(2014-12-09)A precast prestressed concrete girder using in-span splices to extend the span length is constructed to investigate performance under service and ultimate load conditions. Continuity is provided through the splices by a ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures results in significant repair and rehabilitation costs. In the past several years, new fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars have been introduced as an ...
-
(2022-07-27)The compressive deformation behavior of unirradiated depleted gamma phase uranium metal was investigated in support of new metal fueled fast reactor designs. Extended core residence times have raised questions about long ...

(2016-05-04)When the frictional strength of a fault zone is met, displacement occurs within the fault zone. Displacement can occur at a seismogenic or aseismic velocity. Seismogenic events cause devastating earthquakes while aseismic ...
-
(2016-06-13)The use of soil nails for earth retaining structures have increased tremendously. Since soil nail walls are now considered as permanent structures there is a need to study and characterize creep behavior of soil nail walls. ...
-
(2013-04-05)Within fractured reservoirs, such as tight gas reservoir, coupled processes between matrix deformation and fluid flow are very important for predicting reservoir behavior, pore pressure evolution and fracture closure. To ...

(2019-07-10)Nickel-based singe crystal superalloys are a class of metallic materials with a combination of high-temperature strength, toughness, and resistance to degradation in oxidizing environments, which makes them great candidates ...
-
(2017-11-10)Polymeric sandwich composites are appealing for lightweight structures that require high strength and stiffness such as parts of aircraft, marine vessels, civil infrastructures and wind turbine blades. In wind turbine ...
