Durable and Constructible Materials in Glass Reinforced Concrete to Efficiently Accommodate Magnetic Fields (Mar 2024, MPC-24-519)
Inductive power transfer systems (IPTS) embedded in concrete pavement panels allow EVs to charge their batteries while in motion. Four prototype concrete slabs were constructed and monitored during high-cycle fatigue loading. After the fatigue tests, each slab was subjected to a static load until failure....
Composite Repair of Full-Scale Timber Bridge Chord Members through the Process of Shear Spiking (Dec 2005, MPC-05-173)
Investigations into the effects of the addition of vertically-oriented shear spikes with fiberglass reinforced polymer rods have shown that the shear spikes increased the effective stiffness of the stringers of a full-scale timber bridge chord specimen. This was previously found to be true on dimension...
