Resilient Moduli Properties Of Compacted Unsaturated Subgrade Materials
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
According to the new Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) and 1993 AASHTO flexible pavement design guide, Resilient Modulus (MR) has been used extensively as an important material property in structure design ...
Development Of Finite Element Model For Analysis Of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe-embedded Cylinder Pipe With Experimental Comparison
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP) is a composite pipe that consists ofconcrete and steel, which has layers of concrete core, steel cylinder, prestressing wire andmortar coating. PCCP is generally constructed of two ...
Effects Of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Wrap On Reducing Chloride Penetration In Concrete
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-07-22)
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of FRP wrap on reducing chloride penetration in concrete. It has been established that FRP wrap used to retrofit concrete structures offer a high resistance to ...
Performance Evaluation And Finite Element Analysis Of Fiber Reinforced Precast Concrete Underground Structures
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
This study aimed at evaluating the performance of BASF Synthetic and Steel fibers as alternative reinforcements in concrete pipes. A total of 93 synthetic fiber and 60 steel fiber reinforced pipes were produced and tested ...
Ensemble Streamflow Forecasting For The Upper Trinity River Basin In Texas
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-10-22)
By allowing for routine use of longer-lead quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF) in hydrologic prediction, ensemble forecasting offers hope for extending the lead time for short-range streamflow forecasting. In this ...
Effect Of Saline Water On Landfill Gas Generation Of Municipal Solid Waste
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
The Enhanced Leachate Recirculation (ELR) landfills operation results in rapid waste stabilization, waste decomposition and increased rate of gas generation. However, operating landfill as an ELR landfill requires availability ...
Engineering Characteristics Of Recyled Plastic Pin, Lumber And Bamboo For Soil Slope Stabilization
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Shallow slope failures are predominant in North Texas and pose a significant maintenance problem. The traditional slope repair and stabilization techniques become expensive in some instances with direct costs associated ...
Application Of Ellipse For Horizontal Alignment
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
In highway design, horizontal alignments provide directional transition of roadways. Three categories of horizontal transition curves are simple circular curves, compound circular curves, and spiral circular curves. Compound ...
Effect Of Suction On Dynamic Properties Of Unsaturated Soils At Mid- To High-shear Strain Amplitudes
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-10-22)
This paper presents the results from an experimental study that has been designed to assess the effect of the suction and net mean stress on the dynamic properties of poorly graded sand with silt subjected to small- to ...
Assessment And Rating Of Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls have been increasingly utilized in the United States since 1972 and in Texas since 1979. MSE walls provide earth retention for commercial, industrial and transportation projects ...
