Communication during the selection interview : a structured review
The selection interview is an inherently communicative event. However, in the history of selection interview research, scholars have remarked on how this research lacks a communicative focus. By a lack of focus, they address ... -
A study on geosynthetic-reinforced asphalt systems
(2018-10-04)Inclusion of geosynthetics within hot-mix asphalt (HMA) layers has been reported to be an effective technique to enhance the performance of pavements. The main benefits expected from geosynthetic reinforcement of HMA layers ... -
Potential vertical rise of lime-treated expansive clays using centrifuge technology
(2018-08-17)Expansive soils are prevalent throughout Central Texas and can cause extensive damage to pavements and other lightweight transportation projects. Methods of directly quantifying soil swell potential are often prohibitively ... -
Unmanned aerial vehicle path planning for traffic estimation and detection of non-recurrent congestion
(2018-10-04)Unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) can be used in traffic and road monitoring applications. We investigate the benefit of using drones for simultaneous traffic state estimation and incident detection. Specifically, we propose ... -
Moisture drainage under unsaturated soil conditions with the aid of enhanced lateral drainage (ELD) geotextiles
(2018-10-04)Drainage under unsaturated soil conditions has always been a challenge for many civil engineering applications where removal of this extra moisture would improve the performance of the system. The suction in the small pores ... -
The value of data : analyzing transportation network company trips for transit planning
(2018-07-27)Private transit in the US has evolved over the last decade to include car-sharing services like car2go and Zipcar to Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) such as Uber, Lyft, and RideAustin. As these services become more ... -
Temporal dynamics of willingness to pay for alternatives that increase the reliability of water and wastewater service
(2018-09-11)Public perceptions are dynamic and, continually being in flux, they can profoundly impact infrastructure projects and policies. Providers of water and wastewater services need to understand the dynamic nature of public ... -
Seismic vulnerability of masonry facades in Texas and Oklahoma regions
(2018-07-18)In the Oklahoma and Texas area, an increase in human-induced seismic activity has resulted in millions of dollars of damage in the region, primarily to residential homes. The most common damage is to chimneys and masonry ... -
Environmental loads on control and geosynthetic stabilized pavements over expansive clay subgrades
(2018-09-11)Expansive clay subgrades have been reported as one of the major sources for damages to roadways in central and east Texas. The frequent and predominant form of damage to roadways over expansive clay subgrades includes ... -
Evaluation of asphalt binder and mixture properties that incorporate reclaimed asphalt pavement
(2018-05-04)Several private and public agencies are exploring ways in which the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) can be increased in the construction of new pavements. However, such an increase must not come at the expense of ... -
Performance of precast, prestressed concrete I-girders employing 0.7-in. diameter prestressing strands under shear-critical loading conditions
The majority of precast, pretensioned concrete elements are currently fabricated using 0.5- or 0.6-in. diameter prestressing strands. However, in recent years, potential benefits such as reduced fabrication costs and ... -
End-region behavior of precast, prestressed concrete I-girders employing 0.7-inch diameter prestressing strands
(2016-08-11)Pretensioned concrete girders are currently fabricated using 0.5- or 0.6-in. diameter prestressing strands. In recent years, however, it has become of interest to employ larger-diameter 0.7-in. diameter strands to reduce ... -
Photoswitchable europium complexes for application in photo-activated localization microscopy
(2016-09-20)Bisthienylethenes (BTEs) are a family of photoswitches that has received great interest the past decade on account of the potential for incorporation into a variety of applications (memory devices, molecular imagining, ... -
