Development of an AASHTO Guide Specification for UHPC

open access: yesSecond International Interactive Symposium on UHPC, 2019
The widespread, growing interest in the United States in using ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) in engineered structures is being hindered by a lack of structural design guidance relevant to this class of materials. The material characteristics that form the foundational inputs for existing reinforced concrete design specifications do not ...

Modified vehicle lighting reduces wildlife collision risk by enhancing deer and wild pig avoidance responses at night

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Generally, LED headlights had neutral or beneficial effects on wildlife responses, suggesting they could reduce collisions given the increased illumination levels they provide drivers. Additionally, our results support previous research indicating increased frontal vehicle illumination can reduce dangerous encounters with wildlife. Our findings suggest

Integrated VES–ERI–MASW‐Geotechnical Investigation for Building Foundation Site Suitability at the Proposed Wachemo University Referral Hospital, Hosanna, Central Ethiopia

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Integrated VES, ERI, and MASW surveys, constrained by boreholes, delineate a central low‐resistivity/low‐V s weak corridor and more competent volcanic strata at depth. The eastern sector offers preferable foundation conditions, while identified weak zones require ground improvement or deep foundations to mitigate differential‐settlement risk.

Opportunities for the U.S. Geological Survey's National Seismic Hazard Model to Improve Seismic Risk Assessment of Critical Infrastructure

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
As fragility and risk modeling techniques and computational capabilities evolve, complemented by moving toward more routine and systematic seismic risk assessment of all buildings and critical infrastructure, the authors pose a few critical questions to investigate how the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Models (NSHMs) can be used

Numerical Investigation of Bored Tunnelling Effects on Pile‐Supported Superstructures

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 7, Page 3155-3173, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Tunnelling in urban environments can significantly affect existing buried structures such as pile foundations. However, the current understanding of how tunnelling‐induced ground movements influence the stability and serviceability of piles remains limited. This knowledge gap presents potential risks that must be addressed during tunnel design

Alternatives to the Current AASHTO Standard Bridge Sections [PDF]

open access: yesPCI Journal, 1997
The main objective of this study was evaluate feasible alternatives to the current AASHTO bridge girders used in Indiana. This evaluation included precast pretensioned bridge girders for spans from 30 to 130 feet with girder spacing between 5 and 10 feet up to 12 feet for the longer spans.

Toward a more inclusive conservation actions classification: Lessons from restoration practice and conservation social science

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
The Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation and the associated Conservation Actions Classification 2.0 serve as important and widely used tools to plan, implement, and monitor projects. Drawing a research effort that used the CAC 2.0 as a classification tool to synthesize the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's thousands of projects, this ...
