RISConnection of Concrete Railing Post and Bridge Deck with Internal FRP Reinforcement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement is a practical alternative to conventional steel bars in concrete bridge decks, safety appurtenances, and connections thereof, as it eliminates corrosion of the steel ...
Carbon Neutral Off-White Rice Husk Ash as a Partial White Cement Replacement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Large amounts of rice husk ash (RHA) are produced every year worldwide, and difficulties related to its disposal may cause this product to become an environmental hazard. Owing to its high amorphous silica content, RHA has ...
Novel Test Method for Ultimate Hoop-Strain Characterization in FRP Jackets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates is an effective solution to increase the strength and deformability of reinforced concrete columns. A critical parameter in predicting the ultimate ...
Corrosion Damage Quantification of Prestressing Strands Using Acoustic Emission
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Steel degradation due to corrosion in prestressed concrete bridges has been of major concern as it presents a threat to the integrity of structures adjacent to marine environments or where deicing salts are regularly used. ...
Distributed Strain Measurement in Steel Bridge with Fiber Optic Sensors: Validation through Diagnostic Load Test
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber optic sensing technologies are emerging as valid alternatives for the health monitoring of civil structures. Distributed sensors based on Brillouin scattering add the unique capability of measuring strain and temperature ...
Tornado-Resistant Residential Design Using Experimentally Obtained Characteristic Strength Values for Cement-Stabilized Earthen Masonry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Compressed and stabilized earthen masonry (CSEM) offers a sustainable, affordable, and locally appropriate alternative to traditional residential construction. It provides a method that can enable the community to solve ...

Homogeneity and Isotropy of Compressed and Stabilized Earth Block Material: Mechanical Characterization and Statistical Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Compressed and stabilized earth block (CSEB) masonry is a locally appropriate alternative for low-rise dwellings that offers attractive affordability, sustainability, and durability features. From a designer’s perspective, ...
Early Corrosion Detection in Prestressed Concrete Girders Using Acoustic Emission
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Long-term corrosion tests were performed on prestressed T-girders measuring 4.98 m (16 ft, 4 in.). The test program was composed of four specimens, including one control. The specimens were subjected to wet/dry cycles using ...
Acoustic Emission Damage Assessment of Steel/CFRP Bonds for Rehabilitation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of adhesively bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates is increasingly being considered for the rehabilitation of metallic structures. The effective structural monitoring of steel/CFRP adhesive joints ...
