Assessment Of Stress/volume-controlled Soil-water Retention Properties Of Unsaturated Sandy Soils.
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-10-22)
The main objectives of this work are to determine the effect of net normal stress and volume change on the soil-water retention properties of silty sand and clayey sand soils under stressed/volume-controlled conditions; ...
Evaluation Of Building Information Modeling Applications For Small Construction Companies
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-07-14)
This thesis concerns developing recommendations to help small construction company's transition from traditional two dimensional plans to a Building Information Modeling (BIM) management process. Due to the cost of ...
Design Of Controlled Low Strength Material For Bedding And Backfilling Using High Plasticity Clay
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Flowable fill or Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM) is a self-compacted cementitious material used in the field in the place of compacted fill. It is also known as unshrinkable fill, controlled density fill, flowable ...
Effect Of Nano Zero Valent Iron On Degradation Of Municipal Solid Waste In Bioreactor Landfills
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Nanotechnology has substantial potential for reducing contamination, toxicity and overall human health hazards and environmental risks. In recent times, nano zero valent iron has proved to be effective in contaminant ...
Water Permeability In Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FPR)-wrapped Concrete
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
A finite element analysis is performed using ANSYS software to analyze progress of water and its circulation in FRP wrapped concrete. This paper presents the modeling of water diffusion in FRP. Finite element programs do ...
The Effects Of Climate, Soil, And Vegetation On The Design Of Water Balance Covers For Solid Waste Landfills In Texas
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of climate, soil, and vegetation on the design of water balance (WB) covers for solid waste landfills in Texas. This study was conducted using water balance software ...
Resilient Properties Of Unsaturated Base Materials
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
A pavement system basically consists of a surface layer, a base course, a subbase (optional) and the subgrade. As per MEPDG and 1993 AASHTO flexible pavement design guide Resilient Modulus (MR) is used as the primary input ...
Qualitative Evaluation Of Transportation Construction Related Social Costs And Their Impacts On The Local Community
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Although construction is valuable after completion, it can cause many disturbances throughout the duration of the project. These negative impacts, such as economic losses and annoyances, which face the community surrounding ...
An Investigation Of Pipe Jacking Loads In Trenchless Technology
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Pipe jacking is a trenchless technology method of installing pipes under existing facilities such as roads and railroads. Predicting jacking forces is important for planning, design, and construction phases of these projects. ...
Selecting A Shaft/pit Construction Method For Trenchless Technology
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
The word shaft describes a vertical access point that is created by excavating, vertical boring, or blasting required before the start of tunneling or boring operations. Most trenchless technologies require entry shafts ...
