Detection of Two-Dimensional Internal Cracks in Concrete Using Point Strain Sensors
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Tensile cracking in the concrete can destroy the structural frame since it induces water penetration in structure and foundation. For instance, in concrete pavements, cracking increases the potential for pavement distress, ...
Cumulative-Anticipative Car-Following Model for Enhanced Safety in Autonomous Vehicles
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
As the rapid development of smart cities, autonomous vehicles are considered to be the future ground transportation measure which provides many benefits over traditional human-driving vehicles. However, there will be decades ...
Filamentous Growth in Entrapped Microbial Cell Reactor Treating Wastewater
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
The overgrowth of filamentous microorganisms in wastewater treatment systems is
a common adversary condition leading to foaming, poor sludge settling problems, and
reduction in organic removal efficiency. Entrapped ...
Comparisons of Energy Dissipation in Structural Devices with Foundation Soil During Seismic Loading
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
The effectiveness of structural energy dissipation mechanisms such as passive
energy dissipation devices and base isolation methods used in seismic design depends on
their capacity, ductility, energy dissipation, isolation, ...
Modeling and Analysis of Impacts of Right-Tum Lane Lengths
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Tum lanes have been studied for several decades, with focus being on left-tum
lanes and for urban areas. The need for right-tum lanes has been studied using the impact
of such tum lanes on both safety and operational ...
Durability of Concrete Members Strengthened with CFRP Sheets under Harsh Environmental Conditions
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
The deterioration of concrete structures 1s a maJor concern to the infrastructure
community. Typical sources of deterioration may include aging,.incrcased service load, and
environmental damage. Structural rehabilitation ...
Multiscale Modeling of Conjugated Polymers Towards Predicting Their Multifunctional Behaviors
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Easy processability, tunable mechanical and optoelectronic properties, and the endless possibilities of molecular modifications enable conjugated polymers (CPs) to be used in a wide range of lightweight, low-cost, and ...
Bonding Performances of Epoxy-Based Composites Reinforced by Carbon Nanotubes
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Epoxy resin has been exclusively used in many civil engineering applications such as adhesive joints and anti-corrosive coatings, but most of the usages of epoxy resin highly rely on a solid adhesive bonding between the ...
Analyses of Highway Project Construction Risks, Performance, and Contingency
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Past studies have highlighted the importance of risk assessment and management in
construction projects and transportation industry, and have identified cost and time as the
most important risks that transportation ...
