This presentation provides information on the the project "Use Of High-Performance A710 Grade B Steel in Construction of Lake Villa, IL Bridge". The presentation was delivered by Morris E. Fine, Semyon Vaynman, and Nunzio Mario Biondolillo on June 14, 2006.
This final report contains information on years 6-7-8 (2004-2007) of TEA-21 funded projects designated A487, W420, and A212. The report was submitted by Morris E. Fine and Semyon Vaynman in 2007.
During the past several years an easily weldable, high strength (more than 75 ksi yield), high impact fracture toughness steel (NUCu steel) has been investigated at Northwestern University with bridge applications in mind. For good weldability without pre-heating and post-heating, the carbon content of the steel was kept low and...
Northwestern University developed copper-precipitation-hardened, high-performance weathering steel (NUCu 70W Steel) that is produced by hot rolling after casting and then air-cooling. Due to simple processing the steel is fabricated at lower cost than competing high-performance steels that require quench and tempering. NUCu 70W steel can be easily welded without pre-...
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,...

Experimental Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) data obtained from the field are compared with numerical simulations using a finite-difference solution of the transmission line equations. The model simulates transmission of a voltage pulse along a lossy coaxial cable where deformities on the cable, such as crimps and shears, are represented by...
How can gatekeeping theory in the circulation of cultural objects, including knowledge production, inform the way cultural sociology investigates the role of the producer and the cultural object as “gated” entities? Using the case of producers working under the rubric of “Contemporary African art” to investigate opportunities and restrictions to...
