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
ATC Complexity Measures: Formulas Measuring Workload and Complexity at Stockholm Tma
Workload and complexity measures are, as of today, often imprecise and subjective. Currently, two commonly used workload and complexity measuring formulas are Continue reading
Key Performance Indicators for the Evaluation of an Air Navigation Service Providers’ Safety Management System
Safety is the main concern of the aviation industry. All Air Navigation Service Providers must have a Safety Management System (SMS) which states how Continue reading
Route Planning Using Multiple Attributes: Finding Routes Other Than the Shortest for Bicycles
Congestion and pollution are two ever increasing problems in our would of urbanization. Bicycling is one of the most sustainable means of transport and it is a great way of reducing congestion in cities. Route planners which brings out the Continue reading
High Strength Steel in the Reinforced Concrete Structures: Serviceability
The use of high-strength steel (yield stress larger than 100 ksi) in reinforced concrete structures can provide an effective alternative to using conventional steel (yield stress up to 80 ksi). The goal of this study is to investigate if slabs with Continue reading
Viable Options a Shipper has in Using Different Logistic Solutions
The research question explores the viable options a shipper has in using different logistic solutions. An investigation was conducted by first understanding the different provider levels based on Continue reading
A Novel Method for Tensile Testing of Very Early-age Concrete
Early-age cracking can seriously compromise the performance and aesthetics of concrete structures, and is thus an ongoing major concern to the concrete construction industry. More effective control of this form of cracking requires an Continue reading
Energy Performance Certification and Green Building: A comparison between the Environmental Effect and the discharge of Carbon Dioxide
The major climatic problem has been worsening extremely rapidly over the last decades and if no measures are taken soon, we will experience severe consequences over the Continue reading
