MIT Infrastructure Innovation in a Changing Environment Conference - Fri, Nov. 20, 2015

Submitted by Markus J. Buehler on

Hosted by the MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in collaboration with the MIT Industrial Liaisons Program (ILP), Infrastructure Innovation in a Changing Environment will explore new economic opportunities and market-driven responses to the challenges facing large-scale infrastructure projects.

Thermite Weld Property!

Submitted by Yal on

Hey all, I am making an educational research on rail-welds, prediction of fatigue life of a thermite weld. and I used Abaqus and FRANC3D for my model but I couldn't get the modules of elasticity, the poissones ratio and the density of the weld from literatures and from codes as well, if there is any with this referrable literature and/or standard i will be so excited.

Thanks,
