Variability Of As-constructed Properties Of HMA And Their Relation To Pay Factors And Rutting Resistance: A Case Study
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)During the last decade, Texas has under gone a huge reconstruction of its major and strategic highways in order to improve transportation and prepare for future population and traffic growth. The population is estimated ... -
Vehicular Emissions Models Using Mobile6.2 And Field Data
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-09-17)Regression models to predict vehicular emissions for different categories of vehicles for different pollutants are presented in this thesis. Vehicular emissions are affected by numerous variables which, among others, include ... -
VISTAS: VOCATIONAL IMMERSIVE STORYTELLING TRAINING AND SUPPORT FRAMEWORK FOR AUGMENTING WORK PERFORMANCE
(2021-05-15)Training and assessment of novice workers are the most vital part of any vocational industry. Innovations in science and technology have led to the creation of new industries and occupations, enhanced productivity and ... -
Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Surface Coating Facilities: Characterization of Facilities, Estimation of Emission Rates, and Dispersion Modeling of Off-Site Impacts
(Scientific Research PublishingDepartment of Civil Engineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2013-08)Surface coating facilities are major sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in urban areas. These VOCs can contribute to ground-level ozone formation, and many are hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), including xylene, ... -
Water Damage Evaluation Of Concrete Infrastructure
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)This study presents an experimental program to evaluate the effect of a special waterproofing material, International Chem-Crete Pavix (CCP), on the durability of concrete. The experimental program identified the concrete ... -
Water Permeability In Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FPR)-wrapped Concrete
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)A finite element analysis is performed using ANSYS software to analyze progress of water and its circulation in FRP wrapped concrete. This paper presents the modeling of water diffusion in FRP. Finite element programs do ... -
A weighted residual parabolic acceleration time integration method for problems in structural dynamics
(Walter de Gruyter GmbHDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Texas at Arlington, 2007)In the proposed method, the variation of displacement in each time step is assumed to be a fourth order polynomial in time and its five unknown coefficients are calculated based on: two initial conditions from the previous ... -
Wide Band-Gap Metamaterials as Seismic Shields
(2023-07-20)In the past decade, a new paradigm gained popularity among researchers aiming to protect structures from low-frequency seismic vibrations using metamaterials. However, developing a workable design for metamaterials is still ...
