Development and Application of Composite Beam Theory on FRP Reinforced Concrete Flexural Members
(2021-01-19)
Although there are specifications and approaches for the design of concrete flexural members reinforced with FRP, most of them were derived from empirical data. In order to obtain the rigorous theoretical definition of ...
A Critical Opportunity: Lead in Drinking Water at Child Care Facilities
(2021-01-19)
There is no safe level of lead exposure. As exposure from point sources like lead paint have been reduced through legislation, non-point sources such as drinking water have become a greater proportional source of total ...
Analysis and Optimization of Multilayered Airfield Pavement Resilience
(2021-04-02)
The overall objective of this research was to optimize the individual layers of a multilayered airfield pavement to make the pavement more resilient to blast and impact loadings when compared to a baseline rigid pavement. ...
Leveraging Automation in Data Enhancement and Quality Control Protocols for Post-Windstorm Reconnaissance Data
(2021-04-30)
Extreme windstorms cause loss of life, major financial losses, and disrupt community well-being. Post-windstorm field reconnaissance is one of the traditional methods used to collect data about these natural hazards. The ...
Evaluation of Laboratory and Field Produced Cold Recycled and Full Depth Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Materials
(2021-05-18)
Cold recycling (CR) and full depth reclamation (FDR) are sustainable processes of
recycling existing pavement materials to construct stronger stabilized base layers. The recycled
asphalt pavement’s materials vary in ...
Studying the soil-strength effects of vegetation for slope stabilization and erosion control along streambanks and roadside slopes
(2021-05-19)
Vegetative covers are a common solution used for erosion control and slope stabilization for a variety of applications. Studies were conducted to look at two applications of vegetation for erosion control, stream restoration ...
Role of mineralogy in controlling fracture formation
(2021-04-28)
Geologic CO2 storage systems rely on impermeable caprock layers to prevent fluid leakage and maintain system integrity. In these systems, mineral dissolution and precipitation reactions controlled by the reactivity of the ...
FULL-SCALE MECHANISTIC AND PERFORMANCE INVESTIGATION OF A FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT WITH A STABILIZED FOUNDATION
(2021-06-21)
The current study aimed to develop a mechanistic understanding of the behavior of flexible pavements with stabilized foundations through full-scale testing, instrumentation, and simulation. In pursuit of this objective, a ...
Soil-Structure Interaction Effects on the Seismic Response of Steel Structures
(2021-07-15)
Significant earthquakes are one of the most damaging events for structures. Much research has been done to mitigate the effect of earthquakes on structures. Soil-structure interaction can have a significant impact on the ...
Developing a Tool for the Design and Cost Optimization of Permeable Pavements in the Planning Stage of Stormwater Management
(2021-07-12)
Stormwater runoff, when not managed properly, can represent a threat to the environment especially in today’s urban setting. For small pavement applications such as parking lots, conventional pavements and best management ...
