Static Flexural Behaviour Of Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer Composite Beam: An Alternative Railway Sleeper, Wahid Ferdous Jul 2012

Static Flexural Behaviour Of Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer Composite Beam: An Alternative Railway Sleeper, Wahid Ferdous

Wahid Ferdous

These days, the most commonly used materials for railway sleepers are timber, concrete and steel. High maintenance cost, installation issues, deterioration of materials, and environmental considerations are among the factors that prompt research and industry to seek a different and more efficient system. This research was undertaken with the aim of developing a material for sleepers which may overcome some of these problems. Through a comprehensive survey of the literature, it was decided to propose and investigate a sleeper system composed of fly ash-based geopolymer concrete and pultruded FRP profile composites. Although the engineering properties of fly ash-based geopolymer concrete …

At the present, a large proportion of our nation's bridges and roadways are falling into disrepair. About 27.5% of U.S. bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete (ASCE, 2001, 2003). Nondestructive testing methods, such as GPR, are becoming more and more important in diagnosing the condition of such concrete structures. GPR is a high-resolution electromagnetic technique used to investigate the immediate subsurface of the earth, building materials, roads, and bridges. This poster shows my work in GPR modeling during a summer undergraduate experience through CenSSIS. A specialized MATLAB toolbox designed by Kim Belli created all data presented here. The use …
