Tabulated in this report are numerical values for the following quantities: (a) coefficients of steady-state deflection for a uniform bar, fixed at one end and subjected to a harmonically varying deflection without ...

Interface bonding between hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlays and Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements can be one of the most significant factors affecting overlay service life. Various factors may affect the bonding ...

Nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) have been proposed as a practical and robust means of passively protecting buildings structures subjected to extreme transient loads. NESs are a type of passive attachment that differentiate ...

This thesis proposes a method to quantitatively measure the resilience of transportation systems using GPS data from taxis. The granularity of the GPS data necessary for this analysis is relatively coarse; it only requires ...

The effects of temperature distributions resulting from ambient conditions on reinforced concrete roofs in Saudi Arabia are investigated. A finite element program (ABAQUS) was used to determine the temperature distributions ...

An ecohydrologic system is a complex network, in which the shifting behavior of individual components and the connectivity between them determines the dynamics. This connectivity between components can act to constrain, ...
