Impact Behavior of Sustainable Sandwich Panels with Flax FRP Faces and Cardboard Cores

Structural sandwich panels have been shown to be effective for use as building cladding materials due to their low weight and high relative strength and stiffness. To increase the sustainability of these panels natural and ...

Theory, tools, and multidisciplinary applications for tracing groundwater fluxes from temperature profiles

Kurylyk BL, Irvine DJ, Bense VF. 2019. Theory, tools, and multidisciplinary applications for tracing groundwater fluxes from temperature profiles. WIREs Water, 6(1): e1329. DOI: 10.1002/wat2.1329

Quantifying groundwater fluxes to and from deep aquifers or shallow sediment is a critical task faced by researchers and practitioners from many environmental science disciplines including hydrology, hydrogeology, ecology, ...

Performance of High-Modulus Near-Surface-Mounted FRP Laminates for Strengthening of Concrete Columns

Khorramian, Koosha, Sadeghian, Pedram. 2019. Performance of High-Modulus Near-Surface-Mounted FRP Laminates for Strengthening of Concrete Columns. Composites Part B: Engineering, 164(90-102) https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesb.2018.11.064

This study investigates the performance of high-modulus near-surface-mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates in strengthening of existing concrete columns. The focus of this study is on the compressive and ...

Rethinking the use of seabed sediment temperature profiles to trace submarine groundwater flow

Submarine groundwater fluxes across the seafloor facilitate important hydrological and biogeochemical exchanges between oceans and seabed sediment, yet few studies have investigated spatially distributed groundwater fluxes ...

Snowmelt infiltration and macropore flow in frozen soils: overview, knowledge gaps, and a conceptual framework

Mohammed, A. A., B. L. Kurylyk, E. E. Cey, and M. Hayashi. 2018. Snowmelt Infiltration and Macropore Flow in Frozen Soils: Overview, Knowledge Gaps, and a Conceptual Framework. Vadose Zone J. 17:180084. doi:10.2136/vzj2018.04.0084

Macropore flow in frozen soils plays a critical role in partitioning snowmelt at the land surface and modulating snowmelt-driven hydrological processes. Previous descriptions of macropore flow processes in frozen soil do ...

Partial-Composite Behavior of Sandwich Beams Composed of Fiberglass Facesheets and Woven Fabric Core

McCracken, Aidan, Sadeghian, Pedram. (2018). Partial-composite behavior of sandwich beams composed of fiberglass facesheets and woven fabric core. Thin-Walled Structures: 131, 805-815. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tws.2018.08.003

In this study, thin-walled sandwich composites made of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) facesheets and a three-dimensional (3D) woven fabric core were studied. A total of 30 small-scale sandwich beam specimens were ...
