Securing the Stone
To prevent spalling at edges on thin stone veneer, engineers who design stone cladding pay special attention to the connection details. Kerf clips, 100-150 mm long, that distribute load...

Evaluation of Partial Depth Spall Repair Materials and Procedures
In 1990, as a part of a Strategic Highway Research Program project (SHRP H-106, Innovative Materials Development and Testing), an investigation was initiated to evaluate the performance...
Pavement Materials for ASTOVL Aircraft Application
Jet blast impingement on concrete is a problem today and will worsen when the new vectored-thrust aircraft become operational. Ground erosion has already been observed under the auxiliary...
Spalling and Buckling of Ice Sheets
The effect of local eccentricity in the vertical direction on the magnitude of compressive strength of wide ice sheets is studied theoretically. Two new failure modes are identified: indentation...
Restoring the Capitol's West Front
After 25 years of debate, preservation (rather than extension) of the West Front of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. has begun. A network of stainless steel rods is being...
Design for Whipping Pipe Impact on Reinforced Concrete Panels
This paper describes determination of local and overall effects on reinforced concrete panels due to whipping pipe impact in postulated pipe break events. Local damage includes the prediction...

Georgia's Low-Cost Approach to Rehabilitating Concrete Pavements
A six step approach to rehabilitating concrete pavements is described. The six steps are: (1) Slab stabilization; (2) slab replacement, where necessary; (3) repair of spalls; (4) resawing...
