ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractThis study evaluates the effectiveness of externally bonded small-patch ultrahigh-modulus (UHM) carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates of 460 GPa modulus in extending fatigue life and slowing crack propagation in steel…
AbstractConstruction workers are vulnerable to excessive workloads that may cause ergonomic risks, disturbing the construction schedule. Hence, ergonomic risks and the responding measures for mitigating them, namely ergonomic measures, need…
AbstractThe use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixtures is an expedient and cost-effective solution against rutting failure, but its performance against fatigue and thermal cracking is unsatisfactory and…
AbstractFatigue cracking due to repeated truck traffic loads is the leading cause of failure of asphalt concrete pavement in many locations. Rest periods, referring to the time intervals between successive…
AbstractFire is an accidental, severe hazard for bridges during their lifetime. Hangers in suspension bridges are among the most vulnerable components with respect to the hanger fatigue effect, and fatigue…
AbstractImproving the evacuation efficiency of fire stairways is conducive to ensuring the evacuation safety of underground spaces. Personnel fatigue is the main issue during ascending movement, and it is related…
AbstractRejuvenator seal material (RSM) is designed to revitalize an aged asphalt binder by spraying it on the surface of roads. It restores the mechanical properties of the existing pavement. This…
AbstractThe stringer connections of a historical “Model 1936” Swiss military bridge are investigated through a full-scale field-testing program, with the aim of clarifying modeling uncertainties and enabling a standard fatigue…
AbstractConstruction is one of the most hazardous industries with high fatal and nonfatal accidents rates. However, many accidents could be prevented by improving workers’ safety performance. Numerous factors impact their…
AbstractThe incorporation of waste materials into road materials provides an excellent opportunity for partial reductions in virgin material consumption while providing a valuable alternative destination for the would-be waste. However,…
