Innovations in engineered wood products have led to an increased interest in the design and construction of high-rise timber buildings. However, concerns arise when consi[...]

The paper contains the complete analysis of the Galton-Watson models with immigration, including the processes in the random environment, stationary or nonstationary ones[...]

In this Dissertation our work on `enhanced thermally managed packaging of high power semiconductor light sources for solid state lighting (SSL)' is presented. The motivat[...]

Geopolymer cements provide an alternative to the Portland cement used to manufacture structural concrete. The material commonly used to produce geopolymers is fly ash, w[...]

Self-sensing concrete is embedded with electrostrictive materials that provides indications of strain based on variations in electrical conductivity, or its inverse, resi[...]

As military and diplomatic representatives of the United States are deployed throughout the world, they must frequently make use of local, existing facilities; it is inev[...]

Power line workers have long been required to climb timber utility poles to perform maintenance. Although routine pole inspection and maintenance programs are in place t[...]

Scour is an important factor affecting the hydraulic structures of a bridge. Remote sensing techniques such as terrestrial LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) can help sp[...]

Geopolymer cement is an alternative binder manufactured from fly ashes that can fully replace portland cement in traditional reinforced concrete applications. As a viable[...]

As wet, lay-up fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) continue to gain popularity in the redesign and retrofit of reinforced concrete structures; it becomes imperative to fully [...]
