A framework-based finite element approach for solving large deformation problems in multi-phase porous media.
(2005)
The performance of the uniform gradient element formulation is studied by simulating settlement of a footing and dynamic behavior of a saturated clay embankment and a level ground. Significant hourglassing is seen for the ...
A practicing engineer's perspective on nonlinear finite element analysis techniques for reinforced concrete structures.
(2004)
The research demonstrates the continued progress in finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures. Increasingly, structural engineers will use this method in their designs, and in research into materials and systems.
Municipal, irrigational and industrial future water requirements in Saudi Arabia.
(1982)
The future water requirements were matched against the available water resources, and it was found that the limited ground water reserves must play a major role in order to meet the future water requirements. To reduce ...
Heuristic statistical models for carbon monoxide in El Paso, Texas.
(1982)
On the basis of existing data it was determined that while traffic is the major source of CO in the area, meteorological factors provide the dominant influence in the elevation of these concentrations to levels that exceed ...
The mathematical macroscopic optimization procedures for transportation safety resource allocation in local urban jurisdictions.
(1982)
Two mathematical programming models, named the Feasibility Assessment Technique and the Optimality Assessment procedure, are developed in this dissertation to select, analyze and allocate safety countermeasures that result ...
Utilization, planning, and problem evaluations of urban arterial waterways and corridors as an urban resource.
(1981)
Widespread concern about flooding and possible use of the nation's urban river corridors has generated unprecedented interest in the potential for utilization of urban riverine corridors while simultaneously protecting the ...
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 ...
Effectiveness of impermeable barriers for retardation of pollutant migration /
(1983)
This paper presents the results of the analysis of the movement of contaminated ground water under or through an imperfect barrier. The first phase of the analysis consists of the development of an analytical solution for ...
