Compared with overall air void content and size distribution, the spatial arrangement of air voids is probably of more importance in the durability of cement-based materials subjected to repeated freeze-thaw cycles. In this paper, using X-ray computed

During the COVID-19 pandemic, NIST began a targeted campaign of measurements of averaged power and occupancy rate in the radio spectrum. The purpose was to sample real environments to offer timely insights into data infrastructure where it might be
Recently significant attention has been paid to the regional risk assessment of infrastructure systems as proper risk assessment can lead to informed decision and recovery strategies. This paper presents the regional risk assessment of bridge systems using

This study characterizes the engineering properties of lightweight aggregate (LWA) manufactured from low calcium (F-FA) and high calcium (C-FA) waste fly ash that were designed using a previously-developed thermodynamics-guided process. LWA properties that

In the framework of a collaborative project between ASME, NASA, and NIST, quasi-static fracture toughness tests have been performed at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K, or -196 °C) and liquid helium temperature (4 K, or -269 °C) on weld specimens

Extrusion-based 3D printing with rapidly hardening polymeric materials is capable of building almost any conceivable structure. However, concrete, one of the most widely used materials for large-scale structural components, is generally based on inorganic
Based on the collaborative framework established between ASME, NASA, and NIST, quasi-static tensile tests were performed in liquid nitrogen (77 K) and liquid helium (4 K) on tensile specimens extracted from the centers of four welded 316L stainless steel
Given the recent focus on recovery-based design, this study examines the effect of increased design strength and stiffness requirements on the functional recovery performance for a set of eight reinforced concrete moment frame archetypes. Each archetype is
