Development Of A Model For Estimation Of Buried Large Diameter Thin-walled Steel Pipe Deflection Due To External Loads
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Design of buried pipeline systems involves solution of geotechnical and structural problems in addition to the hydraulics and mechanical issues. Just like any buried structure, it is of utmost importance to understand how ...
Investigations To Develop Field Stabilization Methods To Mitigate Surficial Slope Failures
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Surficial slope failures induced by rainfall have been studied for many years. Current research supported by The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is undertaken at the University of Texas at Arlington on two ...
Development Of A Flexible Pavement Design Procedure Based On The Mechanistic - Empirical Pavement Design Guide: A Case Study
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
This research developed design tables of new flexible pavement structures for New York State Department of Transportation based on the Mechanistic Empirical Design Guide (MEPDG). The design tables were developed using the ...
Degradation Of Triclosan By Sulfate Radicals Generated By Metal-mediated Activation Of Oxidants
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
The presence of persistent and toxic compounds, especially pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in water resources has generated considerable scientific, regulatory, and public interests, requiring the ...
SWCC And Clay Mineralogy Based Models For Realistic Simulation Of Swell Behavior Of Expansive Soils
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Predicting the volume change behavior of expansive soils has been a major challenge to the engineers in the past few years, due to the intricate couple effects caused by different soil composition parameters toward swelling. ...
An Improved Model For Predicting Methane Emissions From Landfills Based On Rainfall, Ambient Temperature And Waste Composition
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Accurately estimating the emissions of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in a landfill is important for quantifying its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and power generation potential. Previous studies have shown that ...
Modeling Leachate BOD And COD Using Lab-scale Reactor Landfills And Multiple Linear Regression Analysis
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
The increasing production of municipal solid waste is a direct consequence of the continuous growth of the world's population and economy. This fact makes protecting the environment against contamination by different kinds ...
Hydraulic Performance Evaluation Of Different Recirculation Systems For ELR / bioreactor Landfills
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-07-22)
The major aspect of bioreactor landfill is the addition of liquid and recirculation of collected leachate back into the waste mass through the subsurface Leachate Recirculation System (LRS). The leachate recirculation ...
Geohazard Potential Of Rainfall Induced Slope Failure On Expansive Clay
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Each year, rain induced slope failures cause significant damages in highway infrastructures and environments, as well as tragic losses of human lives around the world. Rainfall-induced slope failure is a common problem in ...
Development Of Statistical Models For Predicting Leachate Parameters From Simulated Landfills
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-10-22)
Leachate generation and management is recognized as one of the greatest problems associated with environmentally sound operation of landfills, as leachate can cause major pollution problems to surrounding soil, ground ...
