Full-scale testing of a parking structure column retrofitted with carbon fiber reinforced composites.
March 1, 2000... Abstract A proof test was performed to investigate the improved seismic performance of parking structure columns retrofitted with carbon fiber composite jacketing. One full-scale square column with details simulating the typical existing...

Behaviour of precast reinforced concrete pile caps.
March 1, 2000... Abstract The objective of this investigation is to study the behaviour of precast reinforced concrete pile caps and the ultimate load-carrying capacity. Three pile cap units were cast and tested to failure. One unit was a control pile cap...

Laboratory study on the low temperature physical hardening of conventional and polymer modified bitumens.
March 1, 2000... Abstract Physical hardening is a reversible process that may influence the long-term performance of a material. In this paper, physical hardening of five unmodified and 35 polymer modified bitumens was studied using a bending beam...

Influence of soil type on stabilization with cement kiln dust.
March 1, 2000... Abstract A laboratory study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of cement kiln dust (CKD) as a soil stabilizer. The study revealed that increases in the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of soil occurred with the addition of...

Punched metal plate timber fasteners under fatigue loading.
March 1, 2000... Abstract A series of uniaxial cyclic loading tests have been carried out on two types of punched metal plate timber fasteners to investigate and establish their failure criterion, provide a better understanding of their mechanism of...

A semi-mobile flash dryer/calciner unit to manufacture pozzolana from raw clay soils--application to soil stabilisation.
March 1, 2000... Abstract The use of hydraulic binders in the construction of durable housing or roads in developing countries is an efficient technique, for which there is a demand at various times and in dispersed places throughout the world. The problem...
