Development of a Reliability-Based Framework and Empirical Models for Justifying Allowable Chloride Limits and Quantifying Critical Input Variables for Predicting the Service Life of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Creator:

Shakouri Hassanabadi, Mahmoud

Abstract:

Significant progress has been made over the past 20 years in developing models to estimate the service-life of reinforced concrete systems. The basic understandings of the mechanisms that control the transport of ions and moisture in concrete systems have been well researched and models for determining corrosion initiation, specifically chloride-induced...

Study of Interphase in Polylactic Acid and Cellulose Nanocrystal Composite Films

Creator:

Rao, Pratish Ramesh

Abstract:

Polylactic acid (PLA), a renewable material, is used widely in a variety of commercial and specialty applications. However, certain limitations such as high temperature stability and brittleness limit its applicability. This problem is addressed by reinforcing PLA with a variety of materials but the process gives rise to different issues...
