Abstract: Core extraction is the most common method for measuring concrete layer thickness in pavement construction. Although this method provides a very accurate thickness measurement, it is destructive, time-consuming, and does ...

Abstract: This paper presents the recent experimental findings related to mechanical properties of compressed cement-stabilized earth blocks (CSEBs), prepared using indigenous soil from Hamilton County in Nebraska (United States) ...

Abstract: The aim of this article is to introduce and discuss prediction power of the multiple regression technique, artificial neural network (ANN), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system (ANFIS) methods for predicting the forced ...

Abstract: A half-scale physical model of a thin-tile masonry dome designed by Rafael Guastavino, Jr. that is located in the Nebraska State Capitol Building is constructed and tested both nondestructively and destructively to determine ...

Abstract: AbstractAmong the main reasons for project failures and disputes are design errors that, in contrast to construction defects, originate from the professional planning stage. This study aims to identify the most frequent ...

Abstract: Availability of material as well as biological properties of native tissues is critical for biomaterial design and synthesis for regenerative engineering. Until recently, selection of biomaterials and biomolecule carriers ...

Abstract: Two methods for strengthening two-way reinforced concrete floor slabs subjected to out-of-plane bending loads are compared through experiments on seven test specimens and subsequent analyses. The seven test specimens were ...
