Design and Assessment of Innovative Dual-Mode Rolling Isolation Systems
(2019-08)
Loss of operation or devastating damage to buildings and industrial structures, as well as equipment housed in them, has been observed due to earthquake-induced vibrations. A common source of operational downtime is due ...
In Situ Testing and its Application to Foundation Analysis in Fine-Grained Unsaturated Soils
(2016-12-16)
The in situ test is an important part of a geotechnical engineer’s arsenal. Currently, there are no established methods for interpreting results of in situ tests in unsaturated soils. The difficulty in interpreting in situ ...
Water reuse potential in the Valley of Mexico and design of a general methodology for the selection of the best water reuse alternative /
(1983)
The Valley of Mexico, as well as many other regions in the world, is experiencing acute water shortages mainly due to population explosion, industrial development, and limited water resources. The major objectives of this ...
The effect of reuse of water for agriculture on the Arab-Asian society :
(1980)
In order to try to insure the efficient transfer of wastewater reuse technology into the society, the author sets up an interdisciplinary model for approaching this development problem. This approach is based on an important ...
A management information system for accident prevention in a land-based oil-well drilling industry /
(1983)
Land-based oil-well drilling, a high-hazard industry needs to have a better model for accident prevention if their accident rates are to be reduced. The purpose of this dissertation is to develop a Management Information ...
Algorithmic improvements and analyses of the generalized wave continuity equation based model, ADCIRC.
(2005)
Second, nearly all GWC-based models utilize a velocity-based, non-conservative momentum equation (NCM) to obtain the depth-averaged velocity profile. It has been hypothesized that the conservative momentum equation (CM) ...
Characterization and Prediction of Flash Flood Severity
(2017-05)
Flash floods, a subset of floods, are a particularly damaging natural hazard worldwide due to their multidisciplinary nature, difficulty in forecasting, and fast response that limits emergency responses. The purpose of ...
CHEMICAL, ISOTOPE AND MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF MICROBIAL REDUCTIVE DECHLORINATION OF TETRACHLOROETHYLENE AND TRICHLOROETHYLENE
(2009)
Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) are among the most commonly detected groundwater contaminants in the U. S. Microbial reductive dechlorination of this group of contaminants was investigated in different ...
Moisture-Induced Damage Characterization of Asphalt Mixes: A Chemical, Thermodynamic and Mechanistic Approach
(2021-05)
Moisture-induced damage is one of the major distresses which leads to the deterioration of mechanical properties of asphalt mixes and failure of asphalt pavements. Evaluation of the moisture-induced damage potential is a ...
