The setting and hardening process of concrete can be considered as the most critical time period during the life of a concrete structure. To assure high quality and avoid problems in performance throughout the life of the material, it is essential to have reliable information about the early age properties...
This brochure contains information on the NUCu Steel ASTM A-710 Grade B project published at Northwestern University's Infrastructure Technology Institute with the support of the Illinois Department of Transportation. The brochure includes further explanation to Current and Potential Applications, Chemical Composition and Steel Processing, Mechanical and Fracture Properties, Corrosion, Welding,...
This appendix synthesizes micrometer changes in crack width in response to both long term (environmental) and transient (blast vibration) of four of the structures in the main body. The appendix begins with a description of the genesis of the study and instruments employed. Response of the distressed wood-framed structure in...
This manual describes use of a new hybrid autonomous crack and structural response monitoring (ACSM) system. It is designed as a low cost alternative to the research grade version employing SOMAT’s eDAQ data recording system. The concept is to combine a new field portable, 24 bit, 12 channel seismograph with...
