Mechanics of load transfer in cable-reinforced materials
… is enforced through the use of approximate bond conditions. Two alternative tangential bond conditions are proposed and comparison is made with certain exact solutions for torsion of embedded rods, to determine the best choice of tangential bond condition for use with the embedded cable …

NDT to characterize 3D printed concrete interlayer bonds
… Layer interfaces can form cold joints, or bond weaknesses, that could compromise structural integrity. Furthermore, the unique characteristics and geometric constraints associated with 3D printed concrete render traditional inspection methods to characterize material quality useless. This …

Assessing the Mechanical Response of Pavements During and After Flooding
… pavement structural capacity due to unforeseen conditions may lead to unexpected outcomes or failure. The objective of this dissertation is to advance the current knowledge of the behavior of flooded pavements, based on their performance properties and structural capacities.</p> <p>Several …

The role of the fiber/matrix interphase in the static and fatigue behavior of polymeric matrix composite laminates
… embodies the characteristics of the fiber/matrix bond, including the strength and stiffness of the bond. In essence, the interphase represents the composite system, since it defines the level of synergistic interaction that occurs between the load-carrying fibers and the binding matrix material. …

Evaluation of bonded concrete overlays on asphalt pavements
A field performance study of 19 bonded concrete overlays on asphalt pavements (BCOA) projects in 9 states were completed in this research study. BCOA pavements ranged in age from 7 to 26-years old and average thickness per project of 3.8 to 9.3 inches. The panel size varied from 4 ft x 4ft to 12 ft …
