Rehabilitation of reinforced concrete slab-column connections for two-way shear
(2006)
Even though a reinforced concrete flat-plate structural system is an
economical structural system, it is prone to brittle shear failure at slab-column
connections, which may result in the progressive collapse of a building. ...
Impact of bromide, NOM, and prechlorination on haloamine formation, speciation, and decay during chloramination
(2009-12)
The Chlorine-Ammonia Process was developed recently as a preoxidation process to minimize the formation of bromate during ozonation of the waters containing a significant bromide concentration. Chlorine is added first, ...
Building disinfection chemistry: heterogeneous consumption of gaseous disinfecting agents and resulting by-product formation
(2006)
This study focused on the chemistry that occurs during building disinfection
using ozone, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide vapor, and methyl bromide.
Experiments were performed in small chambers to determine disinfectant ...
Development of a direct test method for dynamically assessing the liquefaction resistance of soils in situ
(2006)
This dissertation details work conducted by researchers from the University
of Texas at Austin aimed toward the development and implementation of a new
in-situ liquefaction testing technique. This technique is an active ...
Mechanistic-empirical study of effects of truck tire pressure on asphalt pavement performance
(2005)
Truck tire inflation pressures have steadily increased in the recent decades. A most
apparent effect of the increased tire pressure would be reduction in the tire-pavement
contact area, which may in turn result in an ...
GIS for large-scale watershed observational data model
(2005)
Because integrated management of a river basin requires the development
of models that are used for many purposes, e.g., to assess risks and possible
mitigation of droughts and floods, manage water rights, assess water ...
Non-destructive evaluation of gravity load carrying capacity and lateral load damage of reinforced concrete slab-column connections
(2006)
The objective of this study was to develop a procedure to quantify the load
carrying capacity of a slab-column connection as a function of the structural
damage. To fulfill this objective, guidelines for damage assessment ...
