In this study, a systematic thermodynamics-based framework was applied to recycle waste low and high-calcium coal combustion Fly Ash (FA) into synthetic lightweight aggregates (LWA) through sintering. The process to successfully manufacture synthetic LWA
This article discusses the background and motivation of work conducted at NIST to advance first-generation performance-based design procedures in ASCE 41.
This paper revisits previous numerical predictions and experimental measurements of tensile strain capacity (TSC) in curved wide plate (CWP) specimens. The work is motivated by the arguably surprising conclusion in (Liu, Wang, Horsley, et al. 2012) that be

Glass alteration in the presence of microorganisms has been a topic of research for over 150 years. Researchers from a variety of disciplines, including material science, biology, chemistry, geology, physics, and cultural heritage materials preservation
We discuss the measurement of aggregate levels of encounters in a population, a concept we call encounter metrics. Encounter metrics are designed so that they can be deployed while preserving the privacy of individuals. To this end, encounters are labeled
