Many highway bridges carry traffic in two same-direction lanes, and modeling the
traffic loading on such bridges has been the subject of numerous studies. Different
assumptions have been used to model multiple-presence ...
The genesis of hydrothermal ore deposits is of crucial economic importance. This study investigates the extent, causes and consequences of zinc and iron isotope fractionation in a large hydrothermal system at the world-class ...
In bridge design, economically addressing large, lateral earth pressures on bridge abutments is a major challenge. Traditional approaches employ enlargement of the abutment components to resist these pressures. This approach ...
A large proportion of today's digital datasets have a spatial component. The effective storage and management of which poses particular challenges, especially with light detection and ranging (LiDAR), where datasets of ...
This work investigated a novel approach of reusing drinking water treatment residuals (WTRs) to reduce the internal P loading from lake sediments under varied levels of dissolve oxygen (DO) in laboratory scale. The results ...
This study has served as more encouraging signs that constructed wetlands (CWs) can incorporate microbial fuel cells (MFCs) into their design to produce electrical energy while treating wastewater. Two 3.7 L CW-MFCs have ...
A common method of collecting traffic loading data across a large road network is to use a network of permanent pavement-based WIM systems. An alternative is to use one or more portable Bridge Weigh-In-Motion systems which ...
Moving Force Identification (MFI) theory can be used to create an algorithm for a Bridge Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) system that can produce complete force histories of the loads that have traversed a bridge structure. MFI is ...
Increasingly buildings and their occupants are negatively impacted by traffic–induced vibrations. The continuous application of vibrations is particularly detrimental for historic masonry buildings and for very modern ...
In recent years the geospatial domain has seen a significant increase in the availability of very large three dimensional (3D) point datasets. These datasets originate from a variety of sources, such as for example Light ...
