Abstract: A model to predict the bone stiffness is presented in this paper. The objective is to obtain a description of bone stiffness of a representative elementary volume (REV) based on a small set ...

Abstract: The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether simplified blast loading together with a pier-bent model could be employed to reveal the main damage mechanisms of typical highway bridges subjected to blast ...

Abstract: Aggregate morphological characteristics can play an important role in aggregate resistance to polishing and degradation. The Aggregate Imaging System (AIMS) has been one of the most widely used instruments for aggregate-property ...

Abstract: Although accurate evaluation of pavement friction promises significant safety benefits to highway agencies, the development of such models has proven to be challenging due to the lack of complete and quality pavement surface ...
