constraints throughout each route. The methodology was tested in an undeveloped area near Ashland, Missouri to simulate a new development. Two pairs of baseline and slope conserving routes were evaluated, and the slope-conserving routes were found to require...

[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...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] As transportation involves a multiplicity of modes, there is a need to explore multimodal simulators in transportation and the integration of multimodal simulators to enable...

It is generally accepted in geotechnical engineering that non-cohesive materials such as sands exhibit no or negligible tensile strength. However, there is significant evidence that interparticle forces arising from capillary ...

The pedestrian-vehicle crashes in the City of St. Louis is a major concern due to the high magnitude of injuries and fatalities compared to Missouri's statewide collisions. Thus, there is a need to identify and prioritize the correlates of injury...

The objective of the work is to use numerical analyses to evaluate the limit soil pressure on piles, to evaluate the load transfer mechanism, and to evaluate alternative means for estimating mobilized and limit loads on ...

Many states use rural expressway median crossovers which provide for separation between the two opposing traffic lanes to manage the direct left turn movements between the expressways and cross roads. As the volume increases ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Building envelope is the first and most critical line of defense for a structure against external explosion. Building envelope can be divided into two categories; structural...

Irregular flows, such as the high flows caused by stormwater runoff after a rain event are a major cause of stream impairment in urbanized watersheds. The Hinkson Creek CAM (Collaborative Adaptive Management) approach is ...

[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...

are drivers behave more uniformly after being educated about the meaning of signage displayed on the back of truck, and performance measured with signage would be more preferable than those without signage. Applications of statistics are extension of studies...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Peracetic acid (PAA or CH3COOOH) is a promising alternative to chlorine-based disinfectants for water and wastewater treatment due to its strong antimicrobial properties and low...

Since 2007, the American Association of State Highway Administration Officials (AASHTO) has made utilization of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) mandatory on all federally-funded new bridge projects (AASHTO, 2007). ...

residual landfill, providing ideal measurements to investigate the variability of the alluvial site on the Missouri River. The goal of Sutton's thesis is to determine if side resistance measurements, reported as the friction ratio, of cone penetration...
