Expanding In-situ Surface Water Quality Monitoring Techniques for Optically Complex Inland Waters Utilizing small Unoccupied Aerial Systems (sUAS)
(2021-05-14)
Remote sensing is described as the art and science of interpreting information (e.g., reflectance) collected from a target object (e.g., vegetation) using technology (e.g., satellites, occupied aircraft, and small unoccupied ...
Impact of elevated temperatures on soil tensile strength
(2021-05-14)
Tensile strength of unsaturated soils is a critical factor controlling the initiation and propagation of desiccation cracks, which can threaten the structural integrity of natural and man-made earthen structures and slopes. ...
Development and evaluation of a hydrological and hydraulic coupled flood prediction system enabled by remote sensing, numerical weather prediction, and deep learning technologies
(2021-05-14)
Floods triggered by extreme precipitation are the most frequently occurring and disastrous natural hazards in the world. However, it is still challenging to provide accurate and flood mapping, flood damage estimation, and ...
Development of a novel apparatus to determine the multiaxial tensile failure criteria for ultra-high performance concretes
(2021-12)
The use of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), a stronger and more durable class of concrete, has increased in recent years. Large-scale production has been limited due to the cost of proprietary UHPC products, but the ...
Moisture-Induced Damage Characterization of Asphalt Mixes: A Chemical, Thermodynamic and Mechanistic Approach
(2021-05)
Moisture-induced damage is one of the major distresses which leads to the deterioration of mechanical properties of asphalt mixes and failure of asphalt pavements. Evaluation of the moisture-induced damage potential is a ...
