• Development and Implementation of a Multi-axial Real-time Hybrid Simulation Framework 

  Fermandois, G.A.; Spencer, B.F., Jr. (Newmark Structural Engineering Laboratory. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 2018-09)

  Real-time hybrid simulation is an efficient and cost-effective experimental testing technique for performance evaluation of structural systems subjected to earthquake loading with rate-of loading behavior. To assess the ...

• Formal Design of Cloud Computing Systems in Maude 

  Meseguer, Jose (2018-09-16)

  Cloud computing systems are complex distributed systems whose design is challenging for two main reasons: (1) since they are distributed systems, a correct design is very hard to achieve by testing alone; and (2) cloud ...

• Material Constituents and Proportioning for Roller-Compacted Concrete Mechanical Properties 

  LaHucik, Jeffrey R; Roesler, Jeffery R. (Illinois Center for Transportation/Illinois Department of Transportation, 2018-08)

  Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is increasingly becoming an alternative pavement type because of its construction expediency, reductions in material and construction costs, sustainability benefits, and overall structural ...

• Seismic Performance of Seat-Type Abutment Highway Bridges in Illinois 

  LaFave, James M; Fahnestock, Larry A; Luo, Jie; Kozak, Derek L (Illinois Center for Transportation/Illinois Department of Transportation, 2018-08)

  This study assesses the seismic performance of quasi-isolated highway bridges with seat-type abutments, validates the current IDOT design strategy, and provides recommendations for improving a bridge’s seismic behavior. ...

• Seismic Performance of Integral Abutment Highway Bridges in Illinois 

  LaFave, James M; Fahnestock, Larry A; Kozak, Derek L (Illinois Center for Transportation/Illinois Department of Transportation, 2018-08)

  The seismic behavior of integral abutment bridges (IABs) is of particular interest in southern Illinois, where proximity to the New Madrid Seismic Zone may create significant ground motion accelerations during an earthquake. ...
