The Economics of On-Farm Storage
The interest in grain storage in Kansas and other states has escalated recently. This interest can be attributed to increased yields due to improved technology and genetics, wide basis levels at harvest, and a shift to more corn acres due to the Continue reading
Capacity and Lifetime Analysis of Pre-stressed Slatted Floors
This study investigates the mechanical differences between old and newly produced slatted floors through a four-point bending test. To understand to what extent the actual environment has affected the Continue reading
Design of High-rise Buildings: Past, Present and Future
An overview of development of high-rise buildings is presented. Key advancements leading to high-rise buildings of today are discussed. Structural analysis and design considerations for modern high-rise buildings are presented and trends in Continue reading
Implementing Net Zero Energy Elements into the Construction Innovations Center
ABSTRACT
As the environmental status of our planet declines, it is becoming increasingly important for the construction industry to adapt. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is becoming an unspoken requirement for all new and tenant Continue reading
Laboratory Evaluation of Select Methods of Corrosion Prevention in Reinforced Concrete Bridges
Sixteen reinforced concrete laboratory specimens were used to evaluate a number of corrosion prevention methods under an accelerated (6 months) testing program. The use of galvanic thermal sprayed zinc, galvanic embedded Continue reading
Corrosion Resistance of Weathering Steels
To reduce both the initial and the maintenance painting costs, engineers in many states have increasingly been designing bridges made of bare, exposed weathering steel. However, after many years of experience, engineers are concerned about the Continue reading
The Application of Wassara Hammer and Mudmotor Steering Drilling Methods
Hallandsås Project, carried out by Skanska-Vinci, concerns the construction of two 8.7 km long railway tunnels in Southern Sweden. These tunnels have been excavated with the use of Tunnel Borring Machine(TBM). The excavation of the Continue reading
Assessing Vulnerability to Extreme Heat in San Luis Obispo County
INTRODUCTION
Project Purpose
The purpose of this project is to assess populations in San Luis Obispo County that are vulnerable to extreme heat. Although there are various efforts in the State and County to address extreme heat, none specifically assess or prepare for Continue reading
Vertical Extensions of the Urban Swahili House: A Proposal for Standardised Two-storey Construction
A decent shelter is a basic human need. In developing countries, where the industrialisation process is accompanied by rapid urbanisation, the population solves their housing situation within limits of their own savings. Therefore the majority of people in Tanzania still live in Continue reading
Creation of a Model for the Study of the Ventilation Air Diffusion of the Falun Hospital
The main aim of the project is the creation of a CFD model for a plant in the Falun Hospital in Sweden. CFD is a new area of engineering that appears because of the great Continue reading
