Investigation Of The Lower Bound Compressive And Flexural Strengths Of Conventional Concrete And Clay Masonry
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Conventional masonry is a handcrafted product in which units are placed by hand in a mortar bedding that is prepared during construction. TMS 402 Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (also referred to by the ...
Use Of Electrical Resistivity And Multichannel Analysis Of Surface Wave Geophysical Tomography In Geotechnical Site Characterization Of Dam
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Performance of geotechnical site characterization is a primary function of geotechnical engineers. Generalizations required to extrapolate conventional geotechnical boring data can limit the effectiveness of site assessments. ...
Development And Benefits Of A LEED Project Management Database
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
The U.S. Green Building Council is a non-profit community of industry leaders working to make green buildings available to everyone. The documentation process for achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ...
Long Term Durability Studies On Chemically Treated Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Materials
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is a well known construction material which has been used in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) to reduce material costs and stabilizing the pavements for several years. It has been reported that out ...
Theoretical Feasibility Study For A Conceptual Approach To Trenchless Replacement Of Culverts
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Culvert damage and collapses and their renewal alternatives are a raising concern in today's infrastructure topics. In most cases damages are irreversible; however, in many cases opportunities exist to correct and renew. ...
An Investigation Of Productivity Loss Due To Outdoor Noise Conditions
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Most people in day to day life at one time or other get irritated or distracted by surrounding noises. The irritation might have resulted in minor aggravation or may have been dramatic enough to hinder their work. This ...
Durability Studies On Stabilization Effectiveness Of Soils Containing Different Fractions Of Montmorillonite
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Stabilization of clays with additives like lime and cement has been practiced for several years and worked well in improving the subgrades. Though this practice is used widely, there were cases where the treated subgrades ...
Field Investigations On Performance Of Short Drilled Shafts Under Inclined Loading
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-07-19)
In the Kaufman County area within the Texas Department of Transportation's Dallas District, several short drilled shaft foundations supporting three-cable median barrier systems wereobserved to be distressed during severe ...
Development Of A Suction-controlled Resonant Column Apparatus With Self-contained Bender Elements
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Small-strain soil stiffness properties such as shear modulus, shear wave velocity, and material damping, are key subsoil parameters for an adequate analysis and design of unsaturated earth structures subject to static and ...
Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis Of Hybrid Frames
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
This study proposes a hybrid frame system consisting of rigid and semi-rigid connections subjected to a dynamic loading. Two building geometries are chosen to represent low-rise and high-rise buildings. Multiple locations ...
