A STUDY ON THE THIN REINFORCED PRECAST CONCRETE PAVEMENT WEARING AESTHETIC DESIGN MATERIAL

Performance of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement Containing Recycled Concrete Aggregate

In 1995, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) began reconstruction in Houston on a section of IH-10 with continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP). The unique aspect of this project was the use of crushed concrete as both coarse and fine aggregates in the new concrete. No virgin aggregates were used. The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate (1) the material propert...

Nonlinear Damping Identification in Precast Prestressed Reinforced Concrete Beams

This article presents a damage detection method for prestressed reinforced concrete (PRC) elements based on free vibration tests and nonlinear damping identification. Integrated static and dynamic experiments were carried out on three precast PRC beam specimens. The static loading induced different levels of damage to the beams. At each damage level, impulsive loading was applied to the beams a...

Design and Concrete Material Requirements for Ultra-thin Whitetopping

a study on the design of bio-ethanol process from date wastes of sistan and baluchistan province

اتانول کاربردهای متنوعی در صنایع لاستیک سازی، رنگسازی، حلالها ومکمل سوخت خودرو دارد. اتانول برخلاف نفت از جمله مواد تجدیدپذیر محسوب می شود که مشکلات زیست محیطی و آلودگی نیز ایجاد نمی کند. استفاده از اتانول به عنوان مکمل سوختخودروها از جمله مهمترین مصارف صنعتی این ماده بشمار می رود. با توجه به این موضوع تحقیق و توسعه در زمینه تولید اتانول با درجه خلوص بالا در سطح جهان، و نه تنها در کشور های پیشر...

Design Considerations for the Connection of Precast Concrete Structures

The structural integrity of precast concrete buildings depends mainly on the connections between the precast structural components. Large precast concrete panels are used extensively in North America for low, medium, and highrise construction due to their ease and speed of assembly, and high quality control. This paper presents the results of twenty-two prototype specimens tested to investigate...
