Non-linear Finite Element Dynamic Analysis Of The Effect Of Compaction On Underground Conduits
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Construction loads are an important but often overlooked factor in underground pipe design and installation. Common compaction equipments used in pipeline construction can be a major contributor to pipe damage. To reduce ...
Evaluation Of Trenchless Renewal Methods For Potable Water Distribution Pipes
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Undoubtedly, potable water pipes, as part of an underground infrastructure system, play a key role in maintaining quality of life, health and well being of human kind. As these potable water pipes reach the end of their ...
Characterization And Evaluation Of Gas Generation Potential Of Municipal Solid Waste From A Closed Section Of A Landfill
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
At present, there are more than 40 closed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills around DFW and North Texas. A closed landfill might have potential benefits for gas recovery and utilization due to the presence of organic ...
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 ...
Effect Of Stress And Suction Histories Dynamic Properties Of Statically Compacted Silty Sand
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
This paper is devoted to the analysis of the experimental study whose intent is to find the effect of the stress/suction history on the dynamic properties of silty sand subjected to small- to mid-strains. The practical ...
Evaluation Of Building Information Modeling (BIM) For Water Transmission Pipelines
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
In the construction industry, water transmission pipelines projects typically require two-dimensional drawings for transferring design data to the field. These drawings are referred as construction documents and serve as ...
