Measured And Theoretical Response Of Perpetual Pavement Structures
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)The Kansas Perpetual Pavement experiment includes the construction of four pavement sections on the US-75 highway designed according to the perpetual pavement concept. The sections were instrumented with strain gauges and ... -
Measurement of Emissions from a Passenger Truck Fueled with Biodiesel from Different Feedstocks
(Scientific Research PublishingDepartment of Civil Engineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2013-08)Biodiesel has generated increased interest recently as an alternative to petroleum-derived diesel. Due to its high oxygen content, biodiesel typically burns more completely than petroleum diesel, and thus has lower emissions ... -
Measurement of Thermal Conductivity Function of Unsaturated Soil Using a Transient Water Release and Imbibition Method
(ASTM International, 2014-09-19)**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Thermal conductivity of unsaturated soil depends on soil water content and soil type. A transient water release and imbibition method (TRIM) is modified to include ... -
MECHANICAL RESPONSE OF CHEMICALLY TREATED SULFATE-RICH CLAY UNDER MULTIPLE TRIAXIAL STRESS PATH
(2021-07-21)Expansive clayey soils, which are abundant in arid and semi-arid areas, including the state of Texas, can lead to excessive distress in pavements, foundations, embankments, earth retaining systems and other civil infrastructure ... -
MEDIUM-RANGE ENSEMBLE PRECIPITATION AND STREAMFLOW FORECASTING FOR THE UPPER TRINITY RIVER BASIN IN TEXAS VIA THE NWS HYDROLOGIC ENSEMBLE FORECAST SERVICE
(2015-12-08)Compared to forecasts of short-term precipitation accumulations (daily or shorter) at lead times larger than a few days, those of longer-term accumulations (3-daily or longer) are significantly more skillful owing to the ... -
MERGING RADAR-ONLY QPE AND RAIN GAUGE DATA VIA CONDITIONAL BIAS-PENALIZED OPTIMAL ESTIMATION
(2015-12-08)A new technique for merging radar precipitation estimates and rain gauge data is developed and evaluated to improve multisensor quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE). Various types of linear and nonlinear techniques ... -
METHANE OXIDATION POTENTIAL OF UNCOMPOSTED YARD WASTE AS A LANDFILL BIOCOVER
(2018-12-18)Biocovers are widely used in landfills to oxidize emissions of the greenhouse gas methane. Biocovers used till date are fully or partially made of composts. Compost takes time and effort to create, and costs about $10 per ... -
MICROPLASTIC RISK CHARACTERIZATION OF PLASTIC ROAD
(2022-12)In recent past, the act of waste recycling has been diversified in manifolds across the world leading to evolution of newer recycling technique and fresh recycled product. Albeit plastic is one of those waste materials ... -
Mode Choice Models For Long Distance Travel In USA
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)The influences of technology and economic development on human activity are increasingly taking place on larger spatial scales. As a consequence, complementary interactions between urban regions are getting stronger, which ... -
Model Development for User Behavior While Adopting Autonomous Vehicles as Their On-Demand Transportation Mode
(2022-08-15)Shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) are a new technology that allows passengers to skip hailing a cab using a smartphone app to summon an autonomous shuttle that does not require a human operator. SAVs are anticipated to ... -
