Lateral deformation of bridge embankments supported on soft soils
(2020-12)
Excessive bridge embankment deformation, namely in the lateral direction, continues to damage bridges leading to costly repairs or early replacement. The lateral deformation of bridge embankments is often overlooked in ...
Investigating the need for and effect of air entrainment in high performance concrete.
(2002)
The use of high performance concrete (HPC) in exterior structures has increased in recent years. Its increased strength and durability make HPC very appealing to the prestressed concrete industry, particularly in bridge ...
Field stabilization of Ponca City shale /
(1985)
The microstructure of stabilized shale was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The non basal (hkl) reflections in stabilized ...
Durability of cementitiously stabilized aggregate bases for pavement application.
(2005)
Cementitious stabilization has been extensively used to improve the performance of pavement materials. In the past, emphasis has been placed on observing the macromanifestation of stabilized pavement materials, but to the ...
Inelastic stability of tapered, singly-symmetric beam-columns.
(1982)
The purpose of this study is to determine the inelastic lateraltorsional buckling load of a linearly web-tapered member having unequal flanges and subjected to unequal end moments and axial load. Triangular residual stress ...
Water reuse potential in the Valley of Mexico and design of a general methodology for the selection of the best water reuse alternative /
(1983)
The Valley of Mexico, as well as many other regions in the world, is experiencing acute water shortages mainly due to population explosion, industrial development, and limited water resources. The major objectives of this ...
Algorithmic improvements and analyses of the generalized wave continuity equation based model, ADCIRC.
(2005)
Second, nearly all GWC-based models utilize a velocity-based, non-conservative momentum equation (NCM) to obtain the depth-averaged velocity profile. It has been hypothesized that the conservative momentum equation (CM) ...
Development and analysis of algorithmic improvements for the ADCIRC hydrodynamic model.
(2005)
This work addresses enhancements to the popular shallow water model, ADCIRC, ADvanced three-dimensional CIRCulation model. The shallow water equations (SWE) are based on conservation of mass and momentum and can be used ...
Axial load capacity of cold-formed steel sections.
(2006)
Cold-formed steel strut purlins are important compression members in metal building wind bracing systems. They are generally located under the roof panel either in the braced bay or between the end wall and the first ...
