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, […]
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 […]
Presentation Rock Failure Process Analysis A major difficulty in studying the fracture mechanisms for rock subjected to various loads is the fact that rock is a natural, composite material which […]
Presentation Long-term Bond Characteristics of the Interface Between Substrate and Shotcrete Overlay Shotcrete is becoming popular for vertical and overhead applications where conventional formwork and repairs are difficult and costly. […]
