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 ...
Effect of additives on surface free energy characteristics of aggregates and binders in hot mix asphalt.
(2007)
U.S. spends approximately $20 billion/year on asphalt pavements with disproportionately high maintenance costs of $9.3 billion/year. Better performance of asphalt pavements is crucial to reducing these maintenance costs. ...
