AbstractThe analysis of long-term rheological consolidation behaviors of soft soils is the research focus in geotechnical and geological engineering. This paper develops an analytical theory to explore such behavior within…
Thirteen MIT undergraduates, graduate students, and alumni have been awarded Fulbright fellowships to pursue projects overseas in the 2022-23 grant year. Another MIT affiliate was offered an award but has…
AbstractRoadway improvements to reduce the frequency of crashes are of the utmost priority to transportation agencies. To a great extent, implementation of improvement programs depends on the reliable identification of…
AbstractThe presence of emerging contaminants (ECs) in the environment, especially in the water and wastewater matrices, has become a major headache for the competent authorities, because even with the mildest…
The term buy and dry plays to the fears of farm and ranch communities. In Owens Valley, California, in the early 1900s and Palo Verde Irrigation District, California, today, wealthy…
AbstractAs the most important infrastructure of the airport system, airfield pavement is exposed to the challenges with heavy aircraft loads and increased flight frequency. Therefore, its preservation and maintenance has…
AbstractThe drying shrinkage of alkali-activated concrete (AAC) is a very complex process, and it warrants long-term testing. The present study was focused on the development of drying shrinkage prediction models…
AbstractPredicting the axial capacity and behavior of concentrically, eccentrically, and slender loaded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-RC columns is not completely established, and the current design codes lack design provisions for FRP-RC…
AbstractTextile-reinforced concrete (TRC) is a special type of concrete gaining popularity nowadays in the field of civil engineering due to its technical advantages. Owing to the absence of coarse aggregate…
