Seismic Vulnerability of Residential Structures in Nicaragua
(2009)
In recent times, many parts of the world have seen a trend of increased construction with reinforced concrete and masonry block systems. These systems can provide excellent seismic resistance when they are designed by an ...
FORMATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION OF TRIGLYCERIDE MICROEMULSIONS USING EXTENDED SURFACTANTS
(2009)
Triglycerides are among the most challenging oils to microemulsify due to their unique structure of a bulky polar ester head and three long hydrocarbon chains. Among the published work on triglyceride microemulsions, the ...
A COUPLED HYDRAULIC-MECHANICAL ELASTOPLASTIC CONSTITUTIVE MODEL FOR UNSATURATED SANDS AND SILTS
(2009)
Unsaturated soils are three-phase porous media consisting of a solid skeleton, pore water, and pore air. It is well known that the behavior of unsaturated soils is influenced heavily by the matric suction (pore air ...
Modeling of Integral Abutment Bridges Considering Soil-Structure Interaction Effects
(2009)
Soil-structure interaction problems are both highly interesting and highly complex. To model soil-structure interaction problems accurately, the constitutive parts (i.e. foundations, soils, and superstructures) must be ...
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 ...

INTERFACE EQUILIBRATION PROCESSES AND THEIR EFFECTS ON WETTABILITY AND INTERFACIAL ENERGY
(2009)
Surface/interface equilibration and wettability modification of organic liquids are two important phenomena in many practical applications including subsurface remediation, detergency and food industry. Although ...
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 ...
