Incentive-based travel demand management strategies are gaining increasing attention as they are generally considered more acceptable by the traveling public and policymakers. There is limited evidence on the impacts of ...

Recent studies show that issues related to utilities are among the top impediments for timely completion of highway projects. As the transportation infrastructure projects are in major swing, conflicts between the utility ...

Double-angle web shear connections are commonly used in steel gravity framing, and they are usually idealized as pinned connections during analysis. The nonlinear behavior of these connections has been studied during the ...

This work focuses on the study of flow around cylinder with both Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experiment and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. PIV measurements of the flow field at the downstream of the ...

As concrete infrastructure ages or is re-purposed, there is an increasing need for efficient retrofit solutions, with deficient lap splices being one of many research areas. A possible method to increase the capacity of ...

A new methodology is presented to construct reliable river channel cross section approximations. These approximations are based on the idea of downstream hydraulic geometry as well as supported by the information collected ...

Though uniform loading is common in structures, the vast majority of all shear strength tests on slender reinforced concrete members without stirrups have been performed using concentrated loading. Furthermore, the uniform ...

Robust self-healing concrete, which requires less maintenance and repair throughout its service life than ordinary concrete, can be used for the development of sustainable infrastructure. Li and Herbert stated that a true ...

Expansive clays are very abundant across the central United States in general and in the state of Texas in particular damages induced by expansive clays have been reported to reach several billions of dollars per year. ...

Alternative delivery methods for transportation infrastructure projects, besides the traditional Design-Bid-Build (DBB) approach, have been implemented by private and public sectors since the last decades. The Texas ...
