Lime-Fly Ash-Aggregate Base and Subbase Courses
This paper describes the use of lime-fly ash-aggregate (LFA) base and subbase courses for highway pavements. This type pavement course is considered as an alternate to cement treated bases...
Localization Instabilities Due to Damage and Fracture Propagation: Application to Tensile Specimens
In recent research it has become clear that localization of damage due to strain softening as well as propagation of interactive cracks can result in bifurcations of the loading path characterized...
Compressive Strengths of Lean Concretes Containing Fly Ash
The compressive strength development of lean concretes containing fly ash was evaluated. Concretes were prepared at total cementitious materials contents of 423, 517, and 564 lb/yd3...
Bibliography of Steel Columns
This book, which was prepared by the Committee on Compression Members of the Structural Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers, attempts to provide a complete bibliography...
Building Blocks for the Future
In the near term, advanced, conventional materials�namely higher-strength steel and concrete�will dominate infrastructure rehab. New steels of higher strengths and toughness are increasingly...
Floating Membrane Supertankers: Are They Feasible?
Optimal shapes of long cylindrical membrane containers are obtained by restricting the circumferential membrane stress to be tensile and constant throughout the tanker. Optimality is achieved...
Repair and Rehabilitation of Damaged Steel Flexural Members
In earlier years, the primary method for repairing steel flexural members was to replace the member. However, with the cost of labor and material increasing dramatically over the last...
Local Buckling Behavior of Plate Elements
In the elastic post-local buckling range, the stress distribution across the width of compression elements of light gauge steel shapes is nonlinear. For code implementations, these stress...
Strength of Biaxially Crooked Jumbo Columns
The ultimate strength of axially loaded jumbo columns with biaxial initial out-of-straightnesses is analyzed by the finite element method. The analysis makes use of the measured residual...
Manipulation of Shell and Fabric Structure Form
Fabric structures and concrete shells are readily compared because of their curving shapes and the apparent structural derivation of their forms. Every fabric structure includes compression...
Analysis of the Non-Planar Response of a Cantilever, with the Aid of Computerized Symbolic Manipulation
The nonlinear differential equations governing the static deformations of a cantilever with a tip mass are formulated and analyzed with the aid of computerized symbolic manipulation. The...
High Strength Concrete: Proportioning, Behavior and Applications
Generally, concrete with a cylinder compressive strength higher than 6000 psi (41.4 MPa) is designated as high strength concrete. High strengths are achieved using stronger coarse aggregates,...
Polymer Concretes
Polymer Concrete (PC) is prepared by using polymeric materials to bond inert aggregates in a fashion similar to that of Portland Cement in the preparation of Portland Cement Concrete (PCC)....
Fast Track Paving May Offer Applications to Structures
'Fast Track' is a technique that permits portland cement concrete pavements to be opened to traffic in a day or less after they are poured. The method has been...
Freezing and Thawing Durability of High Strength Silica Fume Concrete
Specimens from 27 batches of concrete with a water to cementitious (cement plus silica fume) ratio of 0.25 to 0.32, with and without entrained air, were tested for freeze-thaw durability...
Surface Treatments for Concrete
The US Army Corps of Engineers initiated in 1984 a research program designated Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR), one of the work units being the evaluation of...
High Molecular Weight Methacrylate for Sealing Cracked Concrete
The sealing of cracks in concrete surfaces has been one of the most difficult types of repair to accomplish. Epoxy injection has been widely used, but due to its relatively high cost,...
Sprayed-On Polymer Mortar Construction
Sprayed-on polymer mortar has been used to construct low-cost, lightweight structures in a variety of locations. The addition of the two-component additive to one cubic yard of mortar...
Concrete Strength-Quality Assurance
The usual criterion for establishing grades of structural concrete is the compressive strength measured in an arbitrary manner on a standardized specimen stored in a stipulated fashion...
Early Age Strength Detection for In-situ Concrete
In recent years it has become increasingly beneficial to know the quality of concrete as soon as possible after it has been placed. This is especially true for high-rise concrete buildings...
