Wastewater surveillance is a promising approach to monitor biological and chemical contaminants on a community level in support of public health and safety decisions. Wastewater surveillance has recently been shown highly effective for the early detection

Off-spec fly ash-based lightweight aggregate properties and their influence on the fresh, mechanical, and hydration properties of lightweight concrete: A comparative study

August 1, 2022
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Mohammad Balapour, Mohammad Khaneghahi, Yick Hsuan, Diana Hun, Yaghoob Farnam
In this study, an off-spec fly ash-based spherical lightweight aggregate (LWA), designated SPoRA, was manufactured through a pilot-scale production and its engineering properties, including specific gravity, dry rodded unit weight, water absorption

Fracture Toughness Tests at 77 K and 4 K on 316L Stainless Steel Welded Plates

July 29, 2022
Author(s)
Jake Benzing, Nicholas Derimow, Enrico Lucon, Dash Weeks
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

Tensile Tests at 77 K and 4 K on 316L Stainless Steel Welded Plates

July 19, 2022
Author(s)
Dash Weeks, Nicholas Derimow, Jake Benzing
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

Measurement Methods and Techniques for Pressure Losses in Pipe Fittings

June 25, 2022
Author(s)
Lingnan Lin, Marylia Duarte Batista, Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti
Pressure losses in pipe fittings are important design information for sizing pipelines and selecting pumps. Currently, there is no standard method of test for determining the pressure loss of pipe fittings. To assist future development of a standard method
