Galvanic Corrosion Potential of ChromX Reinforcement
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2021-07)The corrosion potential of ChromX 9100 and 4100 steel (ASTM A1035 Type CS and CM), Type 2205 and 2304 stainless steels, and ASTM A1094 galvanized reinforcement was evaluated in this study. Reinforcement was evaluated in ... -
Corrosion Performance of ChromX 2100, 4100, and 9100 Bars
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2021-01)The corrosion resistance of ASTM A1035 CL (nominal Cr content of 2%), CM (nominal Cr content of 4%), and Type CS (nominal Cr content of 9%) steel reinforcing bars produced by MMFX Technologies under the respective trade ... -
RE-0756-01: Effectiveness of Mechanical Treatment of Crack-Arrest Holes Subject to Distortion-Induced Fatigue
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2021-02-01)This report details a study that was aimed at assessing the effectiveness of mechanically-treating crack arrest holes used at the tips of distortion-induced fatigue cracks. Different mechanisms are possible for producing ... -
Effect of Deformation Height and Spacing on Bond Strength of Reinforcing Bars
(American Concrete Institute, 1993-11-01)The effect of deformation pattern on bond strength is studied using 1-in. (25-mm) diameter machined bars with deformation heights of 0.05, 0.075, and 0.10 in. (1.27, 1.91, and 2.54 mm) and deformation spacings ranging from ... -

The Interfacial Transition Zone: ‘Direct’ Evidence on Compressive Strength
(Materials Research Society, 1995)There is little question that the strength of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between cement paste and aggregate affects the compressive strength of concrete. The key question, rather, is to what degree? It is difficult ... -
Application of Automated Image Analysis to the Study of Cement Paste Microstructure
(Materials Research Society, 1995)Digital acquisition and analysis of back.scattered electron images provide powerful tools for the study of cement-based materials. The techniques can provide useful information on hydration phases, size distributions of ... -

Enhancing the capability of rapid bridge replacement after extreme events
(Emerald, 2007-07-10)Purpose – The potential threats of extreme events to highway bridges have received increased attention from government agencies, the engineering and construction communities, and the traveling public. These events include ... -
Processes and Techniques for Rapid Bridge Replacement After Extreme Events
(SAGE Publications, 2007-01-01)Highway bridges, as critical components of the nation's transportation network, have received increased attention after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and subsequent potential threats to U.S. transportation ... -
Highway Construction Productivity Measurement with a Wireless Real-Time Productivity Measurement System
(SAGE Publications, 2011-01-01)Improving the quality of construction schedules calls for development of an advanced productivity measurement system. Existing on-site construction productivity measurement methods have some common limitations, such as not ... -
Mineral Admixtures, Curing, and Concrete Shrinkage – An Update
(Taiwan Concrete Institute, 2007-11)Work currently underway at the University of Kansas to evaluate free shrinkage of concrete as a function of the length of curing prior to drying, mineral admixtures as a replacement for portland cement, and aggregate type ... -
Control of Cracking in Bridge Decks: Observations from the Field
(ASTM International, 2004-12)Crack surveys of bridge decks, performed over a 10-year period in northeast Kansas as part of three studies, provide strong guidance in identifying the parameters that control cracking in these structures. The surveys ... -
Quantitative backscattered electron analysis of cement paste
(Elsevier, 1992-07)Procedures are developed to obtain reproducible quantitative data from polished specimens of cement paste using automated backscattered electron imaging. Signal production, contrast, image resolution, and imaging techniques ... -
On the performance of radiant barriers in combination with different attic insulation levels
(Elsevier, 2000-11-01)Experiments and computer simulations were conducted to evaluate the performance of radiant barriers under three different insulation levels in residential applications. The experiments were conducted in central Texas, USA ... -
Assessing Outcomes Using Program Assessment Portfolio Approach
(ASTM International, 2004-10-01)The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology has developed and implemented new criteria for accrediting engineering technology programs in the United States. The new criteria, Technology Criteria 2000 (TC2K), ... -
Lessons Learned from an Emergency Bridge Replacement Project
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006-04-01)The terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, and subsequent potential threats to U.S. transportation systems have presented an urgent need to develop emergency response plans to quickly react to the possible consequences ... -
