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: 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: 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 ...

Abstract: Currently, two methods are available for the design of reinforced concrete pipes:

Abstract: Maintenance of existing structures requires a solid understanding of their structural behavior and their varying geometry, boundary conditions, and load cases. For the case of the masonry arches, this understanding is still ...
