Abstract: Recent experience has demonstrated that concrete dams designed with traditional procedures may be vulnerable to damage from excessive tensile stresses. Presence of these tensile stresses and the determination of risk level ...

Abstract: A laboratory study was undertaken to evaluate the in situ performance of self-compacting concrete (SCC) compared to a conventional compacted concrete (CCC) of similar strength in reinforced concrete T-beams. As an additional ...

Abstract: Various prediction models have been developed to predict the creep and shrinkage in concrete. Experimental studies to measure the creep and shrinkage in concrete have also been carried out by researchers and reported in ...

Abstract: An increase in the number of distressed bridges and the limited financial resources emphasize the need for an efficient bridge management system (BMS) for India. Assessment of the remaining life of bridges becomes an ...

Abstract: The Soil Conservation Service curve number (SCS-CN) method is a well-recognized technique for the estimation of direct surface runoff from a rainfall event. Most of the recently developed SCS-CN–based models including the ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present an integrated collaborative modular architecture method for medical device design and development. The methodology is focused on analyzing the input of stakeholder data ...

Abstract: A strain rate dependent material model for concrete has been proposed for analysis of three-dimensional reinforced concrete structures under transient dynamic loading. The model takes into account the pressure sensitivity ...

Abstract: The objectives of this study were to determine a suitable set of tests to use with a moisture-conditioning process and to develop a machine learning model to predict the moisture susceptibility of hot mix asphalt. ...
