Performance analysis of parallel flow intersection and displaced left turn intersection designs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The displaced left turn (DLT) (also known as the continuous flow intersection (CFI)) design has proven to be a superior alternative to the conventional intersection in terms...
Load transfer in reticulated and non-reticulated micropiles from large-scale tests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Using micropiles for slope stabilization is a proven technique but there are many uncertainties with how load is transferred from the soil to the structural elements. A large-scale model was constructed to test model slopes ...
Occurrence and modeling of THMS and HAA formation in drinking water
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are two of the largest classes of disinfection by-products (DBPs) during chlorination in drinking waters. In this dissertation...
Simulation and optimization of low impact development for mitigating combined sewer overflows associated with climate change
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Modeling rainfall runoff can help to understand what is happening throughout the system, how can control of water to prevent flood, and how much the quality of runoff can change...
Knowledge discovery and data mining from freeway section traffic data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Archived traffic-generated data (traffic flow, accident, work-zone, and weather data) from PR-18 in San Juan was examined by means of association mining and the KDD process. A total of six studies were developed and studied ...
Use of fluorescence excitation emission matrix spectroscopy for water and wastewater characterization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Excitation Emission Matrix Spectroscopy (EEMS) has the potential to be used for the real time monitoring of environmental effects on water and aquatic systems...
Traffic impact assessment and mitigation strategies for disruptions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This dissertation research focuses on modeling traffic conditions affected by disruptive events such as work zones, incidents, and hurricanes. Using a combination of field data...
Environmental effects on subsurface defect detection in concrete without solar load
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study investigated the application of infrared (IR) thermography for the detection of subsurface damage in concrete. The deterioration of concrete as a result of corrosion...
Process engineering to produce defined hierarchical structures of diatoms for wastewater polishing and micropollutant removal
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Diatoms are unicellular algae, which are among the most common types of phytoplankton. They are widespread in fresh water, oceans and soils with different sizes and morphologies...
First-principle simulation of blast barrier effectiveness for the development of simplified design tools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Blast barrier walls have been shown to reduce the blast load on structures in most scenarios. Analysis of existing data for blast barrier response reveals that a need exists...
Development and evaluation of innovative iron-containing porous carbon adsorbents for arsenic removal
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Arsenic is of serious concern because of its marked negative impacts to human health. Of the various sources of arsenic in the environment, drinking water poses the greatest...
