Corrosion-Damaged RC Beams Repaired with Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2018 , Article)The structural performance of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams repaired with fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) was investigated. Eleven RC beams were constructed and tested in flexure under ... -
Cost based Value Stream Mapping as a sustainable construction tool for undergraound pipeline construction projects
( MDPI AG , 2017 , Article)This paper deals with application of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) as a sustainable construction tool on a real construction project of installation of underground pipelines. VSM was adapted to reduce the high percentage of ... -
Cost benefit analysis for failure of sewer pipelines
( EDP Sciences , 2017 , Conference Paper)Sewer pipelines failure in sewage networks can have adverse potential impacts on socio-economic aspects in any community. Due to the fact that it's difficult to capture the relationship between the physical and economical ... -
Cost effectiveness of reinforcement alternatives for a concrete water chlorination tank
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Reinforced concrete tanks in water/wastewater treatment plants are susceptible to severe corrosion due to aggressive exposure conditions resulting from the application of certain treatment chemicals and methods. Non-corrosive ... -
Cost optimization of composite beams using genetic algorithms
( Elsevier Ltd , 2009 , Article)This paper presents a genetic algorithm model for the cost optimization of composite beams based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) specifications of the AISC. The model formulation includes the cost of concrete, ... -
Cost-benefit analysis of BIM-enabled design clash detection and resolution
(2020 , Article)Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly deployed as part of the processes in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry projects. While the benefits of BIM have been extensively proclaimed, ... -
Criteria and Challenges of Inclusive Design in the Built Environment
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Inclusive design is about designing accessible spaces for individuals with different needs. It beholds the ability to affect people's behaviour in the built environment, especially People With Disability (PWDs). Inclusive ... -
Critical factors determining bid/no bid decisions of contractors in Qatar
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2014 , Article)To bid or not to bid for construction projects is a crucial strategic decision for contractors' sustainability in the industry. The high complexity and uncertainty associated with such a decision-making process, which ... -
