Long-term Performance Of GFRP Reinforced Concrete Beams And Bars Subjected To Aggressive Environments
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in reinforced concrete (RC) structures has emerged as an alternative to traditional steel reinforcement environments and other applications where steel has shown greater ...
An Investigation Of Pipe Jacking Loads In Trenchless Technology
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Pipe jacking is a trenchless technology method of installing pipes under existing facilities such as roads and railroads. Predicting jacking forces is important for planning, design, and construction phases of these projects. ...
Selecting A Shaft/pit Construction Method For Trenchless Technology
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
The word shaft describes a vertical access point that is created by excavating, vertical boring, or blasting required before the start of tunneling or boring operations. Most trenchless technologies require entry shafts ...
Engineering Behavior Of Lime Treated High Sulfate Soils
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Regardless of increased knowledge and awareness of sulfate heave, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) continues to experience pavement failures during and immediately after construction on transportation ...
Impact Of Transit-oriented Infrastructure Investments on Property Valuations
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
The population explosion of the second half of the last century brought about increased human activity. Much of the attendant increased access to activities has been facilitated by the incredible technological advances in ...
Effect Of Pavement Type On Fuel Consumption In City Driving
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Vehicular fuel consumption and emissions are two increasingly important measures of effectiveness of sustainable transportation systems, particularly considering that mobile sources in the U.S. account for the largest ...
Flexural Behavior Of Steel Fiber Reinforced Prestressed Concrete Beams And Double Punch Test For Fiber Reinforced Concrete
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Steel fibers have widely been used in the past to reinforce brittle materials in many nonstructural applications such as pavement, tunneling lining, etc. On the basis of numerous previous studies, ACI 318-11 [2011] has ...
Shear Behavior Of Steel Fiber Reinforced Prestressed Concrete Beams Without Shear Reinforcement
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
The ACI 318-08 building code allows to use the steel fiber reinforcement as alternative shear reinforcement with satisfying certain criteria when a beam is required minimum shear reinforcement. However, this provision ...
Evaluating Beat Structure And Truck Allocation For The Tarrant County Courtesy Patrol
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Non-recurring congestion poses a significant concern to urban freeway drivers. Effective incident management relies on many tools to lessen the overall impact of crashes, road debris, and stalled/disabled vehicles. While ...
Evaluation Of Structural Monitoring Methods For Large Diameter Water Transmission Pipelines
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
The water transmission lines span thousands of miles and form a significant part of the underground infrastructure of United States. The condition of water pipelines deteriorates with time and becomes more vulnerable to ...
