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 ...
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 ...
Cost-effective and permissible tunneling can occur only if ground movement prediction is refined to accommodate changes in both the urban environment and tunneling technology. As cities age, tunnels are being installed ...
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 ...
A new lower bound finite element method for slab analysis is presented as a practical substitute to full, non-linear, finite element methods that require expert knowledge and long running times. The method provides a ...
