Pressure-impulse diagrams using finite element analysis for reinforced concrete columns subjected to blast loading
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-08-11)Reinforced concrete is one of the prime building materials widely used to construct protective structures. One of the purposes of this project is to study the non-linear response of reinforced concrete structures when ... -
Seismic response analysis for raised access floor and computer equipment systems considering vertical ground motions
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2014)The damage and failure of computer equipment typically supported by raised access floors in critical data processing facilities could have serious safety and economic implications. Current design provisions provide general ... -
Seismic Vulnerability Analysis of Scoured Bridge Systems
(2014)Bridges are a vital infrastructure component of the transportation networks in both rural and urban areas. Damaged or destroyed bridges can affect the reliability and resilience of transportation networks that are critical ... -
The use of superabsorbent polymer in standard and pervious concrete
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011)The use of internal curing and specifically the use of super absorbent polymers has recently become an important topic in concrete research. Internal curing has been shown to reduce autogenous shrinkage in concrete mixtures, ...
