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 ...
Evaluation of Rolling-Type Isolation Systems for Seismic Hazard Mitigation
(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 ...
Incorporating Grillage Model Derived Load Distribution Factors Into Ratings of Prestressed Concrete Bridges
(2018-05)
Characterization and evaluation of bridges is a laborious task. A large number of bridges in Oklahoma are potentially deficient for shear due to differences between the current codes and those used to design the bridges. ...
Infrastructure damage due to earthquakes and flooding in the Little River Watershed: a HAZUS investigation
(2023-08-04)
The Socially Sustainable Solutions for Water, Carbon, and Infrastructure Resilience in Oklahoma (S3OK) is a multidisciplinary research project to identify socially sustainable solutions to “wicked” problems within the State ...
Study On The Use Of Facemask Fibers For Soil Reinforcement
(2023-12-15)
This study investigated the potential application of facemask materials as a sustainable solution for soil reinforcement, with a focus on assessing the influence of facemask fiber attributes on the geotechnical properties ...
Design of Continuity Connections for Precast, Pretensioned Girders Using Ultra-High Performance Concrete
(2023-05-12)
In recent years, an increased desire to improve the durability and resiliency of bridges has become an important consideration in design. Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a relatively new cementitious composite ...
Feasibility of Blast Furnace Slag for Stabilizing Sulfate-Bearing Soil
(2023-12-15)
Calcium-based stabilizers are frequently used by The Oklahoma Department of
Transportation (ODOT) to enhance the strength and reduce the swelling potential of fine-grained
soils. However, these stabilizers can lead to ...
TOTAL WATER LEVEL MODELING IN THE NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL PLAIN: COMPARING ADCIRC AND HEC-RAS
(2017-12-15)
The purpose of this Master’s thesis was to develop and compare an ADCIRC and ADCIRC/HEC-RAS paired model for the purpose of total water level forecasting using the Tar River and Pamlico Sound area as a test case. ADCIRC ...
EVALUATION OF HOLLOW-CORE-FRP-CONCRETE-STEEL COLUMN AND FOOTING CONNECTION
(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 ...
