LANDFILL VOLUME GAIN FROM THE DIVERSION OF CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE
(2015-12-09)
Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste is one of the major components of the solid waste and is defined as a waste stream resulting from the construction, renovation and demolition of structures such as buildings, roads, ...
SLOPE STABILIZATION AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING OF I-35 AND SH-183 SLOPES USING RECYCLED PLASTIC PINS
(2015-12-01)
The United States earth retaining structure market exceeds 170 million square feet annually and there are over 50 different retaining systems to select from which are unique in design and construction. Depending on the ...
Characterization and comparison of fresh and landfilled solid waste
(2015-12-07)
The understanding of the characteristics of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is very important in planning, designing and operating and/or upgrading the landfill operation system. It is well anticipated that the fresh MSW will ...
ESTIMATION OF REBAR CORROSION IN CONCRETE USING GROUND PENETRATING RADAR
(2015-12-15)
The purpose of this research was to quantitatively relate the amount of rebar corrosion in concrete with the amplitude of electromagnetic waves generated from Ground penetrating radar (GPR). Many studies have been undertaken ...
Experimental Study On Seismic Performance Of Reinforced Concrete Coupling Beams And Rectangular Squat Walls With Innovative Reinforcement Configurations
(2015-12-08)
Reinforced concrete core walls, coupled by diagonally reinforced coupling beams (DCBs), are a very efficient seismic force resisting system for medium- to high-rise buildings. The diagonal reinforcing bars in DCBs are most ...
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 ...
Feasibility of Underground Freight Transportation (UFT) in Texas
(2015-12-17)
The U.S. economy is expected to double in size over the next 30 years. Truck and rail freight traffic is expected to increase by approximately 45 percent. Air freight is expected to triple in response to demand for the ...
Improving the Rainfall and Flood Frequency Analyses Using Stochastic Storm Transposition Method
(2015-12-14)
Reproduction and realization of historical rainfall events provides foundations for flood and rainfall frequency analyses and the advancement of meteorological studies. Stochastic storm transposition (SST) is a method for ...
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 ...
Effect Of Termite Gut Microbe TAV5 On Methane Production From Municipal Solid Waste Degradation
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2015)
Methane from anaerobic processes is being increasingly utilized as an alternative energy source in developed countries, via large projects that extract methane from landfills or wastewater treatment plants. Anaerobic ...
