Age and Gender Effects on Strain Response and Biomechanical Performance of C57BL/6 Mice
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease resulting in low bone mass and micro architectural deterioration of bone tissue. It causes a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. This age-related ... -
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 ... -
Experimental Behavior of High Strength Concrete Slabs Subjected to Shock Loading
(2015)The design to resist blast loading is required in many private and governmental buildings. The research presented in this thesis characterizes the response of high strength concrete panels, reinforced with high strength ... -
Finite element analysis and experimental comparison of doubly reinforced concrete slabs subjected to blast loads
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)In the design of concrete structures, it has become important to understand the response of concrete as a structural material when subjected to large stresses and strain rates through explosive loadings. In order to do ... -
Finite element analysis and experimental validation of reinforced concrete single-mat slabs subjected to blast loads
(2013)The work done in this research is to study the response of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to blast loading as they can be used as protective structures around the main structure. An experimental investigation has ... -
Investigation of strength of a hybrid adhesive anchor system used in precast concrete welded repair applications subjected to tensile and eccentric shear loading
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-08-28)A common precast industry repair for missing or misplaced connection plates is the use of an adhesive anchor system to fasten repair plates to precast members. Typically, the repair plate will experience elevated ... -
Modified Virtual Internal Bond Model for Concrete Subjected To Dynamic Loading
(2014)Concrete is often used as a primary material to build protective structures. There is a wide range of research work being performed to simulate the behavior of reinforced concrete under impact and blast loading. This ... -
Optimization of Bridge Approach Slab
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2010)Every US state Department of Transportation has its own practice for design and construction of Bridge Approach Slab (BAS). The objective of this thesis is to explore the usage of alternate innovative structural solution ... -
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 ... -
Pressure-impulse diagrams using finite element analysis for reinforced concrete slabs subjected to blast loading
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2012)Reinforced concrete slab systems are widely used in protective structures designed to resist blast events. Blast events subject structures to high pressure and impulse loads. The magnitude of blast load experienced by a ...
