During recent assessment of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) dams, TVA has developed a systematic approach for determining shear strength parameters for use in the stability analysis. This ...

To use a fairy tale comparison, the potentially catastrophic Hurricane Milton could face the weather equivalent of the big, bad wolf as it approaches Florida — wind shear. That interaction could bring ...

Wind shear is defined as the change in wind speed, wind direction, or both, over some distance. You may have heard airplane pilots talk about turbulence and warn passengers that they’re in for a bumpy ...

There’s a patch of concrete on Drexel University’s campus that could portend a frost-free future for sidewalks and highways in the Northeast. Tucked inconspicuously next to a parking lot for the ...

ABSTRACT: This paper used the existing formulae in estimating resistance parameter of reinforced concrete structure to assess the effect of concrete produced from pit-sand in Akure metropolis, on the ...
