Characterization of Interfacial Bond Strength in Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites by a Modified Pullout Method
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
This document entails the research work carried out to propose a new method for quantifying the interfacial bond strength in fiber reinforced cementitious composites. A modified pullout test has been designed to determine ...
Portland Limestone Cement with Fly Ash: Freeze-Thaw Durability and Microstructure Studies
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
In this study, the freeze-thaw performance and other engineering properties of different cementitious mixtures containing Type I/II portland cement, Type IL (10) portland Limestone cement (PLC) and Coarse Ground cement ...
Characteristics of Concrete Building Units Containing Crushed Waste Glass
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
"Glascrete" the term used for concrete in which all the aggregates or part of it are substituted by crushed glass. Glass is the only material that can be recycled many times without changing its properties; these properties ...
Study on Compaction Moisture Range Specifications of North Dakota State and Development of Empirical Equations for Predicting Compaction Characteristics
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Stability of soil plays an important role in the construction of engineering structures like pavements, buildings, embankments, dams, etc. Compaction is the process where proper stability of soil is ensured with required ...
Assessment of Owner Risk Associated with Airport Capital and Maintenance Projects
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The thesis produces a risk management process that effectively determines risk and its effects on commercial airport owner activities. To achieve this goal, the thesis reviewed these objectives: 1) Determination of major ...
Spatial Statistical and Multivariate Regression Approach to Earthwork Shrinkage-Factor Calculation
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
In this research, a linear shrinkage factor model, which is the result of spatial and statistical modeling, was developed for the state of North Dakota. The input variables for the developed shrinkage factor models were ...
The Mechanics of Bonds between Concrete and FRP Plate using Three Parameter Elastic Foundation Models
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Traditional metallic materials lead steel-reinforced concrete structures to a durability problem due to its low value of resistance to corrosion. The superior performances of FRP, including the high resistance to corrosion, ...
Developing an Image Capture Specification for Future Building Modifications
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
In the construction industry, images taken by cameras have been used to extract information for a number of purposes. However, a review of the literature suggests that there is an absence of specifications regarding the ...
Numerical Simulation and Structural Optimization of Composite Rigid Frame Bridge
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
A composite rigid frame bridge replaces a certain portion of the concrete middle span of a bridge with a section of the steel girder. While the steel span improves the bending moment distribution of the rigid frame structure, ...
Role of Mixing of Two Bacteria on Compressive Strength, Water Absorption and Microstructure of Mortar Cubes
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Major/minor cracks is inevitable in concrete because of its lower tensile strength and different load and non-load factors. Addition of bacteria in mortar is an emerging concept. Despite the fact that the live cells has ...
