Undrained shear strength is important in the evaluation of the stability of both natural and man-made slopes. Some researchers have proposed methods such as SHANSEP to evaluate the undrained shear strength of fine grained soils. However, the impact of . . .

An analysis of green roof water quality was done to answer this question: does the use of green roofs reduce or contribute to storm water pollution? Green Roofs can increase the overall water retention of an urban area and lower the volume of expected . . .

The behavior of civil structures, such as buildings and bridges, subjected to earthquake shaking is highly dependent on structural components which resist the lateral forces that result from ground acceleration. Modern seismic design strategies common . . .

Studies on using high strength steel as flexural and shear reinforcement in reinforced concrete members are limited in the literature. Thus, current ACI 318 provisions do not permit using reinforcement steel with a strength higher than 80 ksi as flexu . . .
