NON-LINEAR ANALYSIS OF STEEL FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE HOLLOW COLUMNS UNDER UNIAXIAL BENDING
(2018-01-23)
This study investigates the performance of Steel Fiber Reinforced concrete hollow
columns under axial compressive load and uniaxial bending with varying amounts of steel fiber using Finite Element Method of Analysis. The ...
A Thermal Inertia Approach to Precision Irrigation using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Coupled with High-Resolution Multispectral Imagery
(2018-02-15)
Soil moisture is a critical variable in the optimization of irrigation scheduling in water resources management. Despite using tens to hundreds of thousands of gallons of water each day, many golf courses rely on a sparse ...
A Standard Tensile Testing Procedure for Fiber-reinforced Concrete (FRC) and Ultra-high-performance Fiber-reinforced Concrete (UHP-FRC) based on Double Punch Test (DPT)
(2018-01-11)
Current test methods such as ASTM 1609, ASTM 1550 and direct tensile test are used for evaluating the mechanical properties of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) and to determine the quality of mixture in design and construction ...
FIELD SWCC MODELING AND SOIL WATER STORAGE EVALUATION THROUGH GEOPHYSICAL TESTING
(2018-12-19)
Evapotranspiration (ET) landfill cover is an emerging final cover system and offers several benefits over conventional landfill closure system. It is a cost-effective green solution for the sustainability of a landfill as ...
Diagnosis and Quantification of Post-Disaster Construction Material Cost Fluctuations
(2018-06-06)
The post-disaster survival of cities and communities depend on their capabilities to rapidly reconstruct damages. Temporary increase in construction costs following natural disasters, also known as “demand surge,” impedes ...
QUALITATIVE EVALUATION OF CFRP-CONCRETE BOND USING NON-DESTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE TESTING METHODS
(2018-05-10)
CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) laminates have been used as externally bonded reinforcements for retrofitting and structural strengthening of concrete structures. The adequacy of the CFRP bonding highly depends on ...
Evaluation of Beams and Columns Strengthening with Pre-Saturated and Regular CFRP
(2018-05-10)
Structural members such as columns and beams are often subjected to reduced capacity due to errors in design or construction or often due to deterioration with time. The effect of reduction in capacity due to environmental ...
LABORATORY AND FIELD STUDY OF A LIQUID IONIC SOIL STABILIZER
(2018-12-06)
Chemical stabilization of expansive soil has been practiced for quite a time now. The use of lime/cement stabilization as a traditional method has been well acknowledged, understood and standard guidelines for practice ...
STRUCTURAL SAFETY OF BRIDGE DECKS WITH VARIABLE REBAR COVER
(2018-12-10)
Construction defects are common and are difficult to avoid completely. This arises due to improper workmanship, inspection, drawing and specification. On bridge decks, achieving the desired cover is necessary since inadequacy ...
