EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON RESILIENT BEHAVIOR OF GEOCELL-REINFORCED RECYCLED ASPHALT PAVEMENT BASE LAYER: MODEL DEVELOPMENT
(2017-12-14)
Recycled Asphalt Material (RAP) is defined as removed and reprocessed pavement materials containing asphalt and aggregates. These materials are obtained when asphalt pavements are removed for the rehabilitation and maintenance ...
A COMPARISON OF SMART CITY INDICATORS FOR THREE TOP TEN US CITIES
(2017-05-23)
The world population has been increasing each year, and the immigration from rural to urban cities has increased as well. The United Nations has estimated that more than 66% of people worldwide live in urban area, and this ...
Applications of Ultra-High Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete on Flexural Structural and Architectural Members
(2017-06-14)
This thesis presents the test results of a study on flexural and shear behavior of Ultra-High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced concrete (UHP-FRC) beams, reinforced with Grade 60 steel (ASTM A615/A615M), Grade 100 steel (ASTM ...
Investigation of reuse of coal fly ash to mitigate landfill methane gas
(2017-06-08)
Methane (CH4) is a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG), contributing 32% of current climate forcing (US EPA, 2015). In 2014 the White House released the “Strategy to Cut Methane Emissions” as part of the Climate Action Plan. ...
STUDY OF PARAMETERS IMPACTING PRODUCTIVITY OF TUNNEL BORING MACHINES
(2017-01-17)
Tunnel construction has been on the rise for transportation of humans, freight and fluids.
For a successful tunneling project, it is necessary for that tunneling contractors to have
sufficient data about scope of work, ...
Shear Investigation of Polypropylene Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Beams
(2017-02-14)
This study investigates the effect of macro-synthetic polypropylene fibers on the shear strength and failure behavior of longitudinally reinforced concrete beams with and/ or without transverse reinforcement. Eight large-scale ...
AERMOD MODELING OF AIR POLLUTANT EMISSIONS FROM BACKUP GENERATOR USE IN LAGOS, NIGERIA
(2017-12-07)
Generator emissions contribute to increase in air pollution. In developing countries with inadequate electricity supply, many people rely on back-up generators for long-term electricity supply. Nigeria is the second biggest ...
Hydrocarbon Pool Fire Performance of Reinforced Elastomeric Bearing Pads
(2017-08-09)
Bearing pads are used as support for bridge girders to transfer the reaction forces to the substructure. They are designed to accommodate high axial loads from girder, shear deformations due to lateral thermal expansion ...
Performance of Lime- and Cement- based Treatments of Sulfate-rich Soil via RC Testing
(2017-09-20)
Chemical treatment of expansive sulfate-rich soils, particularly lime- and cement-based methods, had been rather popular due to their relatively low cost and ready availability. However, over the last few decades, extensively ...
Conditional Bias-Penalized Kalman Filter for Improved Estimation and Prediction of Extremes
(2017-08-18)
Kalman filter (KF) and its variants are widely used for real-time updating of model states and prediction in environmental sciences and engineering. Whereas in many applications the most important performance criteria may ...
