The determination of bed shear stress plays a pivotal role in understanding the fluid dynamics in both natural and engineered channels. The commonly employed logarithmic law provides a mathematical formula to compute the bed shear stress in open-channel flows. However, its applicability in flow through...

The relationship between soil erosion rate and bed shear stress is an important problem in sediment transport and scour. However, obtaining reliable measurements of soil erodibility is challenging, both in the field and in the laboratory. The objective of this study is to investigate an experimental...

This report presents a research program studying the grooved bonding schemes of composite sheets (carbon fiber reinforced polymer, CFRP) for rehabilitating concrete members. The first phase of the research presents the efficacy of functional periodicity on controlling the occurrence of interfacial failure...
