AbstractMass ply panel (MPP) is a new mass timber product that was recently introduced for structural applications in buildings. Although there have been several studies on characterizing the mechanical properties…
AbstractPavements covered with snow and ice in winter will reduce antiskid performance, which may cause harm to road operation safety. In this study, an asphalt mixture containing a low-freezing-point additive…
AbstractThixotropy is a very important and unique property of soft clay in engineering, which has been drawing more and more attention in recent years. This study investigated the thixotropic strength…
The MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium (MCSC) has awarded 20 projects a total of $5 million over two years in its first-ever 2022 MCSC Seed Awards program. The winning projects are…
AbstractThe condition of substructures in high-speed railway (HSR) bridges is crucial to the safety of the railway operation. However, research on the condition evaluation of substructures in HSR bridges is…
AbstractFlood events bring havoc to transportation assets including bridges, culverts, and roadways on an annual basis. This has been an increasing trend in the recent years, especially in Midwestern states.…
AbstractThis paper investigates the impact of revised seismic hazard values in the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC 2015) on the design of reinforced-concrete (RC) shear wall buildings. Five buildings…
AbstractFragility functions are used in the vulnerability analysis of structures considering different sources of uncertainties. In this research, a framework to develop time-dependent fragility functions for circular tunnels embedded in…
IntroductionMany large-scale disasters affect broad regions that encompass multiple jurisdictions. For example, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 impacted not just New Orleans, but a broad region of the US Gulf Coast…
AbstractCrumb rubber is one of the waste materials used to improve the behavior of binders. The use of this recycled rubber as a common cheap additive can also help in…
