Design Guidance for Installing Vibration Sensitive Equipment in Industrial Facilities
(2016-08)
The need to understand floor vibrations in an industrial facility has increased in recent years as the drive for tighter manufacturing tolerances has increased. This drive has led to an increase in manufacturing equipment ...
RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYMER AND RAP MODIFIED ASPHALT BINDERS USING MULTIPLE STRESS CREEP AND RECOVERY METHOD
(2016-12)
In recent years, asphalt modifications have become increasingly popular in asphalt pavement construction. Also, in view of technical, environmental and economic benefits, the pavement industry is in favor of using high ...
EFFECTS OF SEISMIC LOADING ON OKLAHOMA HIGHWAY BRIDGES
(2016)
Since 2006, the number of magnitude (M) 3.0 and larger earthquakes occurring in Oklahoma
has increased dramatically. Large magnitude (> 5:0) events have caused damage
to residential structures, which raises a concern ...
Performance of Fiber-Reinforced Eco-Friendly Concrete for Bridge Structures
(2016-08-12)
Concrete is the leading building material in the world due to its readily available materials, strength, durability, and relatively low cost. With cities growing at a more rapid pace, the demand for concrete is increasing. ...
Investigation of the Effects of End Region Deterioration in Precast, Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders
(2016)
An important factor in life expectancy of concrete bridges is the effect of corrosion of reinforcing steel on concrete and appurtenant embedded materials. New bridges, though continuously exposed to the elements, are ...
The Performance of Cement-Limiting and High-Volume Recycled Material Mix Designs for Use in Concrete Pavements Through Laboratory and Field Implementation Testing
(2016-05)
Conventional methods of replacing roadways are beginning to negatively impact the environment. The continued use of high volumes of cement will continue to exacerbate the increasing levels of carbon dioxide. In addition ...
The Effect of the Antibacterial Handsoap Matrix on the Kinetics of Triclosan Dissolution from Sand
(2016-12-16)
Triclosan (5-Chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol) is present in many common household products. Most notably, triclosan, is an active ingredient in disinfecting hand soaps, cosmetics, and dental products because of its ...
Development Length of 0.6 in. Prestressing Strands in Precast, Prestressed Calcium Sulfoaluminate Cement Concrete
(2016-12-16)
Calcium sulfoaluminate cement is a very rapid setting, hydraulic cement that releases
approximately half as much carbon dioxide during production as conventional portland
cement. Calcium sulfoaluminate cement produces ...
QUANTIFYING HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY IN MINE DRAINAGE PASSIVE TREATMENT SYSTEM VERTICAL FLOW BIOREACTORS
(2016-12)
Heavy industrial mining has occurred in the United States for more than 100 years, and in many cases, has led to large-scale environmental degradation, especially from historical operations where mining occurred prior to ...
Validation of Portable Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence (PHXRF) on Stabilized Subgrade Projects for Construction Quality Control and Geotechnical Forensic Investigations
(2016-05-13)
Problematic subgrade soils are often strengthened through pozzolanic reactions and/or cementing using various types of chemical stabilizers, such as lime, cement kiln dust, and fly ash. The amount of stabilizer needed for ...
