HYDRODYNAMIC FORCES ON STREAM-CROSSING BRIDGES – CONSIDERATION OF FLOW PARAMETERS, BRIDGE GEOMETRY, AND DEBRIS
(2022-05-16)
This thesis examines the interaction of flood flow with bridge superstructures by considering the effects of the flow parameters, bridge geometry, debris, and bridge substructures. The hydrodynamic forces are expressed by ...
Quantitative Non-Destructive Evaluation of Rebar Corrosion in Concrete
(2022-05-17)
Corrosion of rebar is considered the leading cause of deterioration in concrete structures. When steel rust, it occupies larger volume and creates pressure on the concrete, leading to cracking and spalling. As the cross-section ...
