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 ...

Role Of Coarse Soil Fraction On Resilient Moduli Properties Of Clayey Soil
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-07-14)
As one of the major methods of soil stabilization used in the present, mechanical stabilization improves a native soil by admixing a coarse and/or fine material. This method of soil stabilization aims to reach a composition ...
Development Of The Duplicate Shear Test For Asphalt Mixtures
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2015)
Permanent shear deformation is the main cause of rutting in asphalt concrete layers. Therefore, the determination of the shear properties of asphalt mixtures is helpful for predicting the rutting in asphalt pavement ...
Potential Applicability Of Stress Wave Velocity Method On Pavement Base Materials As A Non-destructive Testing Technique
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2015)
Aggregates derived from natural sources have been used traditionally as the pavement base materials. But in recent times, the extraction of these natural aggregates has be-come more labor intensive and costly due to resource ...
An Investigation Of Durability And Reliability Of HDPE Pipe For Large Diameter Water Transmission Applications
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
The drinking water infrastructure in the North America requires a durable and reliable water transmission pipe material. Thus, it is important to study pipe performance, so that water utilities can benefit from cost-effective ...
