Development Of Traffic Inputs For The Mechanistic-empirical Pavement Design Guide In New York State
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Proper characterization of traffic data is a prerequisite for the determination of appropriate traffic inputs to Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). The development of proper traffic inputs helps reflect ...
Determining The Effectiveness Of Chlorine-based Biofilm Control On The Friction Factors Of Large Diameter Pipelines In Raw Water
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Large diameter transmission mains pumping raw water experience capacity loss during the summer months due to the growth of biofilm. The loss of capacity impacts power costs at a time when power is obtained at a premium. ...
Improving Analysis Of Heavy To Extreme Precipitation Using Conditional Bias-penalized Optimal Estimation
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-03-10)
Precipitation estimation is a very important topic from the societal perspective as heavy precipitation can cause flooding from which loss of lives and damage to properties can occur. In current practice, a number of spatial ...
