Abstract: This study was concerned with vibrations induced during drilled shaft construction on green concrete in adjacent drilled shafts. To characterize the types of vibrations, a full-scale field test was conducted using a 0.9-m ...

Abstract: Aluminum screen enclosures suffer from significant damage in hurricanes. In an attempt to identify ways to minimize the damage to screen enclosures, experimental investigations were conducted to study how screen enclosures ...

Abstract: The use of mathematical software packages provides a number of benefits to an engineering user. In general, the packages provide a platform that supports iterative design and parametric analysis through a flexible, transparent ...

Abstract: Out-of-plane stresses due to the wedging effect of the strands caused high stress concentration at the end of the transition zone of Florida bulbtee girders. Adding the hydrostatic stresses due to grout pressure in the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results from a study on the deterioration patterns of highway bridges, using estimated sojourn times of bridge components in various deterioration states (condition). With emphasis on the age that ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted on a large bore, medium speed, single cylinder, diesel engine to investigate operation with substitution ratio of natural gas (NG) varying from 0% to 93% by energy. In a previous study by the ...

Abstract: Metal-plated wood truss systems may be rained upon during the construction phase, resulting in the soaking of the connections. In this paper, the results of an investigation of the behavior of metal-plated wood joints ...

Abstract: A computerized information system has been developed for the management of field data on vehicle impacts with crash attenuators. The system has been developed for an intranet platform with a Java-based interface. A central ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of impact tests on a roof system constructed with expanded metal mesh welded to a steel frame. The roof system was designed to be installed on a masonry structure that will protect an emergency ...

Abstract: In an earlier publication (Jupudi et al., 2016, “Application of High Performance Computing for Simulating Cycle-to-Cycle Variation in Dual-Fuel Combustion Engines,” SAE Paper No. 2016-01-0798), the authors compared numerical ...
