Abstract:

The aim of this work was to use simulation as a tool to better understand areas of orthokinetic (shear-induced) aggregation which are still not well understood. These areas include aggregate structure, aggregate strength, breakup and restructuring and combined perikinetic/orthokinetic aggregation. Previous simulation studies were reviewed and it was concluded that the methodology of Chen and Doi (1989) was an appropriate starting point for this study. The modified simulation was validated by comparison with theoretical and experimental results. Orthokinetic aggregates were found to have a fr

Abstract:

The effects of maximum size coarse aggregate on the relationship between accelerated strength and 14-day normally cured strength of normal and superplasticized concrete have been investigated. The results obtained show that differences among maximum size coarse aggregates are greater in normal concrete than in superplasticized concrete in strength-producing properties. Among the various sizes of aggregates investigated, one-half inch maximum size of coarse aggregate exhibited higher strength producing properties.

Abstract:

Congenital microcephaly (conMiC) is a manifestation of severely disrupted prenatal brain development, caused by genetic defects, toxins, severe maternal malnutrition, or infection. The Zika virus outbreak and the devastating impact of Zika infection on the fetal brain have focused much attention on the cellular and molecular pathophysiology of conMiC. Mendelian conMiC disorders offer a unique opportunity for understanding gene and protein networks that direct cellular processes essential for prenatal brain development. Using OMIM and literature searches, I analyzed 68 conMiC disorders and thei

This dissertation explores ways in which “capacity-building” might contribute to processes of social change in complex environments. This exploration emerged as part of a personal journey as a capacity-building practitioner to help make sense out of my prior work experience. In my experience, I learned first-hand how many of the “capacity” challenges that my colleagues and I were trying to address in different organizations were complex, “messy” and uncertain. At the same time, many of the capacity-building tools and methodological processes I commonly used assumed a world that was predictable

Abstract:

Fractures and fracture networks govern the mechanical and fluid flow behavior of rock masses. Tunneling and other rock mechanics applications therefore require the characterization of rock fractures based on geological data. Field investigations produce only a limited amount of data from boreholes, outcrops, cut slopes, and geophysical surveys. In tunneling, the process of excavation creates a priceless opportunity to gather more data during construction. Typically, however, these data are not utilized due to the impedance of sampling and analysis on the flow of construction, and safety concer

Abstract:

Major portion of hurricane-induced economic loss originates from damages to building structures. The damages on building structures are typically grouped into three main categories: exterior, interior, and contents damage. Although the latter two types of damages, in most cases, cause more than 50% of the total loss, little has been done to investigate the physical damage process and unveil the interdependence of interior damage parameters. Building interior and contents damages are mainly due to wind-driven rain (WDR) intrusion through building envelope defects, breaches, and other functional

It explores the nature of the built environment through the construction in the natural environment.

Abstract:

The word logistics probably makes most people think of transportation and storage. These activities makes up the core of logistics and therefore it is sometimes referred to as the science of efficient flow of material. Logistics isn’t all about making everything correct. It’s about making everything right. To receive the right products in the correct numbers at the right time means lower storage costs, less costs for intermediate storage and makes it easier for the construction workers to focus on the task at hand. The core of logistics is transportation, storage and inventory control, materia

The potential of carbon emission regulations applied to an individual building will encourage building owners to purchase utility-provided green power or to employ onsite renewable energy generation. As both cases are based on intermittent renewable energy sources, demand side control is a fundamental precondition for maximizing the effectiveness of using renewable energy sources. Such control leads to a reduction in peak demand and/or in energy demand variability, therefore, such reduction in the demand profile eventually enhances the efficiency of an erratic supply of renewable energy.
