The Effect Of Displacement Control Loading Histories On Genral Connecting Surfaces Using Finite Element Analysis
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Displacement loading history provided by the AISC Seismic Provision 2002 is commonly used for experimental testing and analytical modeling of beam-to-column steel connection to stimulate the seismic effect. However, the ...
Failure Analysis Of A Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Wall Using Finite Element Program Plaxis
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining walls have been increasingly used in many federal, state and private projects over the last 20 years. MSE walls are reliable, constructible, and cost effective. However, failure ...
Construction Cost Of Underground Infrastructure
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Renewal of aging underground infrastructure is a major challenge that municipalities inNorth America face every day. Traditional replacement or renewal of these underground utilitiesuses open-cut excavation methods that ...
Clay Mineral Quantification Using Gravemetric Analysis
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The current procedure used by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to determine the type of stabilizer is based mainly on the Plasticity Index (PI) and the gradation of the soil. This method of stabilization does ...
Measured And Theoretical Response Of Perpetual Pavement Structures
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The Kansas Perpetual Pavement experiment includes the construction of four pavement sections on the US-75 highway designed according to the perpetual pavement concept. The sections were instrumented with strain gauges and ...
Development Of Brownfield Database Using GIS
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Brownfields are abandoned, idled or underutilized industrial or commercial sites where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by actual or perceived environmental contamination. Brownfields may be as small as a vacant ...
Applications Of GIS For Mapping And Tracking Underground Infrastructure
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The main objective of this research is to apply Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for construction and renewal of underground infrastructures. As a first step, a suitability analysis to determine location of existing ...
Comparative Damage Of Different Truck Configurations On Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
This study estimated the damage done by trucks with 35 different configurations on a typical structure of a Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement. The configurations were proposed by New York Department of Transportation, the ...
Performance Of Large Scale Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Deep Beam With Single Opening Under Monotonic Loading
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The design of complex, discontinuous stress trajectory regions (D-regions) is complex in natureand cumbersome to design. The performance of a large scale steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC)deep beam with single opening ...
Capacity Of Two-sided Type C On Freeway With Four Lanes
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Weaving segments are categorized based on weaving length, configuration, number of lanes, free flow speed and weaving ratio. All these parameters affect weaving capacity. One of the objectives of this research was to extend ...
