Development Of A Model Of Productivity For Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a growing method for installation of pipes in urban areas and where ever trenching is impossible or undesirable; such as in crossing rivers, lakes, and railways, and special areas ...
A Non-invasive Assessment Of Moisture Content Of Municipal Solid Waste In A Landfill Using Resistivity Imaging
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
A bioreactor landfill is operated to enhance waste decomposition, gas production, and refuse stabilization. The fundamental aspect in the operation of a bioreactor landfill is the controlled addition of water and/or the ...
Unsaturated Soil Behavior Under Large Deformations Using A Fully Servo/suction-controlled Ring Shear Apparatus
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-07-14)
In recent years, the key hypotheses of most elasto-plastic constitutive frameworks postulated for unsaturated soils have been validated via suction-controlled oedometer, triaxial, and direct shear testing. These techniques, ...
Nano-modified Cement Composites And Its Applicability As Concrete Repair Material
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Nanotechnology or Nano-science, considered the forth industrial revolution, has received considerable attention in the past decade. The physical properties of a nano-scaled material are entirely different than that of bulk ...
On The Effects Of The Circular Bolt Pattern On The Behavior Of The Extended End-plate Connection
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
This study is pioneer in introducing the circular bolt pattern configuration in extended end-plate steel connections. Discovering the static and cyclic behavior of such connections is at the forefront of this research ...
Design Of Short Drilled Shaft Foundations In High-plasticity Clay Under Inclined Loading
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Drilled shaft foundations are primarily used to support structures such as bridge piers, towers, buildings, transmission towers, and roadway cable barriers. Generally, the main characteristics of drilled shafts are to ...
Pseudo-probabilistic User Equilibrium Assignment In Travel Corridor Networks Containing Managed Facilities
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Throughout the years, transportation organizations and agencies have been unable to keep up with increasing demand for roadway facilities. Similarly, traditional public-sector funding such as motor fuel taxes is falling ...
Performance-based Plastic Design Of Earthquake Resistant Steel Structures: Concentrically Braced Frames, Tall Moment Frames, Plate Shear Wall Frames
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-03-03)
It is well known that structures designed by current codes experience large inelastic deformations during major earthquakes. However, current seismic design practice in the U.S. is based on elastic structural behavior and ...
Comprehensive Studies On Deep Soil Mixing And Lightweight Aggregates Applications To Mitigate Approach Slab Settlements
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Bridge approach settlement is a common problem to the Transportation Departments nationwide. This uneven transition causes inconvenience to passengers and increases the cost of maintenance and repair of the distressed ...
