Presentation Sustainability is key to building a brighter future for our families and our communities. What we do today affects tomorrow. This presentation covers the three pillars of sustainability, and provides principles of resilience to support our efforts to build a sustainable infrastructure. In terms of environmental sustainability, this means being conscious of our world […]
Presentation Post-Earthquake Assessment of Bridge Columns Using AI Enabled Computer Vision Modern seismic design codes ensure a large displacement capacity and prevent total collapse for bridges. However, this performance objective is usually attained at the cost of damage to target ductile members. For reinforced concrete (RC) bridges, the columns are usually the main source of […]
Presentation Carbon-Fiber Tape Based Electrical Deicing System: Experiments, Field Performance and Application Issues In cold regions, snow and ice cause serious safety problems to the transportation system. Southcentral Alaska, particularly, Anchorage, is susceptible to a large number of icing events due to frequent freeze and thaw cycles in the winter season. Icing on pavement and […]
Presentation Recent Advances in Measuring Volume of Soil Specimen in Triaxial Testing Triaxial tests have been widely used for measuring the stress-strain behavior of both saturated and unsaturated soils. Volume/displacement measurement is an indispensable component of the triaxial testing. This paper provides a state-of-the-art review on the existing methods to measure volume change and/or displacement […]
