Evaluation of Nondestructive Test Methods for Concrete Bridge Deck Condition Assessment
(2021-07-14)
To facilitate locating subsurface concrete bridge deck defects and determining their
corresponding severity, departments of transportation are switching to nondestructive
test (NDT) methods. However, the difficulty in ...
Enhancing understanding of mineral accessible surface area to improve simulation of mineral reaction rates in porous media
(2021-07-19)
Geological formations have great potential for large scale carbon sequestration, where the CO2 is mineralized through geochemical reactions. These reactions are rather complex and can potentially alter the formation ...
Reliability Analysis of Prestressed Concrete Box Girder Bridges in California
(2021-07-27)
Truck traffic increases day by day according to the economy. Road network infrastructure has to meet this growing demand. This work focuses on prestressed concrete box girder bridges in California, because many signs of ...
Laboratory Evaluation of Heat Exchange Between Superheated Virgin Aggregate and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Material
(2021-07-27)
The most common method of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) material processing in the production of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) in the United States is by using cold feed recycling. Superheating the virgin aggregates by hot gas ...
Numerical Modeling of Liquefaction-induced Settlement due to Reconsolidation
(2021-07-30)
Soil liquefaction poses a major threat to human life and property. Settlement following liquefaction has been one of the major sources of liquefaction-induced damage in past earthquakes and creating resilient infrastructure ...
BEHAVIOR AND CAPACITY OF THERMALLY RESTRAINED MOMENT FRAME MEMBERS DURING COMPARTMENT FIRE
(2021-07-27)
In the event of a fire hazard, structural resistance depends on the ability to resist a comprehensive set of load combinations comprising the gravity loads and the thermally induced fire loads without undergoing failure. ...
Evaluation of Nondestructive Testing Methods to Assess the Condition of Concrete Bridge Decks
(2021-08-02)
Bridges are critical parts of the transportation infrastructure in the United States and throughout the world. During their lifecycle, reinforced-concrete bridge decks can experience distresses and defects in the form of ...
Impact of overloaded vehicles on bridges
(2021-08-03)
Excessive weight and a growing number of overloaded vehicles can cause an accelerated consumption of bridge service life. Therefore, there is a need to control the operation of heavy traffic. This study considered the ...
Finite Element Modelling of Large Area Maintenance Shelters and Comparison to Experimental Results
(2021-08-16)
Large area maintenance shelters (LAMS) are used as temporary structures by the United States Air Force to provide shelter for helicopters, tanks, wheeled vehicles, and aircraft. There are several different brands of LAMS ...
Development and Validation of an Inertial Vehicle Barrier Calculator
(2021-11-11)
The danger of malevolent vehicle penetration attempts at the perimeter of protected facilities is an increasing threat across the globe. Passive, unanchored inertial vehicle barriers rely on their mass and friction with ...
