Preparation and Performance of Repair Materials for Surface Defects in Pavement Concrete
Description Discover how to effectively repair concrete surface defects with our innovative infiltration consolidation repair material. Our study reveals the material's excellent bonding properties and ability to penetrate deep into the surface, resulting in a...
Preparation and Performance of Repair Materials for Surface Defects in Pavement Concrete
Author(s) y Pengfei Li, Zhongyang Mao, Xiaojun Huang and Min Deng Abstract Concrete surface defects are very complex and diverse, which is a great test for repair materials. The efficiency and durability of the repair system depend on the bonding effect between...
Determining the Reasonable Completed Bridge State of a Self-Anchored Suspension Bridge with a Spatial Cable System Based on Minimum Bending Strain Energy: An Analytical Algorithm
Author(s) Wen-ming Zhang, Ph.D.; Zhe-hong Zhang; Gen-min Tian; and Jia-qi Chang Abstract The main cable of a self-anchored suspension bridge (SSB) is directly anchored to the two ends of a stiffening girder, and the stiffening girder is therefore subjected to...
Calibrating a Physics-Based Corrosion Model with Field-Based Bridge Condition Data
Author(s) Hanmin Wang, M.ASCE ; Ravi Ranade ; and Pinar Okumus Abstract This paper presents a novel method for calibrating a physics-based corrosion prediction model using a deterioration curve derived from field-based bridge condition assessments. The...
An Extended Bridge Weigh-in-Motion System without Vehicular Axles and Speed Detectors Using Nonnegative LASSO Regularization
Author(s) Chengjun Tan, A.M.ASCE ; Bin Zhang ; Hua Zhao ; Nasim Uddin, F.ASCE Abstract The bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) technique uses the instrumented bridge on a large scale to identify the axle weight of a passing vehicle. Vehicle configurations, e.g., axle...
Analysis of Seepage Control system Improvement in an Earthen Dam
Author(s) Mohammad Gharehzadeh Shirazi, PhD Ahmad Safuan Bin A Rashid, PhD Abideen Adekunle Ganiyu, PhD Abstract This paper concerns the adequacy of utilising a chimney drain, horizontal filter and cutoff wall in reducing seepage through an earthen dam. To this...
A State-of-the-Art Review on Axial Compressive Behavior of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes Incorporating Steel Fiber and GFRP Jacketing
Author(s) Alireza Bahrami and S. M. Priok Rashid Abstract Several types of fibers have enhanced the structural response of reinforced concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs). This article presents a state-of-the-art review of studies done on the axial compressive...
Time-Domain Structural Damage and Loss Estimates for Wind Loads: Road to Resilience-Targeted and Smart Buildings Design
Author(s) Mihail Iancovici and George Bogdan Nica Abstract A time-domain wind-induced damage evaluation for the risk- and resilience-targeted design of building structures requires nonlinear dynamic analysis (NDA) solvers to handle long duration input loads....
Talking Fiber in Concrete
Description According to our guest, flatwork represents about half of the concrete placed. One of the reinforcement options that has been on the rise these recent years has been the micro and macro fiber. Jonathan Kozlowski interviews Vance Pool, Manager with the...
