIAV
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In 2013, Qatar Rail announced major rail projects that include an urban rail network for the city of Doha with lines running on the surface and underground which are expected to be in operation by 2020. Railway systems are ...
Defect based risk assessment model for prioritizing inspection of sewer pipelines
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In presence of financial constraints and dire need for inspecting deteriorated sewer pipelines, inspection prioritization tools are required. This paper presents a defect based risk assessment model for prioritizing ...
Challenges and Mitigation of Cyber Threat in Automated Vehicle: An Integrated Approach
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The technological development of automated vehicles opens novel cybersecurity threats and risks for road safety. Increased connectivity often results in increased risks of a cyber-security attacks, which is one of the ...
Numerical study on the effect of insulator size and shape on fouling suppression by electrodeless dielectrophoresis in submerged membrane bioreactors
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The application of obstacle dielectrophoresis has the potential to enhance membrane fouling suppression in submerged membranes bioreactors while requiring low energy consumption. In this study, the effect of the insulators ...
Numerical study of the attenuation properties of viscoelastic metamaterials
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Metamaterials (MMs) are materials engineered to have a property that is not found in nature. In this study, one-dimensional MMs is investigated, particularly that with a functional elastic wave band gaps where propagation ...
