POROVISCOELASTICITY AND ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONS OF SELECTED PROBLEMS IN ENGINEERING
(2011)
This study provides newly-derived analytical poroviscoelastic solutions for a number of practical and important engineering problems with various levels of material anisotropy: laboratory and field testing of cylinders ...
Plant uptake, time trends, and natural attenuation of selected metals in an abandoned mining district
(2011)
Soils, vegetation, and water in the abandoned Tri-State mining district are contaminated by lead, zinc, and other metals. To investigate trends in lead and zinc concentrations in the environment for past periods when little ...
EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS FOR STEEL CONGESTION RELIEF IN CONCRETE STRUCTURES UNDER MONOTONIC AND SEISMIC LOADS
(2011)
Since the beginning of this PhD research, the author has endeavored to determine how to resolve the issues involving steel congestion in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Three potential solutions to this problem were ...
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY OF CONCRETE SLABS ON GRADE
(2011)
Drying shrinkage is one of the major causes of cracking in concrete slabs on grade. The moisture difference between the top and bottom surface of the slabs causes a dimensional or "shrinkage" gradient to develop through ...
A SUGGESTED DESIGN APPROACH FOR BUILT-UP COLD-FORMED COLUMNS BASED ON RESEARCH USING NONLINEAR FINITE ELEMENT METHOD
(2011)
A deficiency of the 2007 AISI specification, Sections C4 and D1.2 for built-up, coldformed
Advances using the ADCIRC hydrodynamic model: Parameter estimation and aspects of coupled hydrologic-hydrodynamic flood inundation modeling
(2011)
The ADCIRC hydrodynamic model has been used extensively for coastal modeling applications over the last twenty years. Within the last decade, modeling of hurricane storm surge has become one of its principal applications. ...
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY OF CONCRETE SLABS ON GRADE
(2011)
Drying shrinkage is one of the major causes of cracking in concrete slabs on grade. The moisture difference between the top and bottom surface of the slabs causes a dimensional or "shrinkage" gradient to develop through ...
EVALUATION OF RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF ASPHALT BINDERS FOR PAVEMENT DESIGN APPLICATIONS
(2011)
More that 90% of the total paved roadways in the U.S. are asphalt concrete (AC) pavements. The annual expenditures for construction and maintenance of these pavements exceed $10 billion. To reduce these maintenance costs, ...
A LABORATORY INVESTIGATION AND MODELING OF DYNAMIC MODULUS OF ASPHALT MIXES FOR PAVEMENT APPLICATIONS
(2011)
Traditionally, stiffness of hot mix asphalt (HMA) has been used as a measure of the pavement's ability to carry vehicular traffic loads without undergoing excessive deformation. Early deterioration of pavements due to ...
