Uncertainty analysis in structural number determination in flexible pavement design--a convex model approach.
March 1, 2002... Abstract The AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures uses a structural number as one of the major inputs for flexible pavement thickness design. Previous studies have shown that the layer coefficients, which are a component of the...

Ion chromatographic analysis of corrosion inhibitors in concrete.
March 1, 2002... Abstract A method employing ion chromatography for identifying and quantifying ions present in the aqueous phase of concrete after surface treatment with corrosion inhibitors is reported in this paper. With this technique, a broad range of...

Service life of building envelope components: making it operational in economical assessment.
March 1, 2002... Abstract Recently, standards and guides have been developed to assess the service life of buildings. During design and operation of buildings, focus is mainly on the cost of constructing and operating the building than on its service life...

Static and dynamic behaviour of RC beam model strengthened by CFRP-sheets.
March 1, 2002... Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyse the static and dynamic behaviour of RC beams strengthened by CFRP-sheets after damage by cracking. An experimental program has been developed considering RC beam models with or without...

Behaviour of low-temperature fired laterite bricks under uniaxial compressive loading.
March 1, 2002... Abstract It has been shown previously that the properties of some laterite building bricks abundant in tropical areas can be improved by stabilization through heat at low temperatures. Further investigations based on a series of laboratory...

Thermal changes in clay products from alluvial deposits of the Indo-Gangetic plains.
March 1, 2002... Abstract Investigations were undertaken to assess the thermal modification in clay products from alluvial deposits of the Indo-Gangetic plains of India. Typical alluvial clay materials from three locations were evaluated for...

Effect of random inclusion of sisal fibre on strength behaviour of soil.
March 1, 2002... Abstract Construction of building and other civil engineering structures on weak or soft soil is highly risky on geo-technical grounds because such soil is susceptible to differential settlements, poor shear strength and high...
