A perspective on Darcy's law across the scales: from physical foundations to particulate mechanics
(2022)This paper puts forward a perspective or opinion that we can demonstrate Darcy’s law is valid at any scale where fluid can be modeled/analyzed as a continuum. Darcy’s law describes the flow of a fluid through a porous ... -
A Transfer Learning-Based Framework for Enriching National Household Travel Survey Data with Attitudinal Variables
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-06)Often in practice, the problem of unavailability of specific desired knowledge within one (“target”) dataset arises. However, if this knowledge can be extracted from a different (“source”) dataset and transferred between ... -
Experimental and Analytical Investigations of Doubly Symmetric Built-Up I-Girders with Large Moment Gradient Factors
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-05-03)Recent computational studies have shown that the current AISC Design Specifications (2016) overpredict the flexural resistance of certain built-up I-girders. The largest reductions were observed in I-girders subjected to ... -
STRUCTURAL TESTING OF NON-PROPRIETARY UHPC FOR CLOSURE POURS BETWEEN PRECAST BRDIGE DECK PANELS
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-05-03)Many bridges in the United States are in need of some sort of rehabilitation, repair, or replacement. However, the three broad solutions mentioned are expensive both in their direct and indirect costs. In order to help ... -
Fracture and Residual Capacity of Steel Bolted Connections Subjected to Singular and Consecutive Impulsive Loads
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-05-03)Civil structures may be subjected to high-magnitude, short-duration loads in scenarios such as weapons attacks or accidental explosions. Both during and after an impulse, the integrity of a structure is dependent on the ... -
Accelerated assessment of candidate supplementary cementitious materials using statistics and machine learning
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-04-14)The supply of the most traditional supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) used in concrete is not expected to keep up with demand in the coming years. To combat this problem, a wider range of both naturally occurring ... -
Re-Think the Streets: An Evaluation of Green Street Practices as a Method to Achieve Combined Sewer Separation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-04-19)Older cities across the United States have been grappling with how to mitigate stormwater for decades. The ongoing trend of land development coupled with the heightened frequency and intensity of storm events has necessitated ... -
Symmetry-adapted density functional theory
