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. ... -
The effects of bronze and composite sleeves on trunnion yoke plate stress concentrations
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-10-01)Nonlinear simulations were used to predict and further understand the load transfer between trunnion shafts and yoke plates within a tainter gate trunnion assembly. Traditionally, yoke plates have been sized for an average ... -
Investigation into lowering cement clinker content using available materials
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-08-17)Reducing cement clinker with mineral addition has been considered an efficient way of saving energy, lowering CO2 footprint of cement and concrete industries. The trend of using limestone as mineral addition in cement ... -
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 ...
