Greywater reuse emerges as a promising solution, being renewable resource with relatively low treatment costs due to its pollutant content. In Saudi Arabia, ablution water (AW) serves significant example of greywater substantial quantities. This study introduces an assessment pilot scale sustainable filtration system for treating AW purposes and savings potential in mosques. Various samples were collected from 24 mosques distributed across Riyadh, considering geographic location local...
Current research studies offer an investigation of machine learning methods used for forecasting rainfall in urban metropolitan cities. Time series data, distinguished by their temporal complexities, are exploited using a unique data segmentation approach, providing discrete training, validation, and testing sets. Two models created: Model-1, which is based on daily Model-2, weekly data. A variety performance criteria to rigorously analyze these models. CatBoost, XGBoost, Lasso, Ridge,...
In this technology era, sustainable construction practices have become quite imperative. The exploration of alternative materials to reduce the environmental footprint is paramount importance. This research paper delves into an exhaustive investigation concerning utilization recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) and rubber particles (RP) in concrete. It contributes growing body knowledge aimed at fostering development industry by reducing waste, promoting recycling, mitigating building materials....
This study investigates the use of developed machine learning techniques for modeling performance AlHayer, Saudi Arabia, wastewater treatment plant (ALWTP). Three physio-chemical characteristics were measured and predicted, including chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological (BOD), suspended solids (SS), at ALWTP. The pre-evaluation collected data revealed effective capabilities ALWTP removal solids, organic, nutrient pollutants. To estimate ALWATP, four evaluated compared. Logistic...
Due to the deterioration and environmental issues of cement-based ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), there is an increasing interest in utilizing geopolymer technology develop UHPC. Therefore, this paper presents a statistically based model using response surface methods investigate application approach design optimization (UHPGC) mixtures. Twenty mixtures were designed generated experimentally central composite (CCD) concept. Flowability, bulk density, compressive flexural strengths,...
The extant body of literature articulates a noticeable disparity in the susceptibility to cracking and concomitant material degradation between alkali-activated composites (AAC) ordinary Portland cement (OPC), predominantly attributable shrinkage subsequent drying phenomena. This divergence derives from nanoscopic porosity AAC binders, which is substantially finer than their OPC counterparts. However, experimental research validates that judicious incorporation alternative cementitious...
Abstract This study explores the transformative potential of Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) in management and preservation heritage structures Saudi Arabia, particularly alignment with Vision 2030’s objectives. Leveraging advanced technologies such as laser scanning, 3D modeling, structural analysis tools, HBIM offers significant advantages enhancing documentation, conducting comprehensive risk assessments, implementing sustainable retrofitting strategies. The case Hejaz...
This paper leverages data from February 6, 2023, Kahramanmaras (Turkiye) Earthquake (Mw 7.8) to evaluate seismic risk and assess bridge damage through a fuzzy synthetic approach (FSA). A novel hierarchical classification framework is introduced, integrating critical factors such as ground conditions, structural characteristics, intensity. By analyzing 331 bridges affected by eight major historical earthquakes, the study underscored influence of foundation depth, construction quality,...
Abstract This study critically examines the reliability and resilience of Muscat coastal highway network (CHN) under compounded effects earthquakes floods, representing interacting multi-hazard scenarios. The analysis utilized fragility functions for both earthquake-induced flood-induced landslides, integrating these with traffic data selected links to estimate bridge damage assess CHN functionality in post-hazard conditions. Economic sensitivity revealed a significant increase costs due...
In the kingdom of Saudi Arabia almost 60% construction projects were delayed in recent decade. Contractor selection is critical decision for success any project. The typical method contractor Arabian generally based on prioritizing lowest bid price, irrespective experience, quality, and other factors without investigating in-depth pre-qualification contractors. This often leads to disputes project delays. this regard, main goal presented research work development a framework that can help...
This paper aims to elucidate the clear visibility of attenuating seismic waves (SWs) with forest trees as natural metamaterials known (FMs) arranged in a periodic pattern around protected area. In analyzing changeability FM models, five distinct cases “metawall” configurations were considered. Numerical simulations conducted study characteristics bandgaps (BGs) and vibration modes for each model. The finite element method (FEM) was used illustrate generation BGs low frequency ranges....
Suction assisted installation of caisson foundations in sand relies on the developed seepage around wall. Seepage is known to produce soil loosening inside cavity and an overall reduction resistance penetration. On other hand, suction must be controlled so that no excessive piping induced within volume trapped cavity. When it extends over full embedded length wall, may lead formation channels, which compromise established seal between ultimately cause process stop. A safe requires a proper...
Abstract Excavation in Sabkha soils, found coastal regions of Saudi Arabia, presents complex challenges construction due to their unique geotechnical characteristics. These soils are known for high compressibility, collapsibility, and variable sediment deposition, rendition them unsuitable excavation without adequate support systems. As urbanization industrial activities continue expand into these areas, the demand effective systems becomes gradually critical. This study investigates...
The use of steel structures in the developing countries is limited spite its better performance case seismic events due to high ductility. Although behave well under excitation, nevertheless structural limiting these days. This paper aims address various parameters related capacity design approach involved conventional structures. Few cases early construction such as bridges Pakistan are briefly described. Philosophies based on and importance lateral load resisting systems with their global...
