Environmental durability of FRP bond to concrete subjected to freeze-thaw action
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
An experimental study was performed to determine the environmental durability of the adhesive bond between fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) and concrete. The study specifically focused on freeze-thaw cycling exposure of such ...
The role of computer-aided drafting, analysis, and design software in structural engineering practice
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Perhaps the greatest innovation in engineering in the last fifty years, computer software has changed the way structural engineers conduct nearly every aspect of their daily business. Computer-aided drafting, analysis, and ...
Customer targeting and micro-marketing in a retail supply chain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
As most companies in the consumer products space develop operational capabilities to produce and distribute high-quality low-cost products, leading firms in the industry continuously seek new ways to increase profitability ...
Enabling waste elimination, learning, and continuous improvement through standardization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Many manufacturing companies have developed their own operating system, usually based upon the Toyota Production System, in an effort to improve productivity, quality, and profitability. Continuous improvement is a central ...
Low-impact development in the Assabet River Watershed : site hydrologic design and watershed-scal implications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Low-Impact Development (LID) is a relatively new approach to stormwater management. It aims to mimic natural hydrology through increased recharge and decreased runoff. LID technologies focus on distributed treatment of ...
Software development of the Automated Law Review Submission System
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Organizing article data and information as well as streamlining communications are the most important goals of any submission system. The submission process used by law professors and law review journals severely fails to ...
Design methodologies for the seismic retrofitting of bridges
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
This paper formulates an earthquake design strategy for bridges. Earthquakes can cause extreme economic damage and loss of life. Structural engineers must be conscience of earthquake slip type, earthquake proximity, and ...
Chemomechanics of calcium leaching of cement-based materials at different scales : the role of CH-dissolution and C-S-H degradation on strength and durability performance of materials and structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Calcium leaching is a durability threat for cement-based materials employed in critical infrastructures, such as Nuclear Waste Storage Systems. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the material and structural ...
Stochastic analysis of dense nonaqueous phase liquid dissolution in naturally heterogeneous subsurface systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Field-scale Dense Nonaqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) dissolution in three-dimensional heterogeneous subsurface systems is investigated using a stochastic approach that treats the variability of flow properties as three-dimensional ...
Design of cable systems for cable suspension bridges
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
