AbstractThe load resistance (LR) of glass lites is determined in the United States by use of standards based on a probabilistic model of glass breakage. These standards generally restrict design…
AbstractHuff rainfall temporal distributions published in Atlas 14 are contrasted with rainfall distributions with nested intensity-duration-frequency functions that are also derived from Atlas 14, and the role of Huff rainfall…
AbstractFlexible pavements are prone to premature deterioration, and researchers are unresolved regarding the importance of the underlying causes resulting in inappropriately selected modeling parameters and increased uncertainty in predicting subsequent…
AbstractThis study aimed to examine the fractal properties of the optimal hydraulic gradient surface (OHGS), a geometrical body that describes the way in which the available energy should be spent…
AbstractBioretention units were constructed at the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Edison Environmental Center to evaluate drainage-to-surface runoff ratio for sizing of bioretention stormwater controls. Three sizes of hydraulically isolated bioretention…
AbstractCarpentry joints are the traditional connecting media for timber elements. Among those, step joints are particularly important at structural size, because they are the most frequent solution to connect rafters…
AbstractDue to the expanding availability of high-fidelity weigh-in-motion (WIM) data in recent years, various local agencies have modified bridge design and rating procedures to best reflect state-specific traffic loads. However,…
AbstractDynamic load factors (ϕ) relate the magnitude of vertical wheel-to-rail loads in operation (dynamic loads) to static loads resulting from the weight of the rail car and its contents, as…
Designing a new kitchen for your home isn’t as simple as just choosing something you like from an image or a showroom as there are so many variables to consider.…
Decorating your home from scratch, where you have to build every corner of the space inch by inch and bit by bit, can seem very overwhelming. But if you have…
