Modeling heat transfer in mass concrete floors with radiant heat from ground source systems
(2017-05)
Thermal properties of concrete have been extensively studied for the design of mass concrete structures regarding cracking and stress development considerations. The rise in blended cement with limestone and fly ash as a ...
Exploring pavement texture and surface skid resistance using soft computing techniques
(2017-12)
Pavement skid resistance and texture characteristics are important aspects of road safety. Traditional pavement friction measurement from limited contact with pavement is influenced by multiple factors such as temperature, ...
Direct observations on microstructure evolution of cement systems at early ages
(2017-05)
There is limited understanding of the mechanisms or direct measurements of cement paste hydration, as the main component that determines mechanical, durability, and rheology properties of concrete. This dissertation uses ...
Soil matric suction and active zone depth in Oklahoma
(2017-05)
Soil matric suction is an important parameter in unsaturated soils. The shrink-swell properties of expansive soils is controlled by soil matric suction. Matric suction variations cause volume change in expansive soils, ...
Data-driven approach to support bridge asset management
(2017-12)
Economic growth and reduction of poverty lies in a well-planned, constructed, and maintained infrastructure that includes water and sanitation networks, airports, schools, health facilities, and highways systems. As bridges ...
