Evaluation of Specialized Concretes for the Repair of Damaged Continuity Joints in Prestressed Girder Bridges
(2021)
Precast, prestressed concrete simple span girder bridges made continuous through the use of continuity joints exhibit a great, structural advantage when dealing with additional dead and live loading across the deck. ...
Evaluating the Effects of Vegetation Cover and Phenology on the Components of the Surface Energy Fluxes, Soil Temperature and its Damping Depth, Soil Moisture and the Partitioning of the Evapotranspiration Across Forest, Grassland and Desert Ecosystems
(2020)
The understanding and modeling of the effects of land-cover change on the behaviors of evapotranspiration flux and its partitioning, soil moisture, soil temperature, and surface energy fluxes which include ground heat flux, ...
Laboratory study of durability of recycled concrete aggregate including drainage for use in pavement base course
(2023)
Recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) have been used as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly material in pavement base construction for quite some time. However, there is a lack of information on the durability, ...
Mechanical performance of post-tensioned residential foundation slabs using expansive BCSA cements
(2023-05-12)
Recent research in concrete materials and structural behavior has focused on alternative cements to increase sustainability as cement manufacturing is a leading producer of CO2 emissions. One promising alternative is calcium ...
Real-Time Hybrid Simulation Study of a Rolling Pendulum Equipment Isolation System
(2021-05-14)
Damage caused by earthquakes to buildings and their contents (e.g., sensitive equipment) can impact life safety and disrupt business operations following an event. The resulting social and economic losses can be minimized, ...
Investigation of flexural behavior of reinforced concrete with 3D printed glass fiber reinforced polymer
(2022)
More than 40 years of Fiber Reinforced Polymers in Civil Engineering has shown the widespread use and advantages of these unique composites. FRP composites are high strength, lightweight, corrosion resistant materials that ...
Effect of Curing Temperature on Nanomodified Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
(2023-12-15)
Dispersion of pristine and functionalized-COOH carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into the resin matrix used to develop fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is known to improve FRP properties such as shear strength, UV resistance, ...
Temporal and Spatial Variations in Sediment Trace Metal Concentrations in Streams, Rivers, and a Reservoir near a Derelict Lead-Zinc Mining District
(2021-05)
Historic lead and zinc mining in the Tri-State Mining District has ceased, but the legacy of
trace metal contamination (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) throughout the region still exists. This thesis
focuses on stream sediments ...
Developing a Water Balance Model to Estimate Consumptive Use in the Southeast Watershed Planning Region of Oklahoma
(2020-05-08)
With the passage of the Water for 2060 Act, Oklahoma established a statewide goal of consuming no more freshwater in 2060 than was consumed in 2012. However, there currently does not exist a quantifiable method to estimate ...
Assessment of ultra-high-performance-concrete (UHPC) properties using different fibers
(2022-08)
Ultra-high-performance-concrete (UHPC) is a cementitious material with a high compressive strength, densely packed structure resulting in near zero permeability, small crack opening, and significant post-cracking tensile ...
