Neural network and analytical modeling of slope stability.
(2002)
A semi-analytical method is developed for analysis of slope stability involving cohesive and non-cohesive soils. For sandy slopes, a planar slip surface is employed. For clayey slopes, circular slip surfaces are employed ...
Dual-porosity approach to wellbore stability in naturally fractured reservoirs.
(2002)
The naturally fractured reservoir was treated as a dual-porosity medium consisting of the primary rock matrix system and the fractured system. Assuming the matrix and fractures in the fractured medium to be 'separate and ...
Investigating the need for and effect of air entrainment in high performance concrete.
(2002)
The use of high performance concrete (HPC) in exterior structures has increased in recent years. Its increased strength and durability make HPC very appealing to the prestressed concrete industry, particularly in bridge ...
Impact of physiological state and macro-nutrient ratio on microbial surface thermodynamics and transport.
(2002)
As both deposition and retardation occur during bacterial transport, the deposition coefficient and retardation factor have been widely used individually in describing the transport of bacteria through porous media. Rijnaarts ...
Anisotropic poromechanics of the wellbore coupled with thermal and chemical gradients.
(2002)
A generalized anisotropic porothermoelastic formulation incorporating fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical response of saturated porous media is developed. Governing equations are tailored for transversely isotropic media ...
Titanium dioxide aerogels as photocatalysts for indoor air decontamination.
(2002)
Reducing air pollution, specifically volatile organic compounds, has become an increasing concern for the public, environmental protection organizations, and governmental agencies. One method for destroying air contaminants ...
