Tension bolt behavior in moment connections for seismic applications
(1996)
Recent seismic events such as the Northridge earthquake have left behind, along with destruction serious doubts about the performance of the welded moment connection, until now the most popular and reliable steel beam-column ...
Effect of coarse aggregate characteristics on hardened properties of concrete
(1993)
The effects of coarse aggregate properties and characteristics on the properties of hardened concrete were examined in this experimental program. Tests were performed to determine effects on modulus of elasticity, compressive ...
Solidification/stabilization of contaminated spent blasting media in Portland cement concretes and mortars
(1992)
The use of abrasive blasting to remove paint containing lead, cadmium, and chromium from steel bridges is producing contaminated spent blasting media which may be classified as hazardous by the Environmental Protection ...
Impact of aggregate gradation and type on asphalt mixture characteristics
(1990)
This thesis addresses the impact of aggregate gradation and type on Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete (HMAC) characteristics. Several different, but related topics are covered and results from several experiments are presented. ...
Turbulence measurements in a meandering laboratory river channel
(1993)
Measurements of turbulence characteristics were performed in a laboratory meandering river channel. The measurements were performed using a single hot-film anemometer at five sections beginning from the apex of the first ...
Measurements of intact and cracked concrete structural elements by the SASW method
(1994)
Research was conducted to apply the Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves (SASW) method to the identification of internal cracking in concrete structural elements such as beams and columns. The SASW method is a nondestructive ...
Turbulence measurements in open-channel flow with transverse bed slope
(1992)
In a meandering river, both the bends and the transverse bed slopes influence the turbulence in the flow. As part of a research project to study the turbulence characteristics in a meandering laboratory river channel, ...
