Concrete electrical resistivity at varied water, chloride contents and porosity – experiment, modelling & application (2020)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., Oleiwi, H., & Nan, X. (2020). Concrete electrical resistivity at varied water, chloride contents and porosity – experiment, modelling & application. Advanced materials letters (Online), 11(7), 20071536. https://doi.org/10.5185/amlett.2020.071536

Understanding and characterizing the relationship between the electrical resistivity and the major influencing factors of the concrete have been all the time a topical research in relation to structural durability. This paper reports an experimental... Read More about Concrete electrical resistivity at varied water, chloride contents and porosity – experiment, modelling & application.

The characterization of chloride effect on concrete water sorption and its application in the modelling of concrete conditions in tidal zones (2020)
Journal Article

Concrete exposed to cyclic wetting and drying in salty water conditions is thought to be subjected to an accelerated ingress of chloride from the outside environment, and prone to a worsening deterioration process inside. Additionally, there is an os... Read More about The characterization of chloride effect on concrete water sorption and its application in the modelling of concrete conditions in tidal zones.

Legacy soil contamination by crude oil from the First Gulf War : geochemical characteristics, spatial pattern and environmental risk (2020)
Thesis
Almebayedh, H. Legacy soil contamination by crude oil from the First Gulf War : geochemical characteristics, spatial pattern and environmental risk. (Thesis). University of Salford

The first Gulf War resulted in large-scale oil spills in Kuwait. Selection of appropriate soil remediation methods needs to be informed by accurate soil characterization and this knowledge is currently lacking. The aim of this PhD study was to obtain...
