The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a neutrino experiment under construction, with a near detector at Fermilab and a far detector at the Sanford Underground Research Facility that will observe neutrinos produced at Fermilab. An intense beam of trillions of neutrinos from the production facility at Fermilab (in Illinois) will be ...
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is an accelerator-based neutron source facility in the U.S. that provides the most intense pulsed neutron beams in the world for scientific research and industrial development. [1] Each year, the facility hosts hundreds of researchers from universities, national laboratories, and industry, who conduct basic ...
IceCube Neutrino Observatory. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory (or simply IceCube) is a neutrino observatory developed by the University of Wisconsin–Madison and constructed at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica. [1] The project is a recognized CERN experiment (RE10). [2][3] Its thousands of sensors are located under the ...
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is a scientific user facility for nuclear science, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC), Michigan State University (MSU), and the State of Michigan. Michigan State University contributed an additional $212 million in various ways, including the land.
Buckling is a failure mode in pavement materials, primarily with concrete, since asphalt is more flexible. Radiant heat from the sun is absorbed in the road surface, causing it to expand, forcing adjacent pieces to push against each other. If the stress is sufficient, the pavement can lift and crack without warning.
Rigid frame. In structural engineering, a rigid frame is the load-resisting skeleton constructed with straight or curved members interconnected by predominantly rigid connections, which resist movements induced at the joints of members. Its members can resist bending moment, shear, and axial loads.
Beam (structure) A statically determinate beam, bending (sagging) under a uniformly distributed load. A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally across the beam's axis (an element designed to carry a load pushing parallel to its axis would be a strut or column). Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending ...
Arching action forces in beam and slab bridge deck The strength enhancing effects of arching action in reinforced concrete floors were first recognised near the beginning of last century. [ 1 ] However, it was not until the full scale destructive load tests by Ockleston [ 2 ] [ 3 ] on the Old Dental Hospital in Johannesburg that the extent of ...
