Abstract: Transverse shear force effects on the stress and strain distributions of post‐tensioned, rectangular, concrete anchorage blocks were studied, for both concentrically and eccentrically prestressed anchorage zones. From the ...

Abstract: The empirical results of a test program studying the effects of rectilinear confinement in high‐strength concrete subjected to a monotonically increasing compressive axial load was reported. Twentyfour columns made of ...

Abstract: Extensive testing of control specimens and large‐scale models of high‐strength concrete composite beams, 3,048‐mm (10‐ft) length, reinforced with pre‐stressed prisms, have resulted in deformation readings that are consistent ...

Abstract: The physical processes governing moisture transport in solid waste landfills are analyzed by the theory of unsaturated flow through homogeneous porous media and experimental work. A laboratory column was constructed and ...

Abstract: The design of environmentally sound bottom leachate collection systems for solid waste landfills has become a crucial engineering task due to the increased ground‐water contamination from such sites. Analysis of the ...
