RISThe Effects of Assimilation on the Physics of an Ocean Model. Part II: Baroclinic Identical-Twin Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Part I has shown that a simple assimilation scheme can have a significant effect on the physics of the model. Part II concentrates on the effects of nudging assimilation in a full primitive equation model, the Free Surface ...
Mechanistic Deterioration Modeling for Bridge Design and Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The combination of continued highway bridge aging and constrained maintenance, repair, and replacement budgets create the pressing need to develop strategies to allocate available management resources most effectively. ...
Case Study on Rapid Scanning Techniques for Concrete Bridge Decks with Asphalt Overlay: Ground-Penetrating Radar and Infrared Thermography
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Evaluating the Long-Term Durability of Externally Bonded FRP via Field Assessments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRP) are an attractive repair option for reinforced concrete structures, but whereas laboratory durability tests have indicated that FRP generally performs well in many environments, ...
Effect of Existing Structure and FRP Uncertainties on the Reliability of FRP-Based Repair
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has been successfully implemented to repair existing RC structures. Previous studies on the development of a reliability-based design method for externally bonded FRP have ...
Evaluation of Pull-Off Tests as a FRP–Concrete Bond Testing Method in the Laboratory and Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The direct tension pull-off test has gained popularity as a test method used in the laboratory and especially in the field to assess the quality of bond between externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) repair ...
Using Concrete Service Life Prediction Software to Enhance Durability and Reduce Cost in Precast Parking Garage Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Parking garages are unique building structures in that they are often open to the environment and exposed to deicing chemicals, making them susceptible to deterioration, particularly through the corrosion of reinforcing ...
The Effects of Assimilation on the Physics of an Ocean Model. Part I: Theoretical Model and Barotropic Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although data assimilation is now an established oceanographic technique, little work has been done on the interaction of the assimilation scheme and the physics of the underlying model. The way in which even a simple ...
A Comparison of in Situ, Reanalysis, and Satellite Water Budgets over the Upper Colorado River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing in situ, reanalysis, and satellite-derived datasets, surface and atmospheric water budgets of the Upper Colorado River basin are analyzed. All datasets capture the seasonal cycle for each water budget component. For ...
Approach-Span Failure of the Hoan Bridge as a Case Study for Engineering Students and Practicing Engineers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: On the morning of December 13, 2000, all three steel girders in a three-girder approach span of the Hoan Bridge in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, fractured. Two of the three girders had a fracture propagate completely through the ...
