Minimizing wind erosion using microbial induced carbonate precipitation
Bick, Pierre; Bastola, Hridaya; Suleiman, Muhannad T.; Gu, Jianbo; Diplas, Panayiotis; Brown, Derick G.; Zouari, Nabil... more authors ... less authors ( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2019 , Conference Paper)This research focuses on investigating the effectiveness of microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) to reduce the potential for wind erosion. This paper summarizes the results of preliminary wind tunnel experiments. ... -
Modified-thermal borehole shear test device and testing procedure to investigate the soil-structure interaction of energy piles
Xiao, Suguang; Suleiman, Muhannad T.; Naito, Clay; Al-Khawaja, Mohammed ( ASTM International , 2017 , Article)The intermittent operation of heat pumps connected to energy piles causes cyclic variation of temperature in the pile and surrounding soil, affecting the soil-pile interaction in ways that have not been fully investigated ... -
Potential of ground source heat pump systems in cooling-dominated environments: Residential buildings
Mohamad, Kharseh; Al-Khawaja, Mohammed; Suleiman, Muhannad T. ( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)For countries in the Arabian Peninsula, air conditioning (A/C) systems account for 65% of the energy consumption, all of which comes from fossil fuel. Given the preparation for the 2022 World Cup, which will be held in ... -
Shear and Tensile Strength Measurements of CaCO 3 Cemented Bonds between Glass Beads Treated by Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation
Gao Kewei; Lin Hai; Suleiman Muhannad T.; Bick Pierre; Babuska Tomas; Li Xiwei; Helm Jeffrey; Brown Derick G.; Zouari Nabil... more authors ... less authors ( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2023 , Article)The particle-scale shear and tensile strength measurements of microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) treatment have been investigated in this paper. Glass beads were used to represent sand particles. Three ... -
Soil-concrete interface properties subjected to temperature changes and cycles using direct shear tests
Xiao, Suguang; Suleiman, Muhannad T.; Elzeiny, Rehab; Xie, Huan; Al-Khawaja, Mohammed ( American Society of Civil Engineers Library (ASCE Library) , 2017 , Conference Paper)Geothermal foundations (energy piles) combine the structural function of deep foundations with the ground source heat exchangers to transfer geothermal energy to superstructures. The intermittent operation of the geothermal ...
