Abstract: Although pressure grouting beneath the tips of drilled shafts had been used successfully worldwide for close to

Abstract: The damping associated with dynamic or statnamic tests has typically been over simplified to provide a “catch-all” factor for those responses that could not be fully accounted for using present analyses. This factor has ...

Abstract: This paper presents an overview of a demonstration project in which corroding prestressed piles located in tidal waters were wrapped underwater using carbon and glass fiber-reinforced polymer material. An innovative ...

Abstract: Vacuum bagging and pressure bagging are established techniques used by the composites industry for fabricating components. This paper describes a study that explored the adaptation of these techniques for improving the ...

Abstract: This paper presents results from a multiyear study to evaluate the role of prewrap substrate preparation on corrosion mitigation in a marine environment. Seventeen one-third scale prestressed piles were corroded to 20% ...
