Evaluation of Resistivity Meters for Concrete Quality Assurance, Project TR201414
(2015-07-28)
This research evaluated a series of MoDOT concrete mixtures to verify existing
relationships between surface resistivity (SR), rapid chloride permeability (RCP), chloride ion
diffusion, and the AASHTO penetrability ...
Watershed-level Analysis of Urban Raingarden Performance
(2013)
Urban flooding became to be a big issue for many cities in the world due to the urbanization. Best Management Practices (BMP) are considered to be an economically friendly solution for the urban storm water problem.
The ...
Blast Analysis of a Bridge with AASHTO Type VI Girders Using CSI Bridge
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Protection of bridges from blast load due to terrorist attacks or accidental explosions
is necessary. For this we require to study the performance of a bridge when blast loads are
applied above the deck slab. The ...
Assessment of HEC-18 equations for NCHRP abutment scour based on Kansas field data
(2013)
Bridge failures are caused by many different failure mechanisms, not the least of
which is scour. Scour occurs due to the erosion of streambed or bank material due to
flowing water and is often considered as being ...
Assessment of HEC-18 scour equations for bottomless culverts based on Kansas field data
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
One of the main causes of bridge failure is scour at the abutments or piers. Scour is
caused by increased velocities of water through bridge openings. Sediment is carried away
from the foundations by high flows causing ...
Bed degradation of the lower Missouri River
(2013-06-04)
The phenomenon of bed degradation can be due to a multiplicity of causes, but ultimately reflects a change in either the sediment input or sediment transport capacity of a system. Causes for the accelerated rate of degradation ...
Characterization of "t-z" model design parameters for augered cast-in-place piles using field load test data
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-08-24)
With the increasing use of augered cast-in-place piles in new construction, it is important that proper design parameters be incorporated when evaluating pile capacity and performance using reliability-based design methods. ...
