Effect of Damaged Area on Service Life of Epoxy-Coated Reinforcement
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2022-05)This report presents a literature review of the effect of coating damage on the corrosion resistance and service life of epoxy-coated reinforcement (ECR). Epoxy coatings obtain damage during fabrication, handling, and ... -
Ionic Interactions at the Crude Oil–Brine–Rock Interfaces Using Different Surface Complexation Models and DLVO Theory: Application to Carbonate Wettability
(American Chemical Society, 2022-02-15)The impact of ionic association with the carbonate surface and its influence toward carbonate wettability remains unclear and is an important topic of interest in the current literature. In this work, a triple layer model ... -
Controlling Mesenchyme Tissue Remodeling via Spatial Arrangement of Mechanical Constraints
(Frontiers Media, 2022-02-18)Tissue morphogenetic remodeling plays an important role in tissue repair and homeostasis and is often governed by mechanical stresses. In this study, we integrated an in vitro mesenchymal tissue experimental model with a ... -
Robust numerical analysis of fibrous composites from X-ray computed tomography image data enabling low resolutions
(Elsevier, 2022-06-16)X-ray computed tomography scans can provide detailed information about the state of the material after manufacture and in service. X-ray computed tomography aided engineering (XAE) was recently introduced as an automated ... -
Diagonally Reinforced Concrete Coupling Beams: Effects of Axial Restraint
(American Concrete Institute, 2021-11)Two pairs of nominally identical large-scale coupling beam specimens were tested under reversed cyclic displacements. Within each pair, one specimen was free to elongate and the other had resistance to elongation during ... -
High-Strength Steel Bars in Earthquake-Resistant Reinforced Concrete T-Shaped Walls
(American Concrete Institute, 2021-01)Six large-scale reinforced concrete T-shaped slender walls were tested under reversed cyclic loading to study the effects of reinforcing bar mechanical properties on wall deformation capacity. Effects on lateral stiffness ... -
Strength and Deformation of Reinforced Concrete Squat Walls with High-Strength Materials
(American Concrete Institute, 2021-01)The behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) squat walls constructed with conventional- and high-strength materials was evaluated through tests of 10 wall specimens subjected to reversed cyclic loading. Primary variables ... -
Load Rating Reinforced Concrete Bridges without Plans: State-of-the-Practice
(American Concrete Institute, 2020-06-01)In response to Federal Highway Administration requirements, several states are in the process of ensuring all bridges within their inventories are load rated. A challenging aspect of this effort is load rating reinforced ... -
Diagonally Reinforced Concrete Coupling Beams with Grade 120 (830) High-Strength Steel Bars
(American Concrete Institute, 2020)Four large-scale coupling beams were tested under fully reversed cyclic loads to investigate the effects on behavior of diagonal bar grade (60 or 120 [420 or 830]), beam shear stress (9.5 or 14√fc′, psi [0.79 or 1.17√fc′, ... -
Girder–Deck Interface: Partial Debonding, Deck Replacement, and Composite Action
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-01)Results are reported from tests of three precast, prestressed concrete girders under fatigue-type cyclic and monotonic loading conducted after deck removal and replacement. Although deck demolition altered the top surface ... -
Implementation of High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete Coupling Beams in High-Rise Core-Wall Structures in the Seattle Area
