    • Research Brief: A break-even hazard mitigation metric 

      Miller, T. Reed; Gregory, Jeremy; Kirchain, Randy (2017-01-12)
      CSHub researchers developed the Break Even Mitigation Percent (BEMP) to answer the question: “How much should be invested in mitigation for a particular building?”

    • Research Brief: Minimizing Thermal Cracks in Concrete Pavements 

      Louhghalam, Arghavan; Ulm, Franz-Josef; Petersen, Thomas (2017-01-12)
      This brief examines the risk of fracture of concrete pavements due to thermal cycles. CSHub researchers model the risk of fracture due to temperature changes and propose a method for estimating the risk of thermal cracking ...

    • Research Brief: Examining Freeze-Thaw Damage at the Microscopic Scale 

      Zhou, Edmond; Bazant, Martin Z.; Pellenq, Roland Jm (2017-01-12)
      Researchers conducted both theoretical and numerical studies on the microscopic phenomena in cement paste pores to reveal the important roles that ions and electrolytes play in freeze-thaw damage.
