Non-linear Finite Element-based Material Constitutive Law For Zero Slump Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Pipe Structures
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-03-12)
This study presents a comprehensive investigation of performance and behavior of steel-fiber reinforced concrete pipes (SFRCP). The main goal of this study is to develop the material constitutive model for steel fiber ...
Sustainable Slope Stabilization Using Recycled Plastic Pin In Texas
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-03-12)
Shallow slope failures are predominant in the North Texas area and pose significant maintenance problems for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). As a cost effective alternative, the Recycled Plastic Pin (RPP) ...
Testing And Design Life Analysis Of Polyurea Liner Materials
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-03-12)
Certainly, water pipes, as part of an underground infrastructure system, play a key role in maintaining quality of life, health, and wellbeing of human kind. As these potable water pipes reach the end of their useful life, ...
Group Resistance Of Recycled Plastic Pin In Sustainable Slope Stabilization
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-07-14)
Slope failure is a common phenomenon in areas with slope constructed on high plasticity clay and shallow slope failure is predominant in North Texas. The cumulative maintenance cost of minor slides is equal or greater than ...
Comparison Of The Installation Of Strand With Steel Bar Tendons In Anchored Drilled Shaft Wall
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-07-14)
Anchored drilled shaft walls are common in construction nowadays in the U.S. The use of either strand tendons or steel bar tendons as anchors in construction is approved. However, there is no information from a construction ...
Enhancing Effectiveness Of Aashto Type Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girder Through Fiber Reinforced Polymer Strengthening
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-07-14)
Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) are newly used materials by structuralengineers compared to concrete, steel, and wood. One area in which FRP is being used more and more is the strengthening of structurally deficient concrete ...
The Impact Of Lime Dosage On Odor Reduction Of Biosolids
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
The amount of boisolids production is increasing due to developing cities and the mitigation of biosolids odorants is a key role to have a successful biosolids land application program. The objective of this study is to ...
Pavement Performance Monitoring Using Dynamic Cone Penetrometer And Geogauge During Construction
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
Proper design life of road network system requires adequate quality control measures during the construction process to ensure proper material quality and sufficient strength in between the materials. Laboratory tests are ...
Settlement Analysis Of Drilled Shaft Foundation On Natural And Lime-treated Compressible Clayey Soil
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
Drilled shaft foundations are primarily used to support structures such as bridge piers, buildings, and transmission towers. The main advantage of a drilled shaft foundation is that it transfers loads to the stronger ...
Spatial Variability Models And Prediction Analysis Of Soil Properties Using Geostatistics
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
Soils are composed of solid, water and air phases whose characteristics are highly variable. The interactions of these phases in the soil matrix can lead to different types of topographical formations and characteristics. ...
