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[...]

This dissertation presents an in-depth investigation into the performance of Engineered Water Repellent (EWR) soils for mitigating frost action, particularly in pavement [...]

The suitability of fly ash based geopolymer concrete as a replacement for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete depends on the mobility of elements from the material. D[...]

Carbon sequestration in geological formation is an ongoing effort of the research community to address the issue of curbing excessive anthropogenic CO2 emissions. This di[...]

Micropiles are a relatively new deep foundation technology in the United States. As an alternative to driven piles or drilled shafts, micropiles can provide substantial [...]

Modeling machining processes with conventional finite element methods (FEM) is challenging due to the severe deformations that occur during machining, complex frictional [...]

Improving heat dissipating property of composite materials is becoming increasinglyimportant in domains ranging from the automotive industry, electronic devices toaeronau[...]

Motivated by the government's clean energy targets, the penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) is increasing. These DERs interconnections bring the added gener[...]

The use of fly ash as a partial replacement of Portland cement in concrete production has been widely accepted and has been proven to be a successful practice that enable[...]

We present a new algorithm for approximating solutions of two-point boundary value problems and prove theorems that give conditions under which the solution must exist an[...]
