Application of basalt fiber reinforced polymer rebar for prestressed concrete beams
Somatri, Wassime (2022-08)All steel reinforced concrete infrastructure that is facing a chemical environment and corrosion will have their service life greatly reduced. With time it will lead to a premature and an inevitable failure of the steel ... -
Assessing Impact of Climate Change on Oklahoma Bridge Deck and Superstructure Deterioration using National Bridge Inventory Data
Kesiraju, Ashwin (2017-05-13)Bridge deterioration is a prominent problem in the United States. Bridge deck and superstructure elements are often exposed to harsh conditions and their performance is critical in the overall sufficiency of a bridge. Many ... -
Design of Precast Post-tensioned Slabs using Lightweight Concrete for Residential Foundations
Siri, Bruno (2024-05-10)The use of precast concrete in construction is highly favored due to its many benefits, including improved quality control, reduced construction time, increased durability, and sustainability. In Oklahoma, post-tensioned ... -
Evaluating the Performance of a Nonlinear Dual-Mode Vibration Isolator/Absorber System
Bin, Puthynan (2021)During the event of an earthquake, motion-sensitive equipment inside a building can be protected from seismic disturbance using a floor isolation system (FIS). Its behaviour is assumed linear when it displaces within the ... -
EVALUATION OF HOLLOW-CORE-FRP-CONCRETE-STEEL COLUMN AND FOOTING CONNECTION
Yadak, Omar (2024-05-10)Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) has recently gained popularity among state departments of transportation to minimize construction costs, time and waste, and optimize the use of materials. This research focused on the ... -
Evaluation of Rolling-Type Isolation Systems for Seismic Hazard Mitigation
Calhoun, Skylar Josef (2018-08)Nonstructural components within mission-critical facilities such as hospitals and telecommunication facilities are vital to a community's resilience when subjected to a seismic event. Building contents like medical and ... -
Evaluation of Surface Preparation and Bond Angle Combinations for Joint Replacement using Ultra-High Performance Concrete
Funderburg, Chandler K. (2018-05-12)Deterioration of bridges is often attributed to declining performance of the longitudinal connections between precast members or transverse deck joints. Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a cementitious composite ... -
Performance of Multi-Hazard-Resistant Hollow-Core FRP-Concrete-Steel Columns with High-Strength SCC or UHPC
Milner, Jackson C. (2023-12-15)The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and state departments of transportation (DOTs) are actively promoting accelerated bridge construction (ABC) to minimize construction costs by reducing construction time, which in ... -
Tensile Behavior of Ultra-High Performance Concrete Under Direct Tension
Lepissier, Kevin (2020-07-30)Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a product that has improved mechanistic properties as compared to traditional concrete and is defined by the Federal Highway Administrations (FHWA) as having a post-cracking tensile ...
