    An evaluation of bonding agents used in concrete bridge reconstruction
    (University of New Brunswick, 1991) McInnis, Gary; McKim, R.; A., McKim
    This senior report evaluates the effect of bonding agents used to bond together the fresh concrete layer to the repaired concrete surface . The bonding Agent evaluated in this report is Sicadur 32 HI-MOD a two part epoxy structural adhesive.lt was evaluated using the ASTM C-2 34 1986 for comparing bond development of concretes, varying only the bonding conditions instead of concrete type. The results of the testing show a marginal increase in bond development with an epoxy bonding agent used for immediate pour ,and when recoated after a 24hr hardening time. Form the results of this report it can be concluded that Bonding agents marginally increase bond development if used under proper conditions , but will decrease the bond development, if applied improperly.

    Computer cost optimization design
    (University of New Brunswick, 1991) DeWinter, Durck; McKim, R.; A., McKim
    The purpose of this report is to demonstrate the application of a cost optimization program for a prismatic concrete beam in flexure. The main body of the report will provide the reader with general explanation of what the program does and how it accomplishes it. A detailed explanation of the program will be provided in the appendices. The report will introduce a description of the logic used to cost optimize, an example problem, and areas where the program can be improved.
