Dynamic Chracteristics And Stability Analysis Of Muncipal Solid Waste In Bioreactor Landfills
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-09-19)
Bioreactor landfills are operated to enhance refuse decomposition, gas production, and waste stabilization. The major aspect of bioreactor landfill operation is the recirculation of generated leachate back through the ...
Life Cycle Assessment Of Bio-material Stabilized Expansive Soils
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Pavement cracking is one of the major maintenance works that requires millions of dollars in repair costs annually. Pavement cracks are formed due to moisture and temperature fluctuations in the soil. Stabilization of ...
Effects Of A Debonding Flaw Size And Location On The Flexural Performance Of CFRP Retrofitted Steel Sections
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-10-08)
In US there are several thousand steel bridges at present. Out of them many bridges are at various level of advance deteriorations due to many years of service life and environmental factors. These bridges cannot be fully ...
Investigation Of Bamboo As Reinforcement In Concrete
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This study investigated the feasibility of using bamboo as a reinforcement alternative to steel in concrete structural members. The specifications studied were the bamboo's tensile strength and its pullout characteristics ...
Clay Mineralogy Effects On Long-term Performance Of Chemically Treated Expansive Clays
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Stabilization of expansive soils using chemical additives such as cement and lime had been in use for several decades and these treatments provide riding comforts to travelers. However, many state Departments of Transportation ...
Roadway Shallow Water Flow Modeling By Velocity Distribution
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-09-17)
Manning's equation is a widely used method for determining flow discharge in a channel with unconfined gravity flow. The roughness value, n-value, is a critical factor for Manning equation to obtain the accurate amount of ...
The Effect Of Temperature On Fiber Composite Bridge Decks
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-08-08)
The use of Fiber composite honeycomb structure's as bridge decks gained importance, because of its low light weight and ease of installation.
In this study, The Fiber composite bridge decks were subjected to thermal ...
Laboratory And Field Investigations To Address Erosion, Volume Change And Desiccation Cracking Of Compost Amended Expansive Subsoils
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Desiccations cracks are formed during drying process of fine grained cohesive soils in summer and these cracks often appear on unpaved subgrades due to direct exposure to sun. These cracks allow surface runoff infiltration ...
Non-linear Finite Element Dynamic Analysis Of Tapered Hollow Steel Poles For Passive Base Isolation
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-08-08)
Long tapered poles are commonly used to support Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Cameras for security and traffic monitoring. Images received from CCTV are normally distorted depending on the wind induced vibration ...
Performance Of Large Scale Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Deep Beam With Single Opening Under Monotonic Loading
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The design of complex, discontinuous stress trajectory regions (D-regions) is complex in natureand cumbersome to design. The performance of a large scale steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC)deep beam with single opening ...
