A Model Study of the End Bearing Capacity of Piles in Layered Calcareous Soils (Civil Project)
The results of a series of over 120 model tests to study the end bearing capacity of piles in layered calcareous soils are Continue reading
Shear Capacity of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Beams without Conventional Shear Reinforcement (Civil Project)
While the increase in shear strength of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is well recognized, it has yet to be found common application of this material in Continue reading
Development of Materials Supply System Requirements (Mechanical Project)
In industry today, the need for excellent product development and realization in many different aspects is increasing. This calls for excellent quality, while at the Continue reading
Dynamic Analysis of the Baozhusi Dam Using FEM (Civil Project)
High magnitude earthquakes have devastating effects that leads to severe human and material losses; when affecting concrete gravity dams, seisms devastate the surrounding habitat through sudden release of Continue reading
Potential Use of Natural Red Mud as Pozzolan for Portland Cement (Civil Project)
Red mud, the main waste generated in aluminum and alumina production by the Bayer process, is considered hazardous due to its high pH, according to the Continue reading
Design of an Earthquake Proof One Family House: A house in alternative Construction Material, made for slum areas in Medellin, Colombia (Civil/Mechanical Project)
One of mankind’s most important needs is the need for shelter. All around the world people live in lack of this basic need. Colombia is a South American country heavily burdened by Continue reading
Assessment of Design Procedures for Structural Glass Beams (Civil Project)
In structural design, ductile materials are usually preferred, because failure is rarely sudden and catastrophic. Once the material has yielded, large observable strains will occur Continue reading
Aspects of Structural Design With Glass (Civil Project)
Glass is being increasingly used as a structural material. In particular, its favorable aesthetic qualities have made it popular with Continue reading
Earthquake Resistant Wooden House (Civil Project)
Wood-stud shear walls are commonly used to provide lateral stability against horizontal forces in wood houses. Therefore, accurate predictions of the deformation properties of shear walls are Continue reading
Catalog of Material Properties for Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design (Civil Project)
The new pavement design methodology is based on mechanistic-empirical principles that are expected to be used in parallel with and eventually replace the Continue reading
Finite Element Studies of Reinforced and Unreinforced Two-layer Soil Systems (Civil Project)
The purpose of this study is to obtain an insight into the mechanisms by which a geosynthetic membrane influences the performance of Continue reading
