Automating traffic studies at modern roundabouts: a feasibility study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
, and signal phasing. At a roundabout, counting techniques are much different. This research builds on other academic research to prove the feasibility of creating an automated traffic counting solution that is comprised of readily available parts, and a...
Simplified model for reinforced concrete beams under catenary action
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The purpose of this research is to develop simplified models to predict the load displacement behavior for any reinforced concrete beam on the basis of material, geometric, and design parameters. The proposed simplified ...
Arsenic rejection by membrane processes : model development and application
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study investigated the rejection of arsenic by several nanofiltration and inorganic clay membranes. Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted ...
Analytical and experimental evaluation of steel sheets for blast retrofit design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Blast resistant design has come to the forefront of engineering concerns in the wake of recent terrorist threats to the United States. The focus of ...
Geotextile wrap-face wall using marginal backfill
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
A concrete retaining wall was constructed during October/November 2005. The height of the wall was 9 feet with a stem width of 0.83 ft, while the width of the base was 1.83 ft. The backfill was a low plasticity clay (CL). ...
Evaluation of stay-in-place PVC-formed concrete walls for blast design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In the event of a blast, concrete might not have the toughness needed to absorb the large amounts of energy imparted, even with the moderate steel ...
Field performance of instrumentation for monitoring effects of timber harvesting on water quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Water samples from ephemeral streams and associated hillsides are being collected to quantitatively determine the impact of Regenerative Oak Clear Cutting (ROCC) on water quality and sediment and nutrient transport in ...
Instrumentation and early performance of an innovative prestressed precast pavement system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Traffic, weather and de-icing salts continually diminish pavement life. Current rehabilitation methods result in traffic congestion and lost work time. The use of prestressed, precast panels for the replacement of damaged ...
Load transfer in micropiles for slope stabilization from tests of large-scale physical models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objective of this work is to provide experimental data to improve prediction of limit loads for micropiles in slope stabilization applications. The experimental data were obtained from tests of 1-g model slopes 8 ft ...
