Settlement Analysis Of Drilled Shaft Foundation On Natural And Lime-treated Compressible Clayey Soil
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
Drilled shaft foundations are primarily used to support structures such as bridge piers, buildings, and transmission towers. The main advantage of a drilled shaft foundation is that it transfers loads to the stronger ...
Spatial Variability Models And Prediction Analysis Of Soil Properties Using Geostatistics
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
Soils are composed of solid, water and air phases whose characteristics are highly variable. The interactions of these phases in the soil matrix can lead to different types of topographical formations and characteristics. ...
Evaluation Of Lightweight Geofoam For Mitigating Bridge Approach Slab Settlements
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
The bump at the end of a bridge infrastructure is one of the frequent problems found in Texas and other states. Transportation agencies spend millions of dollars annually to repair the bump problem. The major cause of the ...
Condition Assessment Of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Strengthening Of Bridge Components
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) is a newly developed composite type of material which have many advantages over conventional materials (concrete and steel) like light weight, non-corrosive nature, design flexibility and ...
Variability Of As-constructed Properties Of HMA And Their Relation To Pay Factors And Rutting Resistance: A Case Study
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
During the last decade, Texas has under gone a huge reconstruction of its major and strategic highways in order to improve transportation and prepare for future population and traffic growth. The population is estimated ...
Effects Of Corn Mill Waste On Municipal Solid Waste Degradation In Bioreactor Landfills
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
The Enhanced Leachate Recirculation (ELR) landfills is a sustainable disposal system of waste which facilitates faster degradation of waste, more gas generation in a short period of time, rapid waste stabilization along ...
Adsorption Of Metals In Flu-gas Desulfurization Wastewater By Iron-impergnated Activated Carbon
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
The combustion of coal releases flue gases into the atmosphere. The flue gas has very high concentrations of Sox. Flue gas desulfurization technologies are installed in almost all the coal fired power plants to treat the ...
Development Of Linear Regression Model For Predicting Water Quality Parameters From Anaerobic Treatment Of Vinasse
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
One of the most prominent biofuels today is ethanol. The production of ethanol from biomass, whether from sugar crops, starch crops, dairy products, or cellulosic materials, results in the production of a high-strength ...
Estimation Of Optimum Compaction Level For Bioreactor Landfill Operation
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
The effect of compaction on the degradation of MSW is important for the successful operation of bioreactor landfill. It has been a general tendency to compact working face solid waste as much as possible to gain more space. ...
Strength And Stiffness Characteristics Of Lime Stabilized Soil In A Flexible Pavement Design
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-07-14)
Lime treatment has proven to be a useful tool for stabilizing expansive soils. Expansive soils cause major damage to flexible and rigid pavements every year, since seasonal changes in soil moisture creates cyclical changes ...
