Dynamic response of cold-formed steel roof trusses subject to blast load
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The popularity of cold-formed steel building components has seen rapid growth in recent years due to its low cost, high strength, and ability to ... -
Experimental assessment of advanced thermal imaging for detecting voids in ducts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)This research will evaluate the ability of a transient based Infrared Thermography (IRT) technology called the Infrared Ultra Time Domain (IR-UTD) system to detect defects in Post Tensioned (PT) ducts. In recent years, ... -

Molecularly imprinted polymers and their application as environmental sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Molecularly imprinted polymers are specialty polymers with ability of selectively capturing target molecules. They show great potential to be environmental sensors for the detection of specific contaminant. The overall ... -
Reliability-based versus allowable stress design of foundations for the Center for Missouri Studies building
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Uncertainty in design parameters is inherent to the field of geotechnical engineering. Allowable stress design has conventionally been used for foundation design and accounts for uncertainty in geotechnical parameters and ... -
Roof truss systems under blast loads
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Designing roof systems for blast loading is quite complex. Many uncertainties still exist in this vital research area. The typical single degree of ... -
Safety modeling for two certain urban intersection types, HSM calibration, and crash severity distribution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] According to several years' official crash data, a significant proportion of crashes happened at roadway intersections in Missouri. Of those intersection ... -
Variations of disinfection by-product precursors of stream systems in north Missouri watersheds of drinking water supply reservoirs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Dissolved organic matter (DOM) and its potential to form disinfection by-products (DBPs) during water treatment are of great public health concern. The ...
