RISStructural Evaluation and Construction of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites Strengthening Systems for the Sauvie Island Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a multiphase project aimed at developing composite systems for flexural capacity upgrade of steel girders. This study is divided into three phases; namely (1) large-scale verifications ...
Structural Behavior and Design of Recycled LDPE-FRP Hybrid Beams for Bridge Collision Protection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract The paper summarizes results of a pilot study that evaluates both the service and
ultimate short-term behavior of hybrid beams made of recycled low-density polyethylene
(LDPE) plastic matrix and reinforced with ...
Performance Assessment of Steel Moment-Resisting Frame Structures Using Fragility Methodology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a probabilistic study using the fragility function method for the performance assessment of two 1/6-scale, single-bay, three- and eight-story steel moment-resisting frame structures representing rigid ...
Impact of Polypropylene Application Method on Long-Term Aging of Polypropylene-Modified HMA
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effect of polypropylene application method on long-term aging of hot mix asphalt (HMA) was investigated. Three different application methods were considered within this paper, namely, the coating method (where aggregate ...
Effect of Low-Density Polyethylene on Fracture Toughness of Asphalt Concrete Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research used laboratory evaluations to study the effect of using low-density polyethylene (LDPE) additive on the fracture toughness of asphalt concrete mixtures. LDPE was mixed with asphalt at
Analytical Land–Atmosphere Radiometer Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Conversion of radiometric land surface temperature (?r) to an equivalent isothermal (aerodynamic) surface temperature (?i) is important in balancing the land surface energy budget with satellite-based ?r measurements. An ...
Housing Quality: Implications for Design and Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study analyzes a broad range of data in Jordan on people’s housing and customer attitudes using a questionnaire to measure the factors that influence people’s choice of housing and to decide upon the choice that best ...
A Closed-Form Solution for Coarse Registration of Point Clouds Using Linear Features
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a closed-form procedure for the coarse registration of three-dimensional (3D) point clouds using automatically extracted linear features, which have been manually matched. Corresponding linear features ...
