Impact Of Lateral Swell Pressure On Retaining Structure Design Using Expansive Cohesive Backfill
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-08-08)
Since cohesive soils are difficult to drain once becoming saturated, in order to reduce lateral earth pressures exerted by saturated cohesive soils on retaining structures, retaining wall designs most always specify use ...
Ductile Lightweight Concrete For Lightweight Structural Application
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-08-08)
This study developed a ductile concrete for precast wall systems which are capable of resisting high wind in excess of 500 mph. The developed concrete mix design consists of sand, cement, glass fiber, and a foaming agent ...
Effects Of Calcium-based Treatment On Organic Soil Behavior
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Organic soils are found in many places around the world. Organic soils undergo large secondary settlements depending on the amount of organic matter present in the soil Organic soil is a mixture of finely divided particles ...
Subsurface Investigations Using High Resolution Resistivity
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Electrical resistivity imaging has been proved to be well suited to produce images of subsurface conditionsbecause of the ability of the technique for detecting resistive features and discriminating subtle resistivity ...
Building Pressure Tests Of Fiber-reinforced Foam-based Lightweight Concrete Precast Wall Panels
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Instrumentation and procedures for building pressure tests were designed as a
means of providing new wind pressure test methods for full-scale building models.
Fiber-reinforced foam-based lightweight concrete precast ...
Dynamic Properties Of Compacted Soils Using Resonant Column With Self-contained Bender Elements
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-08-08)
A comprehensive series of resonant column and bender elements tests were simultaneously performed in the developed RC/BE apparatus. RC/BE tests were conducted on compacted specimens of poorly graded sand (SP) and high ...
Experimental And Field Monitoring Studies On Recycled Materials As Pavement Bases
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-04-22)
Natural aggregates derived from a variety of source rocks have been used as a road base material. But the extraction of natural aggregates resources is increasingly being constrained by urbanization, increased costs and ...
The Effect Of Temperature On Fiber Composite Bridge Decks
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-08-08)
The use of Fiber composite honeycomb structure's as bridge decks gained importance, because of its low light weight and ease of installation.
In this study, The Fiber composite bridge decks were subjected to thermal ...
Regression Model For Prioritization Of Corridors When Retiming Traffic Signals
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-04-22)
Traffic signals are used by transportation engineers to safely and efficiently manage vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic on roadways. However, to maintain the effectiveness of traffic signals, traffic signals should ...
