(2017-06-16)
Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the United States, leading to over $440 million in annual funding for research and yet anticancer drug development is an unmet need. In order to find a more effective way ...
THE PERFORMANCE OF CONCRETE CONTAINING HIGH VOLUMES OF RECYCLED MATERIALS FOR USE IN PAVEMENT APPLICATIONS
(2017-12)
America’s roadway system is in need of a more sustainable, efficient, and innovative plan to improve the condition if its infrastructure. As a possible solution, this research focuses on using recycled concrete aggregate ...
Multistage Triaxial Test on Conventional and Unconventional Rocks
(2017-05-12)
The triaxial test is a technique commonly used to determine the failure stress of rocks in compression. Typically, a series of triaxial tests are needed to establish a failure envelope. Unfortunately, the practical constraint ...
