Development and analysis of algorithmic improvements for the ADCIRC hydrodynamic model.
(2005)
This work addresses enhancements to the popular shallow water model, ADCIRC, ADvanced three-dimensional CIRCulation model. The shallow water equations (SWE) are based on conservation of mass and momentum and can be used ...
Axial load capacity of cold-formed steel sections.
(2006)
Cold-formed steel strut purlins are important compression members in metal building wind bracing systems. They are generally located under the roof panel either in the braced bay or between the end wall and the first ...
Coupled modeling of the air quality impacts of chemical depainting agents released from an industrial wastewater treatment facility.
(2001)
Coupling of an appropriate source emissions model and an atmospheric dispersion model represents a cost-effective and environmentally-responsible approach for meeting impact prediction and regulatory reporting requirements, ...
Expert system for evaluation of nutrient pollution potential in groundwater from land application of manure.
(2004)
In recent years, groundwater contamination from animal husbandries has become a growing concern for the regulatory agencies and farmers. The animal husbandries usually dispose off the manure produced in the facility to the ...
The middle surface concept and its application to constitutive modeling of soils.
(2003)
The modeling of stress-strain behavior of geomaterials, such as soils, is key to the accurate analyses of complicated geotechnical engineering structures. Traditional elastoplastic modeling concepts, characterized by a ...
Laboratory and model prediction of rutting in asphalt concrete.
(2003)
Rutting is one of the major distresses of flexible pavement. It is defined as the formation of longitudinal depressions under the wheel paths caused by the progressive movement of materials under traffic loading in the ...
Static and dynamic behavior of multiphase porous media: Governing equations and finite element implementation.
(2001)
The mechanical behavior of porous media such as geomaterials is largely governed by the interactions of the solid skeleton (or grains) with the fluids existing in the pores. These interactions occur through the interfaces ...
High performance concrete in Oklahoma designed for precast/prestressed bridge beams.
(2003)
It was learned that all cements and aggregates in the test group appear suitable for producing HPC, but some cements and aggregates are better in precast/prestressed concrete applications. Cement selection is crucial to ...
Kinetic and isotope analyses during abiotic transformation of chlorinated hydrocarbons by iron and sulfur minerals
(2009)
Abiotic reductive dechlorination of tetrachloroethylene (PCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), and carbon tetrachloride (CT) by naturally occurring minerals was investigated in this study. The kinetics and in some cases stable ...
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 ...
