Beneficial Reuse of Baltimore Dredged Sediments as Vertical Cutoff Wall Backfill Material (Civil Project)
Dredged sediments are obtained from the process of dredging coastal areas and harbors in order to maintain navigable waterways. This study focuses on the potential of using Continue reading
Parametric Study of Bridge Response to High Speed Trains, Ballasted Track on Concrete Bridges (Civil Project)
When a train enters a bridge, passenger sitting inside will feel a sudden bump in the track, which not only affect the riding comfort of the passengers but also put a dynamic impact on the Continue reading
Embedded Strain Sensor with Power Scavenging from Bridge Vibration (Civil Project)
The objective of this study is to investigate an embedded strain sensor system with power scavenged from highway bridge vibration for structure health monitoring. A power scavenging scheme is developed to Continue reading
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
Design of inter-component load-bearing connections in prefabricated single-family houses (Civil Project)
For the transfer of horizontal loads acting on a timber building the connections between the prefabricated timber elements play an important role. In this work the standard wall-to-substrate, wall-to-wall, wall-to-flooring/flooring-to-wall and roof-to-wall connections of Continue reading
Fly Ash Soil Stabilization for Non-uniform Subgrade Soil (Civil Project)
ABSTRACT:
To provide insight into subgrade non-uniformity and its effects on pavement performance, this study investigated the influence of non-uniform subgrade Continue reading
Communication in Mega-projects: The Consultant’s Perspective (Civil Project)
Today’s large-scale construction projects for can easily be mistaken for a regular project but with an increase in size and cost. However, as projects surpass a point where one manager cannot single handily control the project, conditions change. Many may refer to this as the point when one 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
The Coal Powered Electricity Market in China (Civil Project)
China is rich in coal resources, possessing as much as 13 percent of world’s coal reserves.With a vital role in domestic economic development, coal contributes to 70 percent of national energy needs. China’s power industry mainly depends on Continue reading
Enhanced Polymer Nanocomposites for Condition Assessment of Wind Turbine Blades (Civil Project)
ABSTRACT
Damages in composite components of wind turbine blades and large-scale structures can lead to increase in maintenance and repair costs, inoperability, and structural failure. The vast majority of condition assessment of composite structures Continue reading
Contractual Approaches to Address Geotechnical Uncertainty in Design-Build Public Transportation Projects (Civil Project)
ABSTRACT
Geotechnical uncertainty may be the most difficult risk to manage in construction. In Design- Build (DB), where the project’s price is fixed before design and in many cases the subsurface investigation is complete, the risk profile is fundamentally Continue reading
