| 1 |  | Case studies on free drying shrinkage test sensitivity and on carbonation rate of mortar with photocatalytics | Li, Lingkun | Carbonation; Concrete; Free Shrinkage; Titanium Dioxide | A number of recent studies have examined different methods for preventing concrete distresses and limiting structural failures in order to reduce construction repair costs. Common distresses are cracking, scaling, delamination, and spalling. The causes of these concrete distresses can be from a wide... | 2017 |
| 2 |  | Three-dimensional analyses of precast concrete flooring systems unsing finite element modeling of subassemblies | Christopulos, Zachary P. | Concrete; Finite; Floors; Precast | Precast concrete flooring systems are a fast and cost-competitive construction method. There are currently a number of precast products on the market, such as hollowcore decks, and double-T decks. Hollowcore decks and double-T decks have been on the market for a number of years. These systems have b... | 2014-12 |
| 3 |  | Radiation resistant concrete for applications in nuclear power and radioactive waste industries | Burnham, Steven Robert | Concrete; Radiation; Resistant | Elemental components of ordinary concrete contain a variety of metals and rare earth elements that are susceptible to neutron activation. This activation occurs by means of radiative capture, a neutron interaction that results in formation of radioisotopes such as Co-60, Eu-152, and Eu-154. Studies ... | 2014-08 |
| 4 |  | Dynamic properties of concrete and fiber reinforced concrete at room and elevated temperatures | Weidner, Anna Marie | Concrete; Dynamic; Elevated Temperature; Fiber Reinforced; Impact; Civil engineering | A drop hammer facility, which allows steel weights to be dropped from a height of 16 ft, was built at The University of Utah Structures Laboratory. The drop hammer facility was used to perform a series of dynamic tests on concrete cylinders with and without fiber reinforcement from heights of 16 ft ... | 2013-05 |
| 5 |  | Evaluation of ternary blended cements for use in transportation concrete structures | Gilliland, Amanda Louise | Blended cement; Cement; Concrete; Fly ash; Slag; Ternary; Transportation structures; Concrete structures; Civil engineering; Materials science | This thesis investigates the use of ternary blended cement concrete mixtures for transportation structures. The study documents technical properties of three concrete mixtures used in federally funded transportation projects in Utah, Kansas, and Michigan that used ternary blended cement concrete mi... | 2011-05 |
| 6 |  | Connection of precast shear wall panels using carbon fiber composites and adhesive anchor bolts | McMullin, Paul W | Fibrous composites; Concrete | A fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composite connection and the design methodology for the composite coimection were developed through the testing of nine precast wall panel assemblies. The final connection design consists of an 18x24 inch composite lay-up, epoxy bonded to the concrete wall surface... | 2000-03-28 |
